What Our Colleagues Say…

Tony Wright

Head of Inside Sales & Telephone Account Management

It’s the only time in my working life where I look forward to getting into the office. I can honestly say that I love my job, the people and the company. It’s always challenging, but we have a real “one for all” feeling, with everybody pushing each other to achieve a little more than the day before.

Through time, patience and hard work. All a cliche I know, but after 15 years I can honestly say my successes and rewards are equal to each other. At Daisy, the more you put in, the more you get out. Sales can be tough, but the support network we have is unrivalled and you can treat the business as if it was your own you – once you realise that, you will soon find yourself on the path to success and fulfilment.

Alongside our market-leading strategic partners, we’re going to continue gathering further accreditations and knowledge to enable us to continuously engage, empower and develop our incredibly talented sales force in order to delight our customers.

Jon Garner

Head of Sales Operations

I support our field- and desk-based sales teams with a wide variety of tasks, which ultimately help both our customers and our colleagues.

Working with the sales teams is fast paced and always challenging, but extremely rewarding. There’s no better feeling than when we’ve achieved a great outcome for a customer, or ensured everything is running smoothly in the great Daisy sales engine!

I started out in the technology industry working within a finance and billing function, however I quickly realised that I was well-suited to dealing more closely with customers.

I’m a firm believer that people buy from people, therefore building relationships was one of my keys to success in sales. Having a background in finance and internal operations meant that I better understood how to help customers get to their desired outcomes, which I found was another key to building strong customer relationships and maintaining healthy sales numbers!

I now pass on these experiences to the teams that I manage so they can achieve our KPI’s, targets and company strategies.

We are constantly working towards a number of critical workstreams within the sales community. These include a shift to modern technology, strong customer retention and consolidation of internal systems.

I have also been lucky enough to manage our sales graduate scheme over the past 2 years. The scheme has gone from strength to strength with the support from the business and several key individuals. We are about to embark on our 3rd scheme and I’m looking forward to working with another set of young people to assist their learning and future career in Daisy.

Chris Slattery

Head of Telephony Sales

In every business, sales is fast-paced. You’ll always be striving to achieve further growth and objectives are always evolving… however, one thing remains constant: knowing your customer. Building relationships with multiple stakeholders in corporate organisations is key to success and at Daisy we have aligned our strategy to that and seen great success. Having a plan on progressing the accounts you manage and being fanatical about the activity you put into that plan is fundamental too. We have built a sales structure that rewards loyalty and success and delivers progression with a positive friendly culture. It’s fantastic to see people rewarded when their hard work pays off

I have been in sales for over 25 years and managed teams successfully for large parts of that. Throughout this time, I have worked in various sales functions, and have managed people with roles ranging from specialists, to pre-sales architects right through to account directors. One key thing in all of those teams that I believe has made me successful is my genuine interest in helping people achieve their goals – both professionally and personally. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing people you have coached and developed over the years move onto bigger and better things and achieve their goals in life. Of course, having a plan for myself has always been key in making sure I concentrate on the right things.

With the acquisition of ECSC in the cyber security space, this gives us some real depth of credibility, scope and relevance to our already excellent credentials in this area. For our clients, it is certainly a key topic, as the threat landscape is constantly expanding and the more unsavoury characters out there are consistently attacking all types of organisations. We can really help our clients in this space by keeping them secure and operational, so they can concentrate on the goals they have as a business.

Tommy

Telephone Account Manager Team Leader

Working at Daisy has given me the tools to achieve my career aspirations. I started working on the support team in 2010 and from there I was able to learn the skills required to take me to where I am today as a Sales Team Leader. It’s great to work for a company that really cares about their people and wants them to progress as well as a company that is constantly striving to stay at the forefront of an ever changing industry.

Harriet

Sales Specialist Associate

We support our account managers by coming up with bespoke solutions for our customers.

A Typical day for me, is talking to lots of our customers and internal colleagues, supporting customers are larger more complex deals and building stronger relationships with our vendors.

Apart from being part of an elite sales team… the most rewarding part of my role is helping our customers hit their own goals and improve their ways of working.
