Managing Director, 360 Sales Solutions Ltd

IFSDG:  How long have you worked in 360 Sales Solutions? 

Marc:  I founded 360 Sales Solutions in June this year  

IFSDG:  How many people work at 360 Sales Solutions? 

Marc:  At present we have four employees and are recruiting five more before the end of the year.

IFSDG:  What is the vision for 360 Sales Solutions in Glasgow?   

Marc:  The vision is to be the go-to trusted resource for IT, Software and Financial technology organisations, when they need assistance with their sales and revenue generation streams.  

360 Sales solutions is very different to traditional outsourced sales organisations.   Our highly skilled staff are trained in sales methodologies and we work on a consultative basis, alongside existing sales teams, to maximise sales revenues.

IFSDG:  What's a typical day for you? 

Marc:  Managing the team and recruiting takes up a lot of my day.  I'm also working hard on speaking to as many interested companies, as well as getting our name known in the marketplace. I see us still being at start-up stage so no two days are the same! 

IFSDG:  Why did 360 Sales Solutions choose to locate in the IFSD in Glasgow? 

Marc:  When I decided to launch the business I looked at Glasgow and London. Glasgow won!  The IFSD offers the perfect location, transport links and to see the regeneration of the area is amazing after so many years away from the city.  

IFSDG:  Three good things about working in Glasgow? 

Marc:  The people, being home and the excellent transport links for staff and clients alike.

IFSDG:  What is your biggest business achievement to date? 

Marc:  Launching the company and seeing it grow so rapidly is something I am very proud of.

IFSDG:  What is the best investment you ever made? 

Marc:  So far, 360 Sales Solutions is proving to be the best investment. 

IFSDG:  Which businessperson or company do you most admire and why? 

Marc:  I would not say there is one individual. Organisations are all about teamwork. I love to see successful teams. However, having had the pleasure of meeting Michael Dell and Larry Ellison, you can instantly tell why these guys are successful. 

IFSDG:  What did you want to be when you were a child? 

Marc:  An engineer 

IFSDG:  What do you do to relax away from the office? 

Marc:  Travel and cooking are my two biggest passions outside work 

IFSDG:  I-Phone or Android? 

Marc:  Android 

IFSDG:  Favourite band? 

Marc:  Oasis 

IFSDG:  Favourite sport?
