Business Coach Kieran Perry
Career and Experience
I am straight talking business advisor, sales expert and business consultant. I enjoy the challenge of bringing positive growth, development and direction to every new client or company I work with, no matter the size or value of the business.
I have worked with a broad spectrum of people and businesses, from millionaires, silicon valley entrepreneurs, global manufacturers, to smaller privately owned businesses and individuals just starting up.
I have successfully launched, developed, coached and run businesses in many different industries including Manufacturing, Retail, Construction, Food & Drink, SAAS, Logistics, Giftware and Technology. I have managed a turnover of £60 million for a world leading Germany manufacturer, and now I coach and work with others to develop their business strategy and sales focus in the Trade, Wholesale, Retail and Service sectors. Below is a brief overview of my career and coaching experience.
Advice For Business
My 25 years of working in all manner of sales and senior management roles, from sales manager, to director, and head of sales, to non-executive director and private business owner, and now as a self-employed business consultant and member of the Institute of Sales Management and Education enables me to advise other businesses on to how to grow their sales and develop their business in the right direction.
I now share all my sales knowledge and business strategies to help other businesses grow and make more profit.
I’m often asked what is my ‘background’, how does it qualify me to do what I do – and how do I help my clients achieve the results they want, so here is my story……
Business Coach For Entrepreneurs
First I learnt how people buy….
After qualifying in Business Management at the age of 18, I then joined the family business. My father had worked very hard to build up a reputable consumer electronics and gift business with a turnover of £10 million, and I was inspired and proud of what he had achieved.
Soon I was attending buying meetings with Argos, John Lewis, Makro, Tesco and the Co-Op, so I learnt very quickly what was required by a buyer, and how to successfully sell vast quantities of consumer goods.
That wasn’t actually where I cut my teeth selling though , it was at the age of 15 walking the streets, knocking on doors, selling double glazing, that I experienced the first buzz of closing a sale, I mastered my craft very quickly and soon began walking away with over £1000 a week and that was over 25 years ago.
Help For Successful Business Growth
Then I learnt the very harsh lesson of how important sales really are…..
I took the training I’d learnt from my father's business and moved up the sales ladder, into print management, then to work for Edinburgh Crystal, and then on to Sales Manager for a highly successful retail brand Emma Bridgewater based in Staffordshire with its head office in London – and it was at this time I witnessed my father’s business go into liquidation.
One of the main reason's the company failed was because he didn’t have a strong enough sales team or business plan in place - I wish I knew then what I do now, as it could have all been avoided. Through my family's own personal set backs, I learnt the very harsh lesson that without sales, a strong and motivated sales team or a carefully structured sales and business strategy, you will always be at great risk of failure.
This experience has made me strive to be the best when it came to sales strategies and business growth management.
Following on from that I spent 20 years climbing the ladder and perfecting my skills, but not without its struggles…….
I have been head hunted throughout my career due to my track record in sales, business management, marketing and my people development skills. This has led me into many different industries and many different types of products and services including, FMCG, precious metals, homewares, gifts and jewellery, industrial products, food and logistics. In every role and company I managed to overcome each unique set of sales problems ensuring there was always sales growth, it has been really tough at times and the constant ongoing level of expectation did nearly make me want to give up selling....

Then finally I discovered my sales methodology.
When I joined a large German manufacturer and world leader in its field, managing a sales turnover of £60 million, and running large teams of areas sales managers and project sales managers, I discovered that managing sales at that level was not fully about selling, but in fact it was much more about problem solving, relationship building and staff motivation.
This is where my “Sales Fix Formula" began....
As I witnessed the business environment shift in the face of continual change, I recognised that when marketing and selling, the use of inventive problem solving techniques was increasingly important in maintaining the growth of a business. It became very apparent to me that it is how problems are perceived, pursued, and solved that makes all the difference, and so here began the research, design and development of my problem solving “Sales Fix Formula".
I now share this formula with others as part of my business coaching, sales mentoring and product expert consultancy.
I now enjoy helping others achieve good business practice and fantastic sales and management results, whether it is a traditional family owned business that needs business coaching, or a brand new online start up business that needs one to one sales training. I am driven to helping companies, business owners and sales professionals reach their goals.
