Lyreco's Grove to join sales-i
Ashley Grove, former Key Account Manager at Lyreco, has joined the team at sales-i, the real-time sales intelligence service for sales people. In his new role he is expected to boost sales in the Office Products sector.
Grove joined Lyreco in 2002 as a field sales rep covering Gloucester, Tewkesbury and the Forest of Dean. He delivered sales growth of 235 per cent, adding 239 new customers to Lyreco’s base. Promoted to the corporate division, he took charge of key national accounts including the Land Registry and West Midlands Police consortium where he successfully managed contracts valued at £3 million.
Paul Black, co-founder of sales-i, says:
"With Ashley on board leading Office Products market sales, we are in a great position to capitalise on our already strong growth in such a target market. sales-i is a perfect fit for office products companies and this coupled with Ashley’s extensive market knowledge and experience will be instrumental in shaping our future growth.”
Grove says: “I wish I had had sales-i when I was working as a field salesman. Having that level of customer information at my finger tips would have helped me enormously; being alerted in real-time to call opportunities and then being able to log notes from that call immediately afterwards would have helped me exceed my target quicker and saved me working those long evenings!.”
