ASSISTANT Ownership Ori Joynson

The silent achiever, Ori Joynson is the first to say this career path was a bit of a surprise for her. Not one to take centre stage at any given opportunity, she would once have described herself as shy.

When she joined the business, she decided to go at her own pace and progress when it felt right for her. Observing and learning from others, getting to grips with new skills and systems, and taking advantage of the countless educational opportunities within the network, Ori has now achieved her Assistant Ownership promotion within the RedSeven Marketing office. Congratulations Ori!

Rob Cotterell, Managing Director, wanted us to speak with her regarding her experience in the industry and Advancement Programme.

Having worked as a carer for four years previously, Ori wanted something for herself; something she could build, put her stamp on and be proud of. She didn’t know what that looked like, but she applied for multiple openings, arrived at the RedSeven Marketing office and has loved it ever since.

“I love the fact that you constantly get support and education. You don’t know everything, no one does.”

Now an Assistant Owner within the business, Ori is levelling up. She’s brand new to the role and focusing on building depth in her team by replicating her skills throughout. She runs the office when she gets the opportunity, rather well we’d like to add, and soon she’ll be getting to grips with additional areas of business management such as client liaison, finances and brand development.

Something she’s particularly eager to master is the recruitment aspect of the business, from start to finish. How do we attract candidates, how do we organise the recruitment process, how do we conduct appointments with candidates and how do we facilitate the start of their career with us? It’s all fun and games in our industry.

Although Ori is excited about the next stage in her career development, she found her previous promotion to Crew Leadership challenging.

“You’re learning how to coach all sorts of people, and not just one at a time, but three or four simultaneously. Learning to lead a larger team, keeping organised and making sure everyone has a plan was something new to me”

We asked Ori to give us some insight into each advancement of the business, here are the tips she gave for the smoothest of journeys:

Brand Ambassador

Copy and Listen! Be a toddler and absorb everything.

Leader Network as soon as possible - Help yourself

Promoting Leader

Don’t halt recruitment - You know how to sell, now learn how to coach and show them how to sell

Team Leadership

Always overshoot your criteria - Your goal should be bigger than what it needs to be. That way, if you don’t hit it, you’ll still be a lot closer than if you had aimed for the minimum. And when you do hit it, you’ll know you’re ready.

Team BIA, inspired by the Greek Goddess of raw energy and power, is planning to stay in Bristol to form a Powerhouse location with RedSeven Marketing. This means that whilst being a Managing Director in her own right, running her own business with her own clients, she’ll still be getting support from the organisation there and then on-site. A smart move.

A big believer in networking, Ori is progressing her career alongside those she’s met along the way, for instance through the Entrepreneur’s Academy. There’s friendly competition of course, but support, kindness and consideration more than anything else. Imagine building your business with your best friends - That’s what we do every day. Congratulations Ori Joynson. Kudos.
