Why this matters to clients
Jonathan knows the commercial reality of running an Irish SME: targets, cash, hiring decisions, an underperforming pipeline, pricing pressure, CRM that nobody uses, and the need to grow without adding fixed overhead.
That is what Sales Geek Ireland is built to be: practical senior sales leadership that gets stuck in, not generic consultancy.
