About Us

Proten Sales Development’s founder is Phil Sayers, a career salesman and sales manager. Phil has been selling for more years than he cares to remember, selling products and services around the world. He has sold products as diverse as building materials, transport and logistics equipment, design services, accounting and payroll software and services, IT system management software, telemarketing services, satellite communications equipment and most recently was the Sales & Marketing Director and Interim CEO of a UK cloud accounting software vendor.

Phil has recruited, developed and trained sales teams and derives as much satisfaction from helping sales people and teams become successful as he ever did from closing sales deals that ranged from a few hundred pounds to over a million.

Phil has worked for, owned and run SME’s, so he understands the mindset required, the pressures faced and the pride and sometimes defensive ways in which owner / managers view their business… it is, after all “their baby”. He understands that no two businesses are identical and recognises that out of the box, end-to-end coaching solutions may not be appropriate.

Now he uses those years of experience to help B2B businesses sell more, sell often and build a better business. 

Outside of work, Phil is a keen (if slow) runner, plays (or rather tries to play) a number of musical instruments (although his ability to collect instruments far outweighs his ability to play them) and is a long time supporter of London Irish Rugby Club.
