Adrian is regarded by many as one of Europe's leading authorities on sales motivation, he is without doubt one of its most exciting speakers!

The son of a Yorkshire coal miner, he started off his colourful career as a Police Officer in St Pauls, Bristol, leaving shortly after the St Paul's riots to go 'back to school' and to be President of Southampton Students Drama

Fed up with being a poor student, he spent the next four years building up a highly successful dairy company from nothing by knocking on thousands of doors persuading families to buy his milk! Having established the dairy business he went to the USA on holiday but soon found himself working as a D.J and Lifeguard. On his return to the UK he worked as a radio presenter on local radio in Bristol.

To help 'fund' his career, Adrian started selling a wide range of products, ranging from frozen food to houses, he quickly discovered he could make some real money in sales and began to take selling seriously, the part time sales side soon took over as his full time career.

In 1987 he moved into I.T sales and by 1989 he had established himself as one of the most successful sales professionals in the industry.

After two extremely successful years as Corporate Sales Manager of US Robotics, he joined Northamber Plc an I.T Distributor as Group Sales and Training Manager responsible over a five year period for successfully recruiting, training, motivating and 'driving' 150 sales staff to achieve phenomenal success.

It was during this time that Adrian discovered his exceptional ability to inspire others and to build and develop teams from people of little or no ability or experience into some of the most productive in the I.T industry.

Fuelled by a desire to try to gain a better understanding of what makes certain people outrageously successful, he set about interviewing and researching some of the UK's most successful people, ranging from business leaders and professional sports people to show business celebrities.

This six years of research, combined with his colourful career and varied experiences, forms the basis of his fascinating and eye opening material.

Adrian shares with the audience his ideas on the characters that he has identified in most teams, companies and organisations. They include amongst others: Neg Ferrets, Bloaters, Sinkers, Jaffa Gaffas and Polar Bear Pirates, all of which most people will easily recognise!

Today, as well as being a professional speaker, Adrian works as a consultant devising and implementing team building and motivational performance programmes for both sales and non sales environments. He also works with a select number of private business and sports clients as a personal development coach.

In his spare time, over the past few years, he has played several small roles in television and radio. He has also recently started writing parts for television and has done the odd TV 'warm up man bit' when his arm has been really twisted!

Adrian Webster brings to life a group of audacious characters called Polar Bear Pirates who do battle with obstacles of the likes of Sinkers, Neg Ferrets and BLOATERS along the road to success. And just what is at the end of the road? Well it's Fat City. It's where the winners want to be.

You'll immediately relate to the animated characters, viruses and terminology throughout the book, whether categorising yourself or your colleagues and friends.

Testimonials

Lever Faberge - The brief for a “motivational speaker” was more than fulfilled as Adrian’s energy, humour and superb insight into the real world of sales had everybody mesmerised and entertained from the moment he walked onto the stage. Life hasn't been quite the same since as we all now aspire to permanently residing in Fat City and living as Polar Bear Pirates!

St James Group - Adrian was absolutely fantastic last Friday at our Seminar. It's not easy to win the hearts and minds of a room full of people in the building industry. Many come having already decided they would rather be somewhere else, or that this sort of thing is for office staff only, etc., but Adrian won them over hook, line and sinker! He talks in a language that everybody can relate to. Adrian is highly entertaining but much more, he has the ability to make you think.

Bodylife UK Ltd - We have worked with many of the country’s leading keynote speakers over the years and they have all been good, but in many ways Adrian surpassed them all.

BT PLC - Adrian was fantastic! A style which I have never seen used so effectively. He had us in hoots but could change within minutes to deliver a very serious message with such feeling and power. Without a doubt the guy had everyone in the room hanging on every word for the full speech. Added to that, he was such enjoyable company.

Mark Hussein - HSBC Head of Insurance and Investments (Commercial) - We started the year in last place. We took on board the Polar Bear Pirates concept, used it daily to motivate ourselves/the team and to ensure that we stayed focused. By June we were up to second and come year-end, we finished number one. It had a huge impact on our performance.
