Steve Clarke
Steve Clarke is one of the country’s leading experts on grassroots sales and marketing strategies. Not a theorist or a guru, but a doer.
Entrepreneur, Author, Motivational Speaker & Sales Mentor
Having left school at 16 with no qualifications, at 18 Steve became engrossed in the power of personal development and goal setting. At 19, with a fresh attitude and determination to succeed, he found his niche in sales. Shortly thereafter he was invited to become a director of his first company. Since then he has owned and operated business in the UK and USA, taking them from start up to stock market floatation. Steve helped grow his last UK business from scratch to £30 million in revenues in just 8 years, becoming one of the “Times Top 100″ fastest growing and profitable SME’s in the country in the process. In 2005 the company was sold and he was able to retire at the age of 45.
Now he spends much of his time working with Business Owners and entrepreneurs wanting to achieve growth and success through improved sales and marketing. Numerous business owners can point directly to Steve’s low cost or even no cost strategies, which once implemented have delivered incredible results and quickly too.
Steve is very proud to be a member of an elite team of business mentors chosen by The Entrepreneurs’ Business Academy (the EBA) which James Caan from BBC TV’s Dragon’s Den spearheads with Founder, Bev James. The EBA works with business owners and entrepreneurs to fast-track and ramp up their personal and business effectiveness.
Steve is also a business columnist and author of “How To Thrive Not Just Survive”, in which he shares his simple proven formula for business success.
Steve willingly has shares his knowledge in the hope that he will inspire others to achieve their goals and aspirations and as such is in popular demand as a keynote motivational speaker internationally: charismatic, straight-talking, with a wealth of business savvy and a list of successes behind him, Steve provides an excellent point of focus for any business function, resulting in a punchy, often humorous and poignant experience for all involved. Steve draws upon his years of business experience coupled with amusing personal anecdotes to entertain and educate with relevant subject matter that audiences can easily relate to and appreciate.
