About Shane Smith

Cycling is my sport where I did pretty well at a young age. I had a bit of natural ability and success winning a total of 14 National Titles. I served my trade as a Tool & Die Maker for AG Healings Cycle Manufacturing Company from 1980 - 1984. I then spent 4 years in the USA working in my trade for the likes of Abbot Laboratories, Component Research and Hollywood Engineering. During this time I also fitted in a couple of years teaching skiing and promoting bands. Returning home I decided to learn about the technical sales process by entering the photocopier market. I thrived and succeeded in this market for 7 years. Then came: Children and launching and running my own business for a number of years. My Engineering background ranges from precision machining, designing and building jigs & fixtures for manufacturing, precision fitting, industrial maintenance, fabrication, project management and design. I do like to win and I get things done however I also like to balance this out by keeping things real with humour. I am skilled in technical writing, drawing, marketing and presentation. Aside from engineering I am proficient with IT technology and CRM processes with the best mobile apps. I am passionately creative, I love to write and help businesses grow. I am skilled in sales training and management of staff. Tips: Keep up to date! If you are standing still in a rapidly changing market: Then you are moving backwards. Advice for salespeople: Play the numbers game, get in front of your customers so you can be in front of your competition, ask a lot of questions and use that CRM.
