Jackie Wade - MD
As MD of Winning Sales, its hardly surprising and hopefully reassuring that my background is firmly embedded in sales and marketing. I began selling within the family business in Dublin when I was about 10 and had the pleasure (and pain) of being exposed to many interesting and colourful situations and people throughout my early career. I guess my enthusiasm and passion for selling comes from those very early days.
My career in sales and marketing spans over 25 years. Following attainment of my degree in International Marketing from Dublin City University, I travelled the globe, working within many different environments, companies, industries and continents. I have been involved in all aspects of strategic marketing and business development and have sold into multi-million pound TV companies, large international corporations, smaller businesses, retail, agents, distributors all over the world, and even dealt directly with the wonderful public!
In 2000, I decided to stand back from corporate life and extensive travel and set up my own business, having recently moved to the North East of England – enabling me to share my experiences and passions with others who wished to learn from my successes. I have been involved in training, coaching, motivating and consultancy ever since.
In September 2004, I launched my business Winning Sales, demonstrating a clear focus on sales excellence and commitment to working with companies to help improve their performance in this area. It’s been fun and I’ve been kept busy, I’ve made new friends and worked with lots of interesting businesses and people. I derive great pleasure from the knowledge that I have positively impacted on many companies and individuals particularly in the NorthEast, where I am based & look forward to lots of exciting new partnerships ahead.
