Joe started as a clerk in what was then Post Office Telecommunications, which was a job he hated, he was a keen Rugby League player and this was his love, he played for Bradford Northern, Bramley and Batley as well as several other amateur sides.
He moved into selling in the seventies and his career started to blossom, he had found something he enjoyed and was good at it.
Over the years Joe won many awards for his selling and management skills and also he won some major contracts which he was also recognised for.
He found that his education or lack of it did not stop him, he could learn techniques and skills that directly helped him to be successful and by applying those consistently, he was successful more often than not.
When asked now what worked for him, he would say "preparation, practice and the desire to be the best I can be".
He is still applying the same tools and techniques which he has learnt and developed over a career covering more than 30 years.vizualizați mai puține
