Graham Bunting FInstSMM 07836 389389 (LION)’s Summary
I am an energetic, and motivated professional with more than 25 successful years sales & leadership experience in the telecoms market place - building, developing & managing sales teams & sales channels to deliver revenue growth.
I have significant expertise working in multiple tiered & complex go to market models across the whole market from Large Enterprise sales to the smaller faster paced SME space.
Within Avaya latterly, I headed up the channel sales team as sales director for the UK. I have been always involved in sales/sales management and Business Management - in both new business/direct sales and channel - sell through and sell with models.
Career options moving forward include consultancy, interim executive roles and channel sales development and coaching.
I help businesses grow revenues and profit through a deeper understanding of their current sales capability and development opportunities; their customer segmentation; customer relationships and marketing strategy.
My philosophy is simple
= I do what I say I will do - I am committed
= I am open to new experiences and connections
= I am always eager to learn
= I always provide help where I can
= I am a friend
= I look to see how I can give something back
= Above all I operate with integrity, and passion and aim to be your trusted advisor
