Imagine the thing you are most passionate about… Now imagine that everyone else’s experience of that passion seems to be negative! That’s how our Geeks feel everyday about their passion for sales. “Sales” has become a dirty word and we have had enough. Our mission is to change the way the world perceives sales. We can only change the world if we embody our values and live our mission, consistently providing ethical selling practices that work for us and our customers. This is your chance to become part of that mission. Your chance to become a Sales Geek.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
I can’t speak for you, but there’s a strong chance I was inthe very position you are now, reading this. I’d got to the top of my profession, was making great money, I still had a passion for sales and so much more to offer, but I was miserable. I was away from my young family more than was healthy, I worked all day, every day and knew deep down that I had to listen to that nagging voice inside me that there had to be a better way. A way to rekindle my love for my job, a way I could balance family life, a way I could work smarter, not harder and actually add real value to businesses that needed it most. That was the crucible from which Sales Geek arose. And I’ve never looked back. If this seems familiar to you then please read on, Geek life might just be for you too.

What impact has being a Geek had on me and my life? Easy – a spectacular change that has exceeded my expectations, and then some. Everyone in life needs their own special tribe, their very own bunch of misfits that gel together to create something special. Sales Geek is mine. I knew it from the moment I walked into the office. My confidence levels have soared, I believe in myself more, I know my value and share that with others, I’ve made some amazing friends for life, and we have a shared passion for change and an intense loyalty that you can’t replicate, it’s just there. It’s allowed me family time, emotional freedom and lit a new fire in me to create an infinite sales legacy.
What impact have I had on others as a result of being a Geek? This happens on two fronts – family and business colleagues. For my family, the positive impact has been incalculable. The happiness I have, the time I spend with them, the little luxuries we now have as a result of the reward of what being a Geek allows me to earn, it’s all changed everything about my home and family life. I smile every day, even when I’m exhausted, I have the best job in the world. They see that, and it makes them happy. For my clients and colleagues, they describe it as having their own sales business therapist. It’s very cathartic for them, they have the time to stop, learn, reflect, and implement new strategies and methods they didn’t know existed. It’s liberating and validating for them at the same time. Not to mention increasing revenues and profits for them ultimately. The feedback is that we ARE changing the way the world perceives sales, one person and one business at a time.

What is a Sales Geek?
A Sales Geek is someone with who has a passion for sales. They understand the transformational impact that good sales processes can have on an business. They come from all sorts of leadership backgrounds but generally long for something better than they have now. Owning your own Sales Geek business means you can take back control of your working life to find a better balance that works for you and your family. And finally, you can use your skills and experience to make a real world difference in your own community that looks to you to help their businesses survive and thrive.

What does a Sales Geek actually do?
A question we get asked over and over. The answer is pretty simple but with layers of complexity that you’ll uncover not just through reading this prospectus but every day in your life as a Geek. Ostensibly, a Sales Geek provides part-time Sales Director services and sales training for small and medium sized enterprises. As you learn more you will realise that Sales Geeks are also:
- Mentors
- Coaches
- Leaders
- Builders
- Realists
- Therapists
- Educators
- Supporters
- Encouragers
- Networkers
- Cartographerss
- Planners
- Connectors
- Strategists
- Tacticians
THERE’S ONE THING A SALES GEEK ISN’T.
WE ARE NOT CONSULTANTS!
If there’s one thing that’s become a dirtier word than “sales” it’s “consultant”. And we don’t play in that pool. Sales Geeks work together in partnership with businesses, we take ownership of sales functions and we leave businesses healthier than when we arrived!

A day in the life of a Geek
What does a Sales Geek Actually Do?
8.00am - 9.30am
Sales Club
Sales Clubs are just a perfect way to introduce Sales Geek to your community, add value and strike up conversations. Sales Geek show you how to set them up in partnership with Chambers of Commerce or similar
9.30am - 10.30am
Networking
There’s no substitute to working a room and talking with people as a business development tool for your growing Franchise. There’s usually a steady stream of leads from a community you come to like, know and trust
11.00am
Client Call
Not all the work you do will be in-person delivery and sometimes there’s a chance for a quick catch-up or a client might call just for some advice. I love that being a Sales Geek is NOT the same as being a consultant. We are invested (not financially) in someones business.
12.30pm
Training
As a franchisee most of your work will be with small businesses in your community but the power of the Sales Geek brand often pulls a larger business or two into your orbit. Often training for really large clients is delivered by multiple Geeks and is a great chance to learn from each other.
3.00pm
Pick the kids up from school
This is one of the reasons I love owning my own Sales Geek business. I can build my working life around family life. If I want to go to a school assembly or sports day, I can. Sales Geek offers me total freedom to build my own schedule.
4.00pm
YSD Session
Once again the flexibility of being a Sales Geek allows me to work around my client’s schedule when necessary. I can see first hand the impact my input into their business has. I love the fact that as a Sales Geek we can take ownership of a sales function and revenue lines for a client and get them functioning as they should.
8.00pm
Date Night
Another reason we do what we do. I’ve definitely become a better husband since becoming a Sales Geek. I’m more present, less worried and consumed by my job, so I can make time for the ones I love.

Advice
Jon Whitby
SALES GEEK CHESHIRE EAST
My advice to anyone considering taking on a Geek Franchise is to talk to the team and find out more, especially for those who have always wanted to run their own business but maybe worry about all the ‘other stuff’ getting in the way of what they love. With the support of Team Geek behind you, that worry is taken care of.

ALL ABOARD
Sales Geek onboarding week is the funnest yet most intense training course I’ve ever been on. It is so well organised, the HQ team are really welcoming, the office and training space is perfect and the view of the Cathedral and square below just caps everything off. Even little things like knowing which music you like so it can be played in the office or having your favourite foods and drinks available, the HQ team go out of their way to make you feel part of a family. There’s so much to learn that in the hands of a less experienced training team it could be overwhelming. But they really have an understanding of how people learn so everything is more digestible. In any case the sessions are filmed in a professional manner so you can catch up on them later on.
Whilst you are in the North West the HQ team build in social events across the calendar so you aren’t left alone in the hotel room all week, there’s plenty to do in the evenings and memories to be made with new found friends and a new understanding of what it means to be a Geek. And then once you travel back there’s still plenty to learn with four additional weeks of online training making sure you are equipped to hit the ground running as your friendly neighbourhood Sales Geek.

My biggest takeaway on becoming a Geek is the investment of time, process, product and people there has been to gear me up for success and keep me enthused and encouraged on my new business journey. I could see that every step of the way that I mattered to everyone and they really want me to feel valued, and part of the Sales Geek family, invested in my success and happiness. From the start I have been really motivated and enthusiastic to go out into my business community and spread that same spirit to my network, clients and friends.
