Sales Geeks set to take Scotland by storm

A national sales training franchise is expanding across Scotland, creating new opportunities for businesses and professionals to access expert growth support.

Sales Geek, the award-winning leadership and training franchise, has launched a Scotland-wide operation led by co-owners Peter Barclay and Davie Sneddon. 

Building on its established base in Glasgow and Edinburgh, the new venture will deliver tailored sales director services, fractional leadership and bespoke training to companies across the country.

By combining local expertise with the franchise’s proven strategies, Peter and Davie say Sales Geek Scotland will aim to reshape how businesses access senior sales leadership while opening new franchise opportunities for ambitious professionals across the country.

Peter said: “We have always believed the Scottish business community has huge untapped potential. 

“The work we have done in Glasgow has been a proving ground and now we are ready to broaden that influence. 

“Our goal is to embed a problem-solving, relationship focused, results-driven sales culture into businesses across every region of Scotland, from Aberdeen to the Borders, Inverness to Dumfries, and we will be saluting that ambition at our forthcoming Sales Club event at Hampden Park, Glasgow, on November 21.”

Davie added: “Expanding to cover all of Scotland is a huge milestone. 

“We are assembling a team of experienced sales professionals, mentoring them, supporting them, and enabling each new franchisee to build their own local ecosystem. 

“The franchise model works because each territory is local, and we believe Scotland is ready for the level of expertise and partnership our Geeks will provide.

“Over 200 businesses attended our Sales Club event this summer and our next on November 21, bringing together businesses from across Scotland for a full day of inspiration, workshops and connection, will serve as a powerful launchpad for the newly unified Scotland franchise.”

Founded in 2017, Sales Geek has grown into a global franchise network with operations in the UK, USA and India, becoming the world’s largest provider of part-time sales directors. 

Founder Richard Few added: “When I launched Sales Geek the aim was to make top-level sales leadership accessible to businesses of all sizes, not just mega corporations.

“Today our Geeks all over the world are delivering exceptional results in their communities. 

“On average they are helping our clients achieve 38 per cent growth in income, representing a 600 per cent return on investment. 

“Our expansion Scotland-wide is a significant step in realising our vision of a UK-wide franchise footprint, helping to support business growth the length and breadth of the country.

“I’ve watched Peter and Davie build fantastic traction in Glasgow, forging strong connections and trust with local businesses.

“Their ambition, drive and values align perfectly with our Sales Geek mission, and I have no doubt they will scale Scotland into a powerhouse territory.”
