I finally launched out on my own about 12 years ago. I enjoyed it from the outset.
I know sales is a lot of folk’s worst nightmare, but I have just consistently had a knack for it. It doesn’t seem like work as far as I was concerned, if I am out and about chatting to people. We have a genuinely good service that I believe in, thus it nearly sells itself anyway.
The single thing I dislike with regard to being the owner of my own business is all that red tape. I realise that it needs to be done, but I’m a great believer in focussing on what you’re good at, and my skill is sales.

My favourite part of my company is whenever I’m out chatting to people or attempting to close new accounts. My dad used to say that I would be able to flog snow to the Inuit.
I started out in sales whilst still a kid, advertizing concerts and club nights.
I invariably managed to get a greater number of customers into the place than the other guys and it proved to be just natural to me. From there I went into car sales, and that I also turned out to be quite good at.
Since then there hasn’t been much I did not turn my hand to flogging: insurance policies, windows, leather handbags imported from Turkey, quilts. You name it, I have sold it.

I did not start a business so I could be drowned under a pile of paperwork. I’ve never particularly been a natural when it comes to the office component of the business. I used to leave all that sort of thing to the wife, but she decided two or three years back that this was getting too difficult for her, therefore I stepped in.
I’d never handled this component of the business up til then so it proved to be a real revelation. I felt as if I was just wasting the entire day trapped in the office staring at a laptop. That is the reason that I started the commercial enterprise, in order that I might get away from an office! I managed about five months until I made up my mind that life is just too short.
I tracked down a company which specializes in back office outsourcing and asked them to take on the paperwork.

I eventually started my own business about eleven years ago. I really liked it from the get-go.
I realise sales is a lot of people’s idea of hell, but Ive just always had a knack for it. It doesn’t feel like working as far as I was concerned, if I am out and about speaking to folk.
We have a tremendously good service which I have faith in, thus it almost flogs itself anyway. The single aspect I do not enjoy with regard to having my own business is all the red tape. I realize that it needs to be dealt with, but I am a real believer in focussing on what you’re good at, and my gift is selling.

The most enjoyable aspect of the company is whenever I am out speaking to clients or attempting to close prospective deals.
My father used to say that I would be able to sell sand to the Arabs.
I started off in promotions when I was a youngster, flyering gigs and nightclubs. I invariably managed to get a larger amount of punters into the place than anybody else and it turned out to be just natural to me. After that I got in to car sales, and this I also proved to be pretty good at. Over time there wasn’t a lot I did not have a go at flogging: life assurance, stair-lifts, leather luggage imported from Spain, jewellery. Whatever it is, I have managed to sell it.

I didn’t set up my own company so I could be drowned under a tower of documents. I have never particularly been happy when it comes to the office component of my organisation.
I preferred to delegate all that sort of stuff to the missus, however she realized a few years back that this was getting too difficult for her, and so I took over.
I’d never handled that component of my company previously and it proved to be a genuine revelation. I felt like I was just squandering the whole week trapped at my desk mucking about with laptop.
That’s the reason that I started my own commercial enterprise, in order that I might get out of the office! I coped for three months til I decided that I had to find another solution.
I tracked down a company which specializes in back office outsourcing and got them to deal with the paperwork.

I did not start a commercial enterprise so I could drown beneath a tower of paperwork. I’ve never particularly been a natural with regard to the office side of the organisation. I used to leave all that kind of thing to my wife, but she realised several years back that this had been getting too difficult for her, therefore I started to do it myself.
I had never handled that part of my company beforehand and it proved to be a real shock to the system.
I felt like I was just wasting the entire week stuck in the office staring at a laptop. That is why I set up my own business, so I would get away from the office! I managed about four months before I decided that life is just too short. I contacted an agency which specialises in back office outsourcing and got them to handle the office stuff.

I ultimately launched out on my own about ten years back. I really liked it from the outset. I know that sales is a lot of folk’s worst nightmare, however Ive just consistently had a knack for it. It doesn’t seem like work as far as I was concerned, when I’m out and about talking to folk. We’ve got a really strong product that I believe in, so it nearly sells itself anyway. The sole element I dislike with respect to owning my own commercial enterprise is all of that red tape. I understand it needs to be done, but I’m a true believer in focussing on what you’re good at, and my gift is selling.

