The Team

Matt Earle

Associate Sales Director

How does Sales Plus Profit help companies achieve outstanding results? Determination, dedication and focus. At least that’s how Matt Earle does it, combining 20 years of sales, marketing and business development experience with unflagging energy and commitment. Every business deserves high-level sales leadership; Matt provides the flexible guidance and support clients need to grow their organisations to the next level.

As an Associate Sales Director, Matt’s goal is to help businesses achieve their vision and full potential. And in the process, he eliminates any negative thinking or self-defeating obstacles that get in the way of results. It has always worked for him, and he passionately believes it will work for his clients.

Matt brings a wealth of technological experience to the Sales Plus Profit community. He has worked with some of the industry’s leading organisations, including IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, EMC, NetApp, Sun Microsystems, Compel, Morse Group, Logicalis, and Avnet Technology Solutions, developing top sales teams and profitable business units.

As a high-level executive, Matt honed skills in:

  • Strategic planning and goal setting.
  • Leveraging strategic alliances and partnerships.
  • Sales and pipeline management.
  • Channel enablement and development.
  • Building and leading teams.
  • System implementation and process improvement.

Perhaps Matt’s most valuable skill, however, is the ability to transfer his knowledge to companies and enable them to grow. With results like this, that’s no small feat: In 2007, Matt developed a new NetApp Business unit for one of the world’s largest technology distributors, Avnet. He assembled and coached a world-class sales team – and built the unit from scratch to over £16 million in three years.

Fresh from his accomplishment, Matt founded Thinkbox. The consulting firm supports startups to multi-million pound companies in building motivated teams, increasing sales and maximising profits.

In just over a year, Matt helped a technology company increase their gross profit by 43% to £2.5m and build a qualified pipeline of over £5m. How did he do it? By improving their sales process, accountability, conversion rates and lead generation strategies. And, of course sheer determination and commitment to achieving their goals.

As an integral member of the Sales Plus Profit team, Matt provides proven processes, sophisticated insights and boundless enthusiasm to help clients achieve their full potential.

When he’s not working… Matt lives in Fleet Hampshire with his partner, Katie, and two children, Daisy and William. If he’s not working, reading, or spending time with his family, he’s on the golf course, trying to lower his handicap or on the tennis court thinking he’s the next Andy Murray!
