A year of growth and transformation: Reflecting on my first 12 months at 360 Lifecycle

The past year has been an exhilarating journey of challenges, successes, and learning experiences as I stepped into the role of Head of Intermediary Sales at 360 Lifecycle. It has been a year marked by transformation, both personally and for the organisation. In this article, I will reflect on my first 12 months in this role, highlighting key milestones, lessons learned, and the exciting path ahead. 

Embracing a new role: Taking on the mantle of Head of Sales came with its fair share of responsibilities and expectations. From day one, I was tasked with contributing to the growth and success of 360 Lifecycle. The transition was both exciting and demanding, as I had to quickly adapt to a new set of challenges. 

Understanding the market: One of the first priorities was to gain a deep understanding of our target market, customer needs, and industry trends. This involved comprehensive market research and customer feedback analysis. This knowledge became the foundation for refining our sales strategies and product offerings. 

Adapting to a changing landscape: The tech industry is ever evolving, and adaptability is key to staying competitive. Over the past year, we encountered unforeseen challenges, such as mortgage rate rises and the impact this has on our customers. Showing flexibility and driving innovation became essential in navigating these challenges. 

Strengthening client relationships: At 360 Lifecycle, our clients are at the heart of everything we do. Over the year, we have been building and nurturing client relationships. Open communication, transparency, and going the extra mile to meet their needs have been pivotal in retaining and expanding our client base. 

 Achieving milestones: I am proud to say that, over the past year, we achieved several significant milestones. Winning the Financial Reporter Awards for Best Technology Provider and the Mortgage Awards by MoneyAge for Mortgage Technology Provider of the Year, this is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the entire team. 

Lessons learned: My first year as Head of Sales taught me invaluable lessons about teamwork and the importance of continuous improvement. It reinforced the idea that success is a journey, not a destination, and embracing change is essential for growth. 

Looking ahead: As I look ahead to the future, I see exciting opportunities for 360 Lifecycle. We are constantly innovating and improving our product offerings, to further strengthen our client relationships and remain competitive in a tough market. The lessons learned in my first year will guide us on this path to even greater success. 

I am grateful for the support of our dedicated team and the trust placed in me. With a solid foundation and a clear vision for the future, I am excited to be part of 360 Lifecycle as we move into our next phase of growth and continue our journey of excellence in the tech industry.
