Emma Alkirwi

Emma had spent over fifteen years working in the recruitment and the welfare to work industry. During that time she noted, how many people found it uncomfortable to write about themselves or their business. That hurdle was holding them back from getting their dream job or attracting sales leads. Coming from an industry that was stereotypically spent on the phone hard selling, she sought to change the mindset towards sales. Using the power of LinkedIn she is driven to show people that sharing knowledge and networking online is a simple way to attract sales & talent opportunities.
