Founder and Lead Consultant Clare O’Shea
Clare O’Shea is the founder and Lead Consultant at Marlow Sales Academy, and has more than 20 years in sales, consultancy and training.
As the Head of the Sales Community, Clare was responsible for all training and development, role descriptions & competencies, and career progression paths for pre-sales, sales, account managers, bid managers and client directors.
Clare has been at the forefront of Sales Qualifications in the UK since designing and delivering the first accredited programmes in 1998, with the first Institute of Sales Professionals (the ISP).
After a Law degree at Oxford University, Clare joined ICL as a Graduate Trainee where she quickly progressed into sales and account management. She later set up her own consumables business before moving into Training.
Clare is a committee member of the Sales Performance Association (SPA), a Member of the CIM and Fellow of ISM.
Clare has a dynamic and engaging style, which is challenging and generates positive energy as well as pragmatic calls to actions. She lives in Marlow, is a keen walker and water skier, and loves going to the theatre and coffee shops.
Valuable support
Whilst studying for the Postgraduate Diploma at the CIM, Clare’s combination of academic knowledge and practical hands on experience is a rarity. This, with a wicked sense of humour, gives Clare an unquestionable ability to teach.
Dynamic and interesting
Clare’s knowledge of sales in different organisations and philosophy behind sales is excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Clare to those looking to develop their sales acumen, regardless of how long they have been in sales.
