Seven years ago, Richard Few took his first steps from a back bedroom office to a small business unit.
Today, his company, Sales Geek, boasts over 30 franchises in the UK and an expanding international presence.
The Humble Beginning
Starting in his family back bedroom, Richard Few dreamt of creating a significant impact in the business world.
His vision materialised quickly, leading him to a small unit at Halls Arms Business Park just six months later.
The First Leap
Richard’s move to the business unit required a leap of faith and a significant financial commitment.
The £300 monthly rent placed a burden on family finances, but it was a risk worth taking with the support of his wife and family.
Revolutionising Sales
Richard believed that sales should not be a ‘dirty word.’
He established Sales Geek to introduce a new attitude to sales, focusing on integrity and connecting customers with the right products and services.
This unique approach quickly gained traction, pushing the initial home office to its limits.
Growth and Expansion
In just seven years, Richard went from a lone ‘Geek’ to overseeing an expanding network of Sales Geeks.
The franchise model has been instrumental in helping hundreds of businesses thrive, creating job opportunities and benefiting local communities.
Staying True to Roots
Despite its growth, Sales Geek’s headquarters remains in Blackburn, reflecting Richard’s commitment to his origins.
Each Sales Geek hub is designed to be at the heart of its community, staying true to Richard’s original vision.
Inspiring the Future
Richard hopes his journey inspires other entrepreneurs to follow their passions.
He believes that successful businesses can incorporate a sense of fun and community involvement.
