| Subjects: | An Incredible and Amusing History of Sales and Marketing An incredible, enlightening, and amusing history of sales and marketing brought to life with true and funny stories both of Tim's own experiences in his sales and marketing career and those of a range of businesses which he shares with the audience, while interacting with them about their own recollections and how they are sold to every day. Did you ever wonder about those advertising and marketing campaigns, old and current, the successes and failures, the good, the bad and why, the add on sales and cold calls? From door to door to online he will reveal all and more including, the death claim that wasnt, the free gifts that were more popular than money invested, passwords, the obsession with feedback, how £500 million was lost in days, £48 million spent on flights, brands created and destroyed and, how he found success in the world of sales and marketing. Anecdotes from an Extraordinary Life (so Far!) In a career spent working in over 40 private sector businesses, charities, and in the public sector including prisons, probation, education, official solicitor and courts it has been quite a journey which is still going! It didn't start well with a struggle through school, scraping a qualification as a teacher and then not being able to get a job as there were too many teachers! The anecdotes that follow are all based on things that have happened in Tim's extraordinary life (so far!). Locked in prison, travel, smokers, local traffic, cyber security, his wife and the mirror, the cost of living crisis and saving money, confidentiality, hot air balloons, corporate events, Olympics, trying to play golf, holidays, London marathon, watching his family grow and what to do when all else fails. Simple, funny and (mostly!) true. Going it Alone - Losing the Corporate Safety Net Redundant! Tim set up his own business in 2004 when he was made redundant and he will provide an hilarious but serious account of the trials and tribulations that followed. From no work to more work than he could do himself, trying to be in three places at once, inventing the company name, saying 'yes', understanding technology, the mobile phone patch, and encounters with HMRC and the VAT man. He will talk about the difference between the corporate world and his own one man band business in a very amusing and engaging talk. My Wives and Other Stories A talk written when one day I realised that my wife makes me laugh every day! From snails to the sale of mirrors and from swingers to sunny holidays my wife has given me my best and funniest material. The wedding story, the 'Good Wife Guide'(!), work stories, appraisals, the theatre, the car boot sale, signs, the fire, exams, the travel agent, questions, the counsellor and so many more. Good clean, original and some embellished stories brought to life which will make you laugh - enjoy!! |
