Geoff King started at the bottom of the sales ladder, selling pest control products on the streets of south London. After this inauspicious start, he climbed steadily through the ranks of professional service organisations until he reached the top of the ladder. By the end of his in-house career, he was routinely selling multi-million pound deals in outsourcing services for multinationals. He now lives in Buckinghamshire with his wife and children and works as a freelance consultant on sales methods and strategies.
