About Gary Perkins

Having worked for 15 years in a variety of Sales and & Marketing positions for a number of blue chip companies, Gary moved full time into the word of IT sales and marketing software in 1996.
His first role was with GoldMine CRM software. This involved developing their distribution channel of CRM new resellers and meant, from the outset, existing CRM competitor resellers were targeted and time was invested in understanding competitor CRM functionality and brand positioning.

In 1998, Gary established his own CRM consultancy “Marketing Answers and Solutions” seeing that CRM was at the heart of a range of sales and marketing technology solutions. Initially offering GoldMine, but beginning in 2004 the CRM portfolio expanded first with SAGE CRM, then ACT!, MS CRM 2011, Workbooks and Nimble. Gary was heavily involved with Sales Logix from 1999 onwards.

Since then, Gary has acquired a wealth of knowledge of the CRM industry on a variety of products, such that he can claim in-depth experience and knowledge of over 17 CRM products and countless add-ons.
