Open that Oyster. When you look inside it's amazing what you will find. 

Africa is the worlds fastest growing market for mobile phone service. Last year the growth exceeded 37%. "It's just a huge opportunity", says Ali Conteh, Chairman of Vodacom Congo. The World Bank estimates that sub-Saharan Africa will spend more than $3,2 billion annually over the next five years on wireless infrastructure.

SALES FORCE CREATION

Sales VPs of international companies based in Europe, USA or Asia find their roles increasingly isolated and often lonely. You are pushed for quarterly sales with no time for leadership and the selection and training of effective account executives in emerging markets. In a nutshell, as a seasoned 57 year old veteran with no ambition of his own other than to help you, I believe I can personally create the business for you. Then once established locate the reliable sales leadership through my network and train them to continue winning in these difficult yet booming countries.

BIOGRAPHY

William Hearmon  (BSc Eng, MBA, Fellow SAIEE, Pr Eng)

William has spent most of his career in the telecommunications industry, starting in Sales and Marketing with Siemens in South Africa before holding a number of senior positions.  He retired as Director of Sales for Motorola in Africa in 2004. Since then he has firmly established Dynacom with top agencies in Mobile Cellular and fixed telephone networks offering innovative software and hardware solutions which operators find appealing, inexpensive and easy to deploy.  From 1979 to 1985 he was the Managing Director and founder of Multisource Cape Pty Ltd. From 1985 until 1997 William was the sole proprietor of Dynacom which has been revived. His background over 30 years with  sales management and international account Strategising  with Siemens, Motorola, Ericsson and General Electric firmly puts him in a position to advise and consult in networking in Africa. 

VALUE PROPOSITION

If your company does not want to miss out on the good opportunities being presented to you in Africa William Hearmon is willing to take up the challenge on your behalf and spend a negotiated amount of time and energy in getting your business firmly established at a minimum of cost and risk to you.

An office with your contact numbers, address, email and physical presence will be established for you, prospects found, presented to, contracts negotiated, staff located, trained and ready for you to continue expanding when his work is done. 

80% of corporate time should be focused on addressing growth markets and 20% on the process to make it happen. Unfortunately, today the converse too often applies, with 80% being spent on internal politicking and process. The customer with needs for your products and services is overlooked and another opportunity missed. We all know that when an RFP is published the company  who assisted in writing it has already won the deal. The early bird gets the worm. 

Does your company understand the true requirements of doing business in Africa as leaders in the shrinking globe of today?
