I have a burning passion to empower people to be more successful. Bottom line - to sell more!
To show business people how to quickly and easily apply new skills to build relationships, increase sales, expand their businesses and grow their wealth.
My path to founding and building the Fiveplus business is a story of constant movement, application and asking powerful questions like “what is a better way to do this that creates the most value for clients?”
I graduated from University with double Honours in Economics and Finance. Cutting my negotiation and decision making teeth in investment banking at a fast paced London firm gave me a solid foundation for my next step, returning to South Africa to start up a wholesale trading business in precious stones. This business grew rapidly and gave me extensive first-hand selling experience in both the B2B and B2C environments in a highly competitive product space.
Following the sale of this business to a multi-national conglomerate, I decided I wanted to build a business that helped fellow business people, showing those keen to progress exactly how advanced selling skills could be mastered and applied for maximum benefit.
Soon after, I founded the Fiveplus Group and developed the dynamic workshops and innovative training materials business professionals rave about and benefit from today.
I have delivered workshops, training sessions and keynote addresses to thousands of people in Australia, all sharing a common goal - to improve their skills.
I honestly believe that no-one who has seen me speak doubts my passion and commitment to improving people's sales skills.
And those who have attended my workshops and experienced first-hand the power of applying the Five+ skills using Texas Hold’Em Poker as a training ground agree that my workshops are unique, educational, fun and wickedly effective.
