About Me

Welcome!

I’m Sarah Beggan, an experienced outsourced Business Development Manager dedicated to helping businesses grow through effective and strategic communication, and building meaningful relationships.

With a positive and meaningful approach, I provide personalised services that are designed to boost your business’s presence, engage your customer base, and expand opportunities.

Warm Calling

I specialise in warm calling, reaching out to your existing or potential clients with a personalised, engaging approach. This service focuses on nurturing leads, maintaining strong relationships, and ensuring that your business remains at the front of their minds. Keeping in touch regularly with customers is as important as looking for new ones.

Follow-Up Calls & Emails

Timely and strategic follow-ups can make all the difference. I handle post-call or post-event follow-ups to keep your connections engaged, ensuring no opportunities are missed.

Telephone Training

I offer telephone training to improve your team’s communication skills.

Learn how to make every call more effective, whether it's for sales, support, or customer service. I can demonstrate with a smile, and prove how effective this can be.

Increasing staff’s ability to communicate effectively and not be scared of making a call or answering one is key to any business and employee's own self confidence.

Content Creation

Keeping your audience engaged with fresh, relevant content is key to business development. I can write compelling blogs which showcases your expertise, informs your customers, and boosts your online presence. Having an ongoing plan and chatting to the team is imperative to keeping your content fresh.

Using CANVA to create engaging content within social media is visually appealing and often the first thing potential clients notice. It can improve a brand's first impression, making any business appear more professional and credible.

Exhibition Stand Support

Exhibitions are key to showcasing your business. I represent your brand at exhibitions, interact with prospects, and make sure your presence stands out.

Plus, I follow up with all leads to keep the momentum going after the event with meaningful conversations and view to them remaining in your pipeline.

LinkedIn Management

LinkedIn is a powerful tool for business growth, and I can manage both your personal and business profile, acting as your brand on the platform to engage with potential clients.

Additionally, I offer LinkedIn training to help you or your team make the most of this vital networking tool.

She consistently steps up to any task with confidence and professionalism, always bringing a positive, 'can-do' attitude. Sarah takes initiative with customers and potential customers on the phone, making each customer feel valued and supported. Her proactive approach and dedication have made a noticeable impact on our team's success and our clients' satisfaction. I’m lucky to have her on board and as a ‘work wife’!"

FAQs

Here are a few questions many people ask me...

Do you give follow up support if we have sent out an email marketing campaign?

Yes, of course. I charge by the hour for this and work a minimum of 3 hours.
If you prepare 8 Linkedin Posts per month for me, how long do I need to budget for?

We would have a discussion about varied content and branded images but as an approximate guide, I’d say between 3-4 hours.
Do you charge a daily rate for exhibition stand help?

Yes, or a half day rate depending on what is involved with travel and set up.
Where are you based?

I’m based in Ashby de la Zouch but I do travel throughout the Midlands and across the country for exhibitions.
Do you do on-line Linkedin Training?

I do, but I prefer to do it face to face. I like to read body language, check for understanding and let you navigate through your own profile with my guidance.
What hours and days do you work?

I’m pretty flexible to be honest and work around timing of networking events and regular clients who like to see me visible at their premises on certain days.
What is your background/experience?

I worked through various roles at HSBC Bank becoming a Sales Coach and then Branch Manager until 2007 and then moved into an Accountancy Practice as a Business Development Manager for ten years. I set up ‘Approach’ in 2017 when I decided to ‘go it alone’!
