Attract and close new business with Top Sales Mentors

Hi - my name's Velly, and I'm the founder of this platform. I think the best way to grow is to get involved in conversations about how others make decisions about their businesses, lives, and choices. It's about hearing from other people who have made smart growth decisions based on results instead of dreams or desires. This is where I come in.

I'm the Chief Risk Officer and a founding member at Tsa Afrika Resources & Projects, a Pan-African risk assurance firm. With 20 years in corporate investment banking, I specialize in ICT, Product, and Financial Services, while my main focus is on technology, digitization services, and risk assurance across corporate, public, and medium enterprises.

As a seasoned mentor, I have a track record of achievement and recognition in the entrepreneurship and startup ecosystem, including Finalist 2022 & 23 for Startup Mentor of the Year. With 23 years of entrepreneurial experience, I offer a unique, human-centred perspective on leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship. I see myself as a partner in your success, walking through challenging situations with you.

Most business leaders over-complicate their marketing not realising that success in marketing is understanding how to position the right product in front of the right customers and communicating the benefits in an engaging way. “I believe that marketing should be a simple, repeatable process that drives a positive return for the company.”

I'm Daminda Senekal-Griessel, an author and marketing expert with two decades of professional experience.

I'm a marketing enabler, coach and content creator. I started my own RedMatchstick consulting business after 25 years in executive marketing positions in the hotel industry in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique. With a passion for teaching, a Psychology degree and post-grad marketing at Wits Business School, I bring unique insights from my +30 years of expertise and knowledge to approach marketing with simple but effective strategies.

I am driven by my passion for small business as an economic and social solution. I am particularly passionate about the emerging “Township Economy” as an economic powerhouse. My experience in business spans over some 40 years across 34 countries, with some 20 years specifically in the SMME and entrepreneurial space.

I am a social entrepreneur, business coach and management consultant who holds an MBA in strategic planning and a Doctorate of Business Leadership specializing in entrepreneurship development. I have more than 20-years’ experience as an entrepreneur and more than 10-years as an entrepreneurship support practitioner, with a particular focus on training, coaching, and supporting high-propensity entrepreneurs.

I have spent nearly a decade assisting clients in expanding their businesses, organizations, and careers by leveraging the five core principles of success in the realms of business, leadership, and career development. With my experience, I provide mentorship to help you excel in your personal and professional journey. I've guided diverse individuals to success by honing skills, focusing on goals, and breaking through obstacles. Let's achieve your full potential together.
