About Jo

Real commercial experience.
No waffle.

I’ve spent over 40 years working in sales, including 19 years running and growing a UK manufacturing business as Managing Director, part owner and Sales Director rolled into one.

I now work alongside founder-led and family-run businesses through Go To Jo — and I love getting in front of a room of business owners and challenging how they think about sales, the opportunities they’re missing and the things we all do to convince ourselves we’re being productive when we’re actually avoiding selling!

I bring real commercial experience, stories, humour and practical takeaways. Nothing polished to the point of being pointless — just honest, straight-talking content that people can actually use.

My Talks

What Jo speaks about

01

Someone Has To Be Selling

A straight-talking look at why so many business owners are busy doing everything except selling.

We explore sales faff, who’s actually responsible for bringing money into the business, why opportunities aren’t moving and the importance of follow-up and tracking.

02

The Money Is Already in the Room

Before businesses go looking for more leads, more people or more expense, what money could already be sitting in the opportunities and relationships they have?

This talk challenges people to look at existing customers, conversations, enquiries, quotes and follow-ups that could be producing more business.
