Small businesses struggle to attract top sales talent, but the leading online skills marketplace, PeoplePerHour.com has bagged a seasoned medical and IT sales manager in Maggie Robertson as their 5000^th registered provider, bringing impressive sales skills to UK small businesses through the site.

Maggie has worked for many years in the competitive medical and IT sales arena. She has won many accolades for her sales and marketing work, and on numerous occasions has achieved the top sales position. She now brings that proven sales talent, skills and expertise within the reach of small business owners, through PeoplePerHour.com, working for an agreed hourly rate or a fixed price for a specified projects.

Maggie is just one of over 5,000 freelance professionals available to UK small businesses. There are 1458 sales, marketing and PR providers registered at PeopelPerHour.com at PeoplePerHour.com at the time of writing, including that rare breed like Maggie: sales people with technical sector expertise. And unlike employment agencies, with PeoplePerHour.com, they all agree their own rate with the buyer and work either on a per hour or fixed project basis.

Xenios Thrasyvoulou, founder and CEO of PeoplePerHour.com said, “Good experience in sales, particularly in technical areas like medicine and IT, is so hard to come by and PeoplePerHour.com are attracting a decent number of them, possibly because technical people are naturally tuned-in to online solutions. A lack of skilled sales people is often cited as the reason that Britain is so poor at commercialising its science base. It’s a major impediment to business expansion, but on PeoplePerHour.com, small business owners can invite Maggie and the other registered sales and marketing people to bid to help them boost their business.”

Maggie provides a results-orientated service covering telemarketing/telesales/sales consultancy, face-to-face selling and providing sales & marketing content for brochures and websites. And if a business needs a business or marketing plan, in-depth research, management of sales team, recruitment and training of sales team, she will sort that out too. She will also handle database cleanse and accurate data input.

Why did she leave the day job?

She cites her love of France as the main reason to go freelance in 2007. She now uses her impressive sales experience to work from her new French home, although she has retained an UK base. Maggie now works predominantly from Brittany where she enjoys a lifestyle that provides her with a far more relaxed work schedule. ”I now have more time to spend with my family and friends and can be selective in the work I undertake. Fortunately I discovered www.peopleperhour.com,” said Maggie. 

This website provides a direct, low-cost channel for professionals like Maggie to register for work and win new business. It’s quick and easy to register and she has the option of actively searching for projects to bid on, or waiting until interest is shown by a client. Not surprisingly with her skills, she does have to chase work too hard. She says, “I haven’t looked back since working from home.”
