About Jamie<\/h3>\nAbout Jamie<\/h3>\nHi, I\u2019m Jamie, and I\u2019m the Sales Development Representative (SDR) Manager at Microlise. I joined six months ago, and I can genuinely say I\u2019ve loved every minute.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve had a unique career journey that led me to where I am today. From a young age, I was intelligent and personable but often distracted and disinterested in subjects that didn\u2019t capture my attention \u2014 something that later made more sense following a diagnosis of ADHD. What I did know early on, however, was that I thrived in conversations and loved connecting with people.<\/p>\n
At 19, I landed my first sales job at Phones4U. When I found out I could earn commission, I was all in \u2014 I made \u00a31,000 in my first month, and that\u2019s when I truly got the sales bug.<\/p>\n
Over the years, I worked across different sectors and companies \u2013 from contact centres to brands like WorldPay, GoDaddy, and Adzooma. These experiences helped me build both sales skills and leadership capabilities through team management.<\/p>\n
After taking a year-long break to reset and refocus, I was ready for the next big step in my career. That\u2019s when I came across the opportunity at Microlise. When I researched the company, I saw a Nottingham-based business with strong values and an exciting role on offer \u2014 so I applied immediately.<\/p>\n
From my very first conversation with the Head of Marketing, I felt energised. He was down-to-earth, relatable, and genuinely inspiring. That initial connection made me want the job even more.<\/p>\n
The interview process was smooth and well-structured. I spent a lot of time preparing for my presentation because I was determined to make an impression. I also met the Head of Account Management and, later, the Chief Revenue Officer during a values interview. Each conversation made me more confident that Microlise was where I wanted to be.<\/p>\n
My first day at Microlise set the tone. I was welcomed warmly by my manager, my team, and another new starter who joined the same day. It just felt like a natural fit from the beginning.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no \u201ctypical day\u201d in my role. Some days are structured \u2014 working on Salesforce processes, optimising cadence, and refining lead tracking. Other days are collaborative \u2014 building scripts with the team, running coaching sessions, and removing blockers so my SDRs can thrive.<\/p>\n
My goal is simple: to build a strong foundation that empowers the team to do their best work and drive customer growth for the business.<\/p>\n
The Go-To-Market event at The Belfry was a fantastic experience. The content was engaging, the guest speaker was inspiring, and even with ADHD, I was fully immersed throughout \u2014 a real testament to the quality of the event.<\/p>\n The Microlise Transport Conference has been another major highlight. During my first week, I had the opportunity to attend a taster evening at Coventry Arena, which gave me an early glimpse into the scale of the event. Later on, I attended the black-tie evening itself, which felt surreal. Seeing the level of planning and execution that goes into making the conference a success gave me a whole new level of respect for the company.<\/p>\n The Marketing team is, without a doubt, my ultimate highlight. I genuinely look forward to coming into work. The culture is positive, collaborative, and full of energy. Seeing my team thrive, hitting our targets ahead of schedule, and hearing their positive feedback makes it all worth it.<\/p>\n Microlise is a place where people stay and grow. The fact that many of our colleagues have been here 10+ years speaks volumes. It\u2019s a complex, rewarding industry with exciting products and an environment that supports long-term careers.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a role where you can make an impact, grow with a supportive team, and genuinely enjoy what you do \u2014 Microlise could be the place for you.<\/p>\n About Jamie Hi, I\u2019m Jamie, and I\u2019m the Sales Development Representative (SDR) Manager at Microlise.
