Katharine has run her own highly successful telemarketing business since 2007 and prior to that, worked for over 20 years in sales, primarily recruitment, from high street to executive search.

Her specialist recruitment and phone confidence training workshops have successfully migrated from bespoke, on site delivery to online delivery. She most enjoys combining these with her weekly tele-coaching with participants, taking great pleasure in helping them grow in confidence each week and share and learn from their sales successes.

Katharine has notched up well over 30 years hands on experience in business to business sales plus recruiting, coaching and training sales and recruitment staff. She delivers consistently high numbers of quality leads and business opportunities for clients ranging from business coaches and advisors, recruitment businesses, IT, web developers, graphic designers and accountants to electrical contractors, catering and hospitality specialists and finance specialists. Clients benefit from her in depth business knowledge and expertise as well as her warm, friendly and down to earth approach which is why so many clients have stayed with Katharine for years and continue to recommend her services.

Katharine is a qualified life coach, having completed the Life Coaching Certificate and then Diploma through Newcastle College in 2004 and 2005.

On a personal note, Katharine enjoys keeping fit and is an active member of her local fitness club including swimming most days. She loves spending time with her family and friends, having walks with her adopted dog Winnie along the local beach, singing with friends in the local choir group and when she has time, dabbles in a bit of creative work, particularly portraits and painting as well as reading a good book. And any time away in the family motorhome is often all she needs to recharge the social batteries.

Samantha started her own telemarketing business over 13 years ago after a successful career in the IT software industry heading up direct sales, business development, channel and partnership teams across Europe, Middle East and Africa. Her knowledge and experience in sales have given her a particular focus and drive to support and train others in selling techniques and understanding the sale process.

Over the years, Samantha and her team of telemarketers have worked in many industry sectors, from IT, facilities management, life sciences and manufacturing to accountancy and business coaching, generating thousands of sales opportunities, leads and appointments for her clients. She loves helping business owners, sales professionals and other telemarketers who are looking to use the phone to successfully sell to and communicate with others.

When she’s not playing taxi to her two teenagers, Samantha loves music and going to live concerts with her husband Martyn, or friends. She recently started drum lessons which she loves, although yet to have a set in the house!
