About

If you're in B2B sales, you'll face the challenges of generating leads, converting them to sales and then managing your customers effectively.

I’m Alex and I set up Spear Sales Consulting to help SMEs address these challenges, with a focus on those selling to the Public Sector and NHS where I have led sales and coached sellers most of my career..

Over a 30 year sales career I've helped organisations like Microsoft, BT, Siemens and CenturyLink win over $1bn of business and achieve win rates over 60%.

But enough about me…

SMEs can improve their sales performance by deploying enterprise best-practice sales techniques, particulalry when engaging in more complex Public Sector sales involving longer procurement timetables and multiple stakeholders.   
‍
The SPEAR Sales Operating System for the Public Sector helps you do this.
