Liz Jackson
Liz Jackson launched her company over six years ago in the UK with the help of the Prince of Wales Trust, where she received £1000 grant. Today, Great Guns Marketing is turning over more than £2 million and growing at a rate of forty percent per annum. Great Guns Marketing is an outbound business-to-business appointment making agency.
An Amazing Achievement...
For Liz especially, this is an amazing achievement as she is totally blind and only thirty one years of age. The year Liz started her business, she lost her sight completely. However, this didn’t stop her from pursuing her dreams. With no advanced educational background (Liz came out of school with 3 O’levels and didn’t bother pursuing her educational career any further), she truly is an inspirational figure.
Great Guns Marketing won the Customer Focused Award (part of the National Business Awards – sponsored by Orange) as being the company that best demonstrated its ability to place the customer at the heart of its business and deploy and manage its resources to most effectively meet the needs of its customer base. These prestigious awards were described by Gordon Brown as the Business Oscars.
Liz won the Women Mean Business Award that was sponsored by T-Mobile and the Sunday Express – Britain’s biggest award dedicated to women running their own businesses. The award is designed to recognize the growing importance of independent businesswoman to both the economy and the community. Liz took away with her a big cheque of £10,000 and £3,000 worth of telecommunications equipment all from T-Mobile. It was a fabulous evening where Prince Charles even sent Liz a message to express his congratulations!
Corporate Speaker
Liz has been speaking at a variety of functions with the likes of Sir John Harvey Jones, John Humphreys, and Lucy Dimes from BT. She enjoys speaking on topics such as Entrepreneurship, Motivation, Innovation, Women in Business, Telemarketing: How to sell over the phone, and Communication.
