I first met Helen when she was recruited to our then mutual company. Helen was recruited to develop and grow the sales pipeline and ultimately convert those leads to margin rich sales. Helen achieved and exceeded all targets set for her in her first year at the business. As Sales Director, Helen was diligent, tenacious, honest, extremely hard working and inspirational to work with. Her desire for success was all consuming.
Our paths continued to cross when her then cleaning business was involved in benchmarking exercises for my business and again when Helen provided consultancy services, including conducting independent audit procedures and advice on cleaning projects.
Helen is successful because of her approach. She is a structured thinker; her style is process-driven and logical and she has the rare ability to engage people so that they move forward with her. She is quick to identify the root-cause of problems but wise and experienced enough not to go into solution mode too quickly, rather taking a more reflected, considered manner. Her people skills are well-honed and her experience as a sales trainer allows her to build a successful team quickly.
Helen builds strong and effective relationships with her team and her clients. Her clients will tell you that she is straight-talking, professional, trustworthy and honourable.
Based on my experience of working with Helen, I would have no hesitation in recommending her to assist your businesses in sales and business development, business structure and process evaluation and general margin enrichment programmes.
