&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Business Growth Partner &amp;amp; Outsourced Sales Department&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I work with Business Owners, Managing Directors, Entrepeneurs, Sales and Marketing Directors of Micro, Small and Medium sized businesses to find the best way to deliver organic business growth that gets them from where they are to where they want to be quicker and sustainably.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having spoken with many business owners, the issue that crops up regularly is that they offer a fantastic product or service and are certainly passionate about what they do, but having exhausted their networks and referral opportunities, they struggle to generate new sales without appearing pushy. Selling is not something they feel comfortable with which is why they need help from an expert in the field to help them grow their business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nobody likes the stereotypical image of a salesperson, and I&amp;rsquo;m not. I work with my clients to create a professional business system that utilises the latest online and offline techniques to generate high-quality sales conversations. My aim is to maximise opportunities and minimise unnecessary expenditure through strategic business development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My business development experience exceeds 20 years in the following sectors:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Hospitality&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Retail &amp;amp; FMCG &amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Oil &amp;amp; Gas&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cara Sayer is a straight-talking entrepreneur and inventor. A popular speaker at events, she tells it like it is. Cara started her business in 2009 based on her need for a product that didn’t exist. She wanted her baby daughter to sleep when they were out and about – and she believed that many other parents had this same problem. So she decided to create a solution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With no experience in retail or manufacturing, she created SnoozeShade, the world’s best-selling range of baby sun and sleep shades. Her brand is recommended by leading baby experts all over the world, has won more than 70 awards, is used by celebrities and royalty and, most importantly, has helped hundreds of thousands of parents worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Despite initial public success in selling in major retailers and with 20+ distributors globally, 2014 saw Cara getting divorced and realising that her business was not profitable enough to pay the bills. When she saw Facebook ads showing how a garlic press could make a million, she decided to learn how to sell on Amazon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since 2016, Cara has more than tripled her turnover and doubled profit and her products are Amazon best-sellers in the very competitive baby category. As she frequently gets asked how she has done it, Cara started holding small workshops to teach other independent product brand businesses how to increase their sales on Amazon with ’Make It Brand It Sell It’.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cara loves passing on to other owners of small businesses what she has learned, sharing the real ups and downs of running and growing a business.&lt;/p&gt;
