Alan Kippax

Alan Kippax a lifer. By that, I mean he has always been an entrepreneur. He began by obtaining broken down bikes, dismantling them, and then selling parts to his brother's friends. Later, he started a newspaper delivery route. While on that route he called in to houses that were not receiving the paper and within six weeks increased the number of newspapers he delivered from 42 to 82.

His ability to exceed expectations in the fastest time again appeared when he sold Kirby vacuum cleaners. Within the third week of employment, he was the top salesperson in London. The ability to supersede in a minimum amount of time was again displayed when started selling boxed meat. Within the third week, he broke the company record of 61 by selling 101 of the products within a week. He was nicknamed by the company "Lucky" and at the time, at the age of 17, he was the youngest salesperson in the company. As we shall see, it was not luck, but result of abilities that he has continued to develop until this day. He continued with Gomet foods and for the next 17 months and was the number one salesperson during his employment.
