What prompted you to start Sales Geek?
- I started Sales Geek in 2017. I always wanted to help smaller businesses and the SME community. I wanted to teach them the skills I had learnt in my sales career so they could benefit out of them. When I started out, I was the only geek helping a small community in UK. Today, we have more than 50 geeks in 5 different continents helping businesses and their communities. It's been a great experience so far.
