Our team
At Northbound, individuals are not viewed simply as employees. They are viewed as people with potential — and our job is to build the environment where that potential turns into a career.
Our leadership
Chief Executive Officer · Founder & Marketing Director
Akrem entered the direct sales industry with no shortcuts: learning the product, having the conversations, taking the coaching and completing the Management in Training process before building a company of his own.
An author before he was an owner, he came to sales because he wanted to learn how to communicate the value of an idea — and stayed because he discovered he would rather build people than simply build numbers.
Because our leadership started at the bottom, the expectations here are honest. You will be coached hard, told the truth and given real responsibility as soon as you have earned it.
Our culture
Ask anyone in the room to describe Northbound and you will hear the same five things.
Career growth path
There is no guesswork about how you move forward here. Every stage has a standard, and every standard is coachable.
You are not waiting for a job title to become available. You move when you have met the standard for the next stage — and we tell you exactly what that standard is.
Learn the fundamentals: product knowledge, customer conversations, objection handling and the professionalism our clients expect. You are coached in the field, not left to figure it out.
Now hiringOnce your own numbers are consistent, you start developing someone else. Teaching the fundamentals is where most people discover how much they actually know.
The full business-side education: team development, campaign management, interviewing, administration and the leadership habits that hold an organisation together.
Now hiringRun a team, run a market, and for those who want it, build a company. Our own leadership took this exact route — which is why we can teach it.
