Imagine you are riding high, publishing 34 of the world's In-flight magazines, then covid hits. Your clients are on their knees, no one is flying and your revenues have dropped from well over $100m to nearly nothing overnight. What would you do when there are no f'ing sales?
Simon Leslie is the author of a fun and fabulous sales book called "There's No F In Sales". He also happens to be the founder at Ink, the company that actually published 34 in flight magazines who saw his revenues plummet because of the pandemic. Did he roll over and die? Not a bit of it.
Simon is a survivor, a fighter and indomitable. Just because he got served a lot of rather bitter lemons in quick succession, he seized the opportunity to minimise the impact, partner more closely with his customers, and despite all the grief and many setbacks, is finishing 2020 in profit.
It hasn't been easy, and hanging on to as many of his team as he could has proven nigh on impossible, but Simon is driven by his values and loyalty. We discuss the lows and the highs, how he adapted (are you happy I didn't use the P-word??) and we explore what he's done to come out of 2020 stronger, more resilient and well placed to take advantage of what's coming in 2021 and beyond.
