Websites: ultimate sales tool
I’ve never been good at selling myself. Don’t necessarily enjoy bragging (which, let’s face it, is essential in sales). Prefer writing over talking.
So company websites have always been my go-to, both as an employee, business owner, and a potential customer:
- Interested in a product or service? I’ll go to Google, look at company websites to do my research and possibly even my shopping or outreach.
- Running a company? Websites can offload a lot of the sales process, and keeps your content in one place, showing you from your best, polished angle.
Whether we like to admit it or not, websites play an essential role in most B2B and B2C relationships.
Background
I completed a BA in Graphic Design in 2019, obtained from Noroff Education in Norway and Teesside University in England. Shortly after, I moved to Manchester to join the marketing team at a finance company for the next 4.5 years, and would eventually manage a whole design team.
It was at this company that I taught myself to code, no longer needing to rely on external developers to build and manage our many websites. As such, I became the link between the marketing, IT and sales departments, managing everything from content, to design and development, AB testing and maintenance.
Personal
My accent is the result of growing up in Norway, spending a year in Australia, and finally living in the UK since 2018, where I later met my Swedish partner.
True to my roots, I enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors – and once spent a week alone in the Norwegian mountains. But at the moment, baking is probably my biggest hobby.
I also enjoy painting and other creative projects, swimming, going to concerts, and absorbing podcasts and books.
In the mornings you’ll find me stretching and doing deep breathing exercises. And every now and then, you’ll even find me at a sound bath or other meditative events.
