About Us

Over the course of his career, Dave has developed hundreds, if not thousands, of partnerships. From growing his own membership organisation to 2000 members almost entirely through referrals and strategic partnerships, to providing access to the SME market for global brands such as Regus & Volvo, reaching nearly 1 million business owners along the way.
Dave's previous business helped connect business services providers to their target market by working with organisations that already had a community of their audience. Facilitating all the marketing support to make sure the right quality of leads were provided at the right time, in a way that added value to all concerned. Whether it be with big brands or new start ups, tailored introductions or prospects at scale (we delivered over 10,000 digital marketing leads to Yell over a 2 year period) we offer experience of lead generation partnerships from both sides of the coin.
And not all that experience has been positive. We learned as much from the mistakes made or witnessed as the successes. We've learned the hard way so you don't have to.
In 2020 (pre COVID) Collaboration Junkie was born. Helping ambitious business owners leverage their credibility to get high quality leads, on a consistent basis, from trusted 3rd parties - making Lead Generation an enjoyable process!
Over the last 3 years we've already worked with over 50 business owners and their teams. Our sweet spot is successful business service providers looking for their next stage of growth, or tech scale ups who are ready to launch and need to get it right first time - but our experience covers a much diverse range; stretching across B2B and B2C, and from product to services.
