If you have a failing sales team ensure you call Matt Jefferson at Jefferson Sales without delay. I found myself in this unhappy position at the beginning of 2016. After our initial meeting Matt and I got stuck in right way and achieved great things. Having taken control of the sales management role Matt and the sales team realised a significant up-turn in sales. Matt was also instrumental in winning new business for the company. Matt is an extremely hard working professional and I have absolutely no hesitation in my recommendation of him. Stephen Parma.
