Founder and Account Director of BlackChilli, Barry is the driving force and creative energy behind the company. Barry is a visionary, business generator, networking king and would, according to his peers 'turn up at the opening of an envelope'! Barry has over 25 years’ experience in the industry, is a member of The Institute of Public Relations and regular freelance contributor to a host of business titles. A client once summed Barry up by calling him Mr. Marmite, saying “You will either love him or hate him, but you can't ignore him" – he’s the Simon Cowell of the PR industry, brutally honest and saying it like it is.

Crunch PR - Musings from Mr PR - Barry Walker. Rule 3.

Rule 3 – Don’t Run Scared

Business is going to get tougher. However, business is tough, get used to it. A business associate once told me (you know who you are as you read this), that business is called business for a reason. If it wasn’t, it would be called play and then everyone would want to do it. In the coming months you are going to become more diligent in your marketing, prospecting and sales strategies, without giving off those telltale ‘running scared’ signals. Never run scared: stand firm with an air of confidence and sell well. People like doing business with confident individuals.
