KVDB - Opening Doors Consultancy

My History: Actor and Presenter, Sales Trainer and Channel Manager, Field Sales and Event Management

Born with a speech impediment, (I know what it is like when words fail you!), but with a lot of help and determination I got my first gig at the age of 8 starring in a TV advert for Heinz Baked Beans.

I supported myself as an actor by working as a Make Up Artist, Sales Trainer, and Event Manager. This gives me a unique offering where I look past what you are going to say on camera.

Whilst in manufacturing channel sales, I worked with my clients and their customers to win large scale projects. I learned how to coordinate and work with people building a harmonious relationship with everyone involved.

During my tenure in Channel Sales, I was the go-to person between the internal and external product and marketing teams ensuring the go-to-market message was consistent, on brand and on message.

The culmination of my qualifications, experience and skills has led to the foundation of KVDB in 2020, my consultancy and coaching agency that is effective in increasing an organisations marketing efforts.

I merged my experience on camera and video production, with the skills of presentation and clarity of expression and years of sales and marketing into one package that can be tailored to my client’s needs.

My no-nonsense approach to communication has supported clients who work in recruitment, security, shipping, environmental services, education as well as drama students, business coaches and entrepreneurs.

All my clients have one thing in common, they want to speak confidently during a webinar, live interview, as part of a video marketing campaign and on social media.

My mission is to bring together your sales, marketing and social media teams and create content that converts.

My Loves: My Family, my podcast ‘The Wise Why’ and my life

“The Wise Why” is a collection of weekly, unedited live interviews of inspirational men and women, packed full of real life and true motivation.

My passions outside my business is my family and the simple things that go with being a wife and mother like: baking fresh bread and making jam from the fruits from my garden and allotment (I always plant extra to make sure the hungry caterpillar 🐛 can eat his share).

I enjoy volunteering my time speaking at women’s conventions and forums, empowering women in business. In March 2022 I won the Theo Paphitis Small Business Sunday Award.
