When businesses are on the verge of growth but lack the resources to ascend further, Sales Plus Profits steps in with high-level sales leadership. Instead of delivering pre-packaged ‘solutions,’ our Associate Sales Directors work closely with owners and leaders to provide customised guidance and support. To put it colloquially, they roll up their sleeves and get to it. Colin Gallick leverages over 30 years of hands-on sales, marketing, management and leadership experience to help clients keep climbing.

Throughout his career, Colin guided startup, growth-stage and struggling organisations. He understands the obstacles leaders face at all stages – and has the insights and tools they need to overcome them.

A trailblazer at heart, Colin:

• Became the first Sales Director for Compaq Computer Ltd.
Founded Help Desk Vendor, Utopia Technology. Colin was the main board director and oversaw a successful sale to Royal Blue PLC in 1997.
• Joined Witness Systems Inc., the leader in Call Centre Quality Monitoring systems, and built the international business from the ground up. This new function accounted for 40% of the company’s revenue.
• Executed Witness Systems’ successful NASDAQ IPO in 2000 – and created over 30 millionaires in the process.
• Founded and invested in GuardedNet Inc., the Security Information Management vendor. Colin established operations in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and went on to serve as CEO until GuardedNet was sold to Micromuse, Inc. (later acquired by IBM) in 2005.

• Has raised over $50 million in venture capital.

In 2009, Colin leveraged his experience and intrepid nature to revive the ailing Invu. The electronic document management (eDM) vendor was almost fatally wounded by debt. As the newly-installed CEO, Colin worked tirelessly to completely restructure the company, develop a clear go-to-market strategy, create a coherent product strategy, match cost base with revenue, overhaul workflow processes and recruit an effective executive management team.

Colin transformed the business that had lost £8.5million the previous year and which was hemorrhaging cash into one that has a 15 percent+ EBIT (Earnings Before Interest& Tax), healthy cash flow and strong growth – all without any investment capital.

Colin’s strengths go beyond the ability to innovate and implement effective strategies for growth and change; he is deeply committed to helping others reach their goals. He serves on the advisory board for software companies in the UK and US, mentors business owners, and belongs to the Worshipful.

As a member of the Sales Plus Profits team, Colin combines his growth and turnaround expertise with a keen ability to guide and support business owners. This empowers them to overcome challenges and achieve their growth goals.

When he’s not working… Colin enjoys spending time with his three children, as well as getting outdoors – in all seasons. He is an avid skier, runner, cyclist and sailor. When he’s not on the slopes or seas, he plays guitar.
