Tapping Into A World Of Experience
Sales Geek was founded in the UK in 2017 by Richard Few. Originally starting from a back bedroom, the company officially launched to provide fractional sales directors and sales trainers with a focus on the SMB market.
Today there are Sales Geeks located around the globe including throughout the UK, U.S., India, Asia Pacific, The Middle East, and even Mongolia. When you partner with a local Sales Geek, you’re the beneficiary of their experience, but also the collective experiences of the entire Global Sales Geek community.
No matter how challenging your sales issues may be, Sales Geek has BEEN THERE and DONE THAT!

OUR VALUES
Geeks Care
Compassion starts at home. Being a Geek is belonging to a tribe. We look out for each other and that attitude transfers to our clients.
Geeks are Brave
Geeks speak up for what’s right rather than what’s easy. We are committed to a high standard of personal conduct and have the courage to make tough decisions.
Geeks Make It Fun
If we aren’t having fun doing it then why bother? Geeks strive to transfer that innate sense of fun to our guests, clients and Geekophiles.
Geeks Get Sh!T Done
Procrastination is the thief of time. Time is our most precious asset, why waste it? Geeks commit to something, then do it.
Geeks Are Always Learning
A Geek is never comfortable. We are genuinely excited to learn new stuff and adapt and thrive within an ever changing world.
Geeks Change the World
Our company was founded with the mission to: “change the way the world perceives sales”. That mission has not faltered and each Geek has a contribution to make in realising it.
