SHERIDAN CHAFFEY
Hi I’m Sheridan and I founded NCD 15 years ago (Gosh, was it that long ago?!) having previously worked in various Managing and Sales & Marketing Director-level roles in several major blue-chip companies.
I love helping the under dog, and when it comes to selling new products and services, they certainly face an uphill battle... which makes the challenge fun.
What's more with over 200 projects under our belt over the years, there is bound to be something we've done that will help the next project make a decent start.
KATE PENNINGTON
The one with the creative eye, and the background in Eglish literature and English language. I can help you with marketing copy.
I love the visuals and often get stuck into creating digital marketing campaigns, especially email marketing - for which we use our contact database of over 25,000 contacts.
I can also help build and maintain brand image on social media platforms. Particularly useful if you're still a fairly young company.
Act!
We are fans of a database product called Act!, and it's the reason we can do these projects!!!
It's what we use to store over 25,000 records of retail and commercial contacts. Names, job titles, previous correspondence, and a record of all our emails and phone calls.
Not to mention driving eMarketing, phone follow-ups and all opportunities.
It helps us do everything... except make the tea.
