Michael Smyth (Legal Expert) - Click Here To Read Michael's Articles Six years old sounds a peculiar time to start to legal career, but that's the first memory I have of going to my Dad's law firm located in the heart of legal London. So, with law running in the family, the natural choice at University was a law degree. I also had a keen interest in Sports Law and obtained a Post Graduate Certificate in the subject from Kings College London. I came to New Zealand for a year, but like a lot of people I quite liked the place, and I'm still here practising law as a self employed barrister and running three businesses: Approachable Lawyer, Sportscounsel and The Sports Risk Management Group (the last two even allow me to combine my passion for law with my passion for sport). So in my 11 or so years of practice I have read numerous cases, helped many clients out of the mire and set up a number of businesses. That means not only am I a lawyer with an expertise in employment and sport, but I am also a businessman. This gives me a good insight into a number of problems my clients face.

Kate Lister (Home-Based-Business Expert) - Click Here To Read Kate's Articles I started out in banking and spent six years as a commercial lender with two of the nation’s largest banks. Pantyhose convinced me to start my own home-based consulting business. But even running my own business I was still wearing them. So after 8 more years a former Navy flyer convinced me to trade my business suit for a flight suit and we bought a biplane for air tours. Over the next 16 years we became the oldest and largest barnstorming business in the country. Along the way we wrote two books: Finding Money--The Small Business Guide To Financing and The Directory of Venture Capital, both published by John Wiley & Sons. Surprisingly, both the writing and the flying we did mostly from home in our underwear, thanks to 25 eager (and fully dressed) pilots who replaced us in the air as the company grew.

James Gracey (Sales Expert) - Click Here To Read James's Articles I started my selling career as a sales assistant in my fathers' toy shop at the age of 15. It was there that I was first exposed to the relationship between emotion, buying and selling. In my 25 year sales career it has always struck me as strange that the profession of selling had no best practice process that governed selling activity. All other professions have disciplines and codes of conduct that qualify individuals to practice that profession. The daily activities of salespeople though, tend to be unstructured and opportunistic. In the 1990’s I started researching the relationship between professional sales activity and the emotional interaction between buyer and seller. I then applied the IT process control experience I have. The result is a framework (PPSS methodology) that brings together: > A sales process (industry and product agnostic) that manages the progress of sales opportunities. > Mapped to the process – Professional sales behavior and activities. > Models that will align selling skills of the corporate sales force to business process and corporate strategy.
