HEY, I’M JENNA!
A girl who had the idea to become a florist in her mid twenties with no prior experience and no qualifications in floristry, but only a burning passion for business.
My love for business has always been instilled in me, even at the young age of 5. I set up a sweet stall outside my home and filled paper bags with 2 pence sweets I had bought out of my pocket money and quickly learned I could make more pocket money than I originally had by selling sweets for a profit.
This carried on throughout my childhood and when I reached comprehensive school, you guessed it, I was the kid who sold sweets!
Fast forward many years and after many hobby businesses, I found myself not going to Uni alongside my friends but instead getting a sales based role. I quickly developed a HUGE passion and buzz for all things sales, and within just 3 years at the company became one of their global top sellers and moved into a managerial position.
As much as I loved my job, I realised I was making the company hundreds of thousands of pounds year after year but still being paid a basic salary. I knew I could use my passion for business and new found knowledge of sales, and make myself more money, have more flexibility, and live how I wanted to live while working less than full time hours.
I set up Bloom Street in 2021 and within 6 months was making more money than I did in my full time sales role I previously did. Setting up Bloom Street has been so much fun and has been so rewarding! But after meeting so many newbie florists who were struggling, I realised the one thing that they all lacked… business and sales knowledge. BUT this is where I come in!
MY APPROACH TO COACHING
My approach to mentoring and coaching is basically how I’d like to be coached myself. I know EVERYONE is capable of amazing things and i’m just here to help you get to where you wanna be! I’m brutally honest, I’ll share all of my failures with you (after all, there is no success without failure first!) and lift you up when you need it. I’m here to be a friend and a mentor, someone you can ask crazy questions to and i’ll ALWAYS be your hype gal!
