About us.

    Homer Road, Solihull

    Our journey to where we are today.

    sales-i was established back in 2008, and we have since grown into a worldwide company.

    We blossomed from a simple idea from two salespeople, our co-founders Paul Black and Kevin McGirl. A few years later we now have a dozen or so award wins, thousands of loyal customers, and a skilled team that is truly second to none.

    The aim of what we do is the same today as it was back in 2008; to help salespeople in the manufacturing, wholesale and distribution sectors sell smart, every day. Our technology continues to evolve, meeting the needs of our customers with our roadmap of development continuing to add even more benefits for users.
