What is your biggest business success to date?
Setting up my business in just three working days, after my previous employer went bust overnight. 18 months on, the business has a strong turnover, and I now employ over 40 staff here in Leeds.
I set up my business in just three working days... and now employ over 40 staff.
What's your business plan?
My business plan is a complementary business to my main outsourced Sales/ Telemarketing business. An online tool designed to help sales staff at all levels throughout their sales conversations. The tool is designed to provide little but constant support in the form of a “chat-bot” where the user can input their issue and the tool responds with ideas/tips around the sales objection.
What’s one thing that you hope to challenge/prove yourself within the process?
Living in a house with strangers. I have never lived with anyone except myself and my family so it will be a different experience.
Why do you deserve Lord Sugar’s investment?
I deserve his investment as I have proven I can build and set up a successful business in a short time frame and work incredibly hard. Drive, skill and passion are what’s required to have a successful business, and I have proven I have that in abundance.
