Hello, my name is Graeme Davey and I thank you for taking the time to visit my web site.

GraemeDavey.com.au is taking bit of a rest at the moment, you could take the time to visit my favourite place, gwhizz.com.au a web site that I built not only to see if I could  do it but also to pay some respect to the surprisingly egalitarian pass time of sailing, it has now become bit of a learning platform for me to keep up to date with this media as well as becoming a resourceful blog for like minded people.

The photos below have nothing to do with me apart from the fact that I find them pleasing and that either I took the photo or I was involved in the photo (Salty Dingo Photography took the photo at Port Stephens, I’m steering the yacht behind the spray).

I like to describe myself as a Marketing and Sales Professional with a Practical bent.

In Marketing and Sales I have a very simple philosophy:
~ When marketing a product understand the mind set of the group of people you are marketing to.
~ When selling something demonstrate how your product will satisfy the wants, needs and/or desires of your customer.
~ When dealing with the market understand that the loudest voice may not be the biggest voice.

I like to think that I can turn my hand to a number of things:
~  From coordinating the development of marketing campaign for a major brand – to – selling a can of soft drink at a local footy match.
~  From managing a team of people – to – picking up trash on clean up Australia day.
~  From changing a spark plug in a motorcar – to – changing a hard drive in a computer.
~  From sailing a yacht across the Tasman Sea – to – reverse parallel parking a motor car.
~  For those that can remember I still claim to be able to program a VCR without the user manual. Which brings back memories of the marketing battle between VHS and Beta, quite another story but full of lessons for a number of disciplines.