The most enjoyable part of the business is whenever I’m out talking to clients or attempting to sign up new deals.
My mum used to say that I would be able to flog snow to the Inuit.
I started off in promotions as a teenager, advertising concerts and club nights.
I always managed to get a larger amount of punters in the door than anyone else and it turned out to be second nature as far as I was concerned. From there I moved in to car sales, and that I was also pretty good at. Over time there hasn’t been a lot I didn’t try flogging: insurance policies, patio doors, leather jackets imported from Russia, jewellery.
Name anything, Ive flogged it.

I did not start my own business in order that I could drown under a stack of paperwork.
I’ve never really been comfortable when it comes to the office aspect of my organization.
I tended to pass on all that type of stuff to my missus, but she realised two or three years ago that this had been becoming too hard for her, and as a result I stepped in. I had never done this component of the company up til then and it turned out to be a real shock to the system.
It was as if I was simply wasting the whole day stuck in the office fiddling about on the computer.
That’s the reason that I set up my own commercial enterprise, so I would escape from the office! I managed about four weeks until I decided that life is just too short. I found a company that specialised in back office outsourcing and employed them to do the paperwork.

I ultimately started my own business about 11 years back.
I loved it from the outset. I realize that selling is many people’s idea of hell, but I have just consistently had a knack for it. It doesn’t seem like work as far as I was concerned, when I’m busy talking to people.
We have a really strong service which I am proud of, therefore it almost sells itself anyway. The only element I don’t like with respect to owning my own company is all the bureaucracy. I accept that it has to be done, but I’m a true believer in playing to your strengths, and my skill is sales.

The most enjoyable part of my company is when I’m out talking to clients or trying to confirm prospective deals.
My father always said that I could flog snow to the Inuit. I started off in promotions as a youngster, advertizing gigs and club nights. I invariably seemed to get a larger amount of customers into the place than the other guys and it was second nature to me. Subsequently I went into car sales, and this I also turned out to be fairly good at. Over the years there hasn’t been much I did not try flogging: life assurance, patio doors, designer goods imported from Iran, sofas. You name it, I have flogged it.

I didn’t set up a business so I would be buried under a stack of paperwork. I have never really been a natural with regard to the office component of my organisation. I tended to delegate all of that kind of stuff to my missus, but she realised two or three years ago that this was getting too much for her, so I started to do it myself.

I realise that selling is lots of folk’s idea of hell, however Ive just always found it easy. It doesn’t feel like work to me, when I am out and about talking to folk. We have a fantastically good service that I have faith in, so it just about sells itself anyway. The sole thing I don’t like with respect to having my own business is all of the bureaucracy. I admit it needs to be dealt with, but I’m a great proponent of focusing on the things that you are good at, and my skill is sales.

My favourite part of the company is whenever I’m out chatting to clients or endeavouring to close new accounts. My mum always said that I would be able to flog ice to the Eskimos. I started out in promotions when I was a kid, advertizing gigs and club nights.
I invariably managed to get more customers to the venue than anyone else and it was second nature as far as I was concerned. Subsequently I went into car sales, and this I was also rather competent at. Over the years there hasn’t been a great deal I did not turn my hand to flogging: mobile phones, stair-lifts, designer jackets imported from Italy, furniture. You name it, I have sold it.

I preferred to pass on all that sort of thing to my missus, however she realised a few years ago that it was getting too hard for her, therefore I took over. I hadn’t done this aspect of the company beforehand so it proved to be a major shock to the system.
I felt as if I was just wasting the entire week sitting in the office mucking about with laptop.
That is why I started the commercial enterprise, so I would get away from the office! I managed about 2 months until I made up my mind that life is just too short.
I identified a business which specializes in back office outsourcing and got them to handle the paperwork.

I realise sales is lots of folk’s worst nightmare, but Ive simply constantly found it easy. It doesn’t seem like work from my point of view, when I’m busy talking to folk.
