Hi, I’m Dean Sale…great name for sales I know!
I’m an Author, Consultant, Sales Performance Coach and Mentor: (…Dad & Husband too! which are my most important roles of course).
I have over 30 years experience in sales & business,…I’m an all-round Sales Whizz®. As an entrepreneur I’ve worked hard and smart to achieve great success in business. I was the Co-Founder & Sales Director of a multi-million pound turnover business that employed over 45 people. Over 18 years my business won multiple industry awards and was featured in THE SUNDAY TIMES – Fast Track 100 (2009) as the 90th fastest growing company in the UK, I collected an award at Sir Richard Branson’s home.
I sold my business in 2018 to pursue new interests and achieve new goals: “we created it, we built it & then we sold it”, that was always our plan.
I created Sales Whizz® to continue to do what I love, sales & helping others.
My Story
I’m a kid from a council estate that has always dreamt big. When I was 15, I had an epiphany and my ‘want’ for success began, it was the first time I said “I can, and I will”. I flew on Concorde (in my teens) as a reward for sales excellence, I ran down the aisle at supersonic speed so I could feel like a superhero. When I was 19, I set myself a goal of becoming a millionaire by the age of 45, in my early twenties I reduced this timeframe to 43. I sold my telecoms business and walked out of my office on my 43rd birthday! The goal I set when I was a teenager had been accomplished: However, I’m not really a yesterday person, I much prefer asking myself “what can I achieve today and what are my goals for tomorrow and beyond”.
I’ve employed, coached and mentored hundreds of wonderful people over the past 2 decades. For me there is nothing more satisfying than watching my team flourish and succeed on the back of the help & support I’ve given them, and now with my new business Sales Whizz® I’m continuing to do what I love & enjoy.
“I have been fortunate to have Dean as my Boss, Mentor and friend for a little over 16 years…his leadership, guidance and enthusiasm helped me to become what I am today. His passion for sales is unparalleled, moreover, his dedication to ensuring the people around him succeed has provided me with the perfect direction on how to best manage my sales force.”
Family
I’m married to a beautiful lady (we’ve been together for over 25 years). We attended infant & junior school together, so maybe it was written in the stars for us to be soul mates.
“Tell her about it. Tell her all your crazy dreams” – Billy Joel
…I did and now we dream together!
We have 2 wonderful children, I’m so proud of them both.
“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country” – Anais Nin
…Oh, and I must mention our sausage dog ‘Wilson’. We named Wilson after the ball in the Tom hanks film Cast Away, we still laugh when we shout ”WIIILLLSSSON”.
Books & Publications
Writing a book was on my to-do list for many years, and it’s now become a reality: I’ve recently published the first in a series of self-improvement books on sales.
SOS BUSINESS SALES
I’ve always championed to others, how you can ‘Improve your technique by adopting a solid set of sales fundamentals’.
How can I help?
Creative thinking & innovative ideas has always been a speciality of mine, and now I’m applying these methods to the wonderful business owners, managers & teams I’m working with. Driving sales is what I do!! …whether it’s directly (as a Consultant) or indirectly (as a Sales Performance Coach), my goal is to help you attract new customers, generate new leads & opportunities and close more deals.
We all need a little help & support along the way, entrepreneur is an easy word to say but not so easy to be. As a Mentor I encourage, motivate, drive and support the people I work with.
