RESUME from Mike Lockley
I have known Richard for over 20 years, both from when we were in a corporate environment together, as well as currently in an independent context.
Richard certainly has the sales pedigree and through tough times and good times has excelled in the selling arena. He has excelled in his own right, as well as in motivating and supporting his sales team to reach and go beyond targets.
He is now in the arena of passing on his wisdom and skills to aspirant and professional sales professionals as an independent sales guru.
Don’t ignore the opportunity to tap into his sales wisdom, even if it’s just fine tuning your already working sales engine.
However, he will probably move you to embark on a complete sales engine overhaul.
Best of luck with sales of your book Richard and great that seasoned bulls are willing to pass on their legacy before finally going to pasture.

Thank you
I think that after the success of Saturday’s event you will get lots of word of mouth referrals from the delegates who attended for the next one!
“What a fun morning session it was! Bet you never expected it to be so vocal, but JHB is not for sissies and I am sure every delegate left with something fresh to try.
Will certainly attend another one in the future.”
“Thanks sooo much for a brilliant session. I certainly came away feeling the need to spark things up.
I agree with Craig, and I too look forward to your future presentations. My staff will attend your training sessions as well.”
Kind regards
Albert is a very special person – & an incredible Sales Professional – it was very easy to bring him along!
So, what he claims I did for him, he really did by himself!
But, hey, I will take it!
