Key Skills & Services: |
Vic is a sales and marketing professional who specialises
in market research, market analysis, the development of strategic
and marketing plans and the implementation of those plans to grow
sales. Customer surveys and market research ensure the most profitable
market segments are targeted (both domestic and export) and using
these, Vic focuses on developing existing customers and establishing
new ones.
Vic is also a Chartered Engineer who implements change through
process optimisation and lean thinking. He improves office and factory
procedures by identifying and solving problems, reducing waste and
developing new systems to enhance productivity and performance. |
Career Background: |

recently, when responsible for worldwide sales, he researched and
quantified new market segments to target and consequently doubled

the UK, Europe, US, Mexico, Brazil, Africa, Thailand, Japan and Fiji.

Comments: |
Ultimately, people buy from people – and so
knowing your customer and knowing what they want, whether through
surveys or other market research, is vital for the continued success
and growth of your business. This is where I aim to add value.
Although based in the Midlands, I am happy to work nationally and
internationally as required. |
