About us

Mysalesguru.com.au is a web based Professional Sales and Marketing initiative by Michael Lang and Wayne Gerard of Strategic Growth Partners www.sgpartners.com.au

We know many people struggle with negative images of selling or being branded as a sales person.  In addition most managers who haven’t held a sales role don’t really understand “sales people” and find them challenging to manage.
 
Sales people are not born, they are self taught people who enjoy interacting with others and providing solutions to people’s needs. Great sales people continually seek new information about their profession by reading, observing, attending seminars, workshops and courses.

We believe sales people are professionals and the field of selling is a multi faced career path requiring rich skills and talents.  Sales people need to build and maintain a detailed understanding of their products, services, pricing, business capacity, markets, competitors and their customers businesses, people, processes, and markets to name just a few areas.  A career in selling requires not only great skills, talent and knowledge; it also requires a serious amount of personal motivation and energy. There are not many other careers that require people to constantly deal with rejection, for most sales people, selling is often a numbers game.

Michael and Wayne created mysalesguru.com.au for you, both the sale people and managers of sales people.  Having personally spent the majority of their careers in sales, business development, sales management, sales consultancy and leadership roles both nationally and internationally, Michael and Wayne bring numerous skills, experience and perspective to mysalesguru.com.au.

Corporate Social Responsibility – How SGP is making a difference

Michael, Wayne and the SGP / mysalesguru.com.au team are grateful for the opportunities that abound our business.

We know we are in a fortunate position to create our own luck. We are also well aware that many others aren’t and that many organisations and individuals could make a huge difference with our support.

Each year we select a couple of charities / organisations to support. We look for opportunities to share both our time and our resources on projects which we hope will create a sustainable difference both locally and globally.  In many ways the support we provide is an extension of our passion for helping people perform at their best more often.

In 2009 we have entered into a partnership with Opportunity International.

Opportunity International is a global leader of microfinance and enterprise development.

Their mission is to provide opportunities for people in poverty to transform their lives.

Opportunity International’s strategy is to help millions of poor people make their way out of poverty permanently by assisting them with business advice and financial support to develop sustainable micro businesses in under developed communities.

As of September 2008, Opportunity had 1,035,744 active clients globally and a loan portfolio of A$679.3 million.

We selected to enter into a partnership with Opportunity International because we believe it is better to teach a person to fish than to buy them one meal.

For over 35 years Opportunity International has been pioneering innovative and creative ways to help some of the poorest families and their communities sustainably transform their lives by building the lasting skills and businesses that create opportunities for many.
