GENERAL: VML: VMob extends sales efforts to a truly global market
For immediate release:
VMob extends sales efforts to a truly global market
With the addition of some key accounts across Europe including McDonalds and
Exxon, VMob (VML-NZX) has been experiencing strong customer growth in the
last 12 months. Looking forward, the company is working to capitalise on that
momentum, putting additional staff on the ground in several key markets.
"We've proven the software, we know it works, we know we can generate truly
outstanding results for our clients and deliver significant ROI in a very
short time. Now we need to take that story out to more clients."
Effectively extending sales teams across the globe is a challenging step that
many New Zealand businesses have struggled with. Fortunately, it's a
challenge that VMob founder and CEO Scott Bradley and many of the company's
executive members know well. Armed with the experience of successfully
growing businesses on a global scale, VMob have initially worked remotely and
travelled to be on the ground in their European and APAC markets. Now,
knowing the market has been proven in these areas with strong initial sales
they are making a significant commitment to boost that growth.
"We have some huge advantages in building a business based in New Zealand -
we've built a strong leadership team, development and customer support based
here. However, you must never underestimate the importance of feet on the
ground and experience in overseas markets when running an export business"
The company extended its APAC operation last year with the opening of a new
Singapore office. Now continuing its growth plan in the region, they have
appointed Jim Castles as the Australian National Sales Manger.
Based in Sydney, Castles comes to VMob with over 15 years experience in sales
within the media and advertising industry in Australia. His extensive network
within the industry around Australia is already helping VMob make new
connections with key prospects in the region.
Recognising the opportunity in the European market, VMob will also soon be
opening a London based office. Heading up the European operation out of the
London office will be newly appointed UK Business Development Manager, Ben
Damshenas.
Damshenas has had over 10 years of sales experience in the UK, specialising
in the digital industry. His consultative sales approach means that he has
built strong relationships within the UK and makes him very adept at selling
innovative solutions like VMob to any level across multiple verticals.
