In our latest episode of Chewing the Channel, Will sits down with Jonathan Walker, CEO of Access4, to unpack his journey from youngest-ever business apprentice at JCB to customer-centric excellence in UCaaS and SASBOSS.

Jonathan shares invaluable insights on:

The hustle mindset: finish school, get experience, and start earning.

• How interpersonal skills and the way you treat people shape your career.
• Loving early roles while knowing they’re stepping stones, not forever jobs.

Jonathan also speaks on the criticalities when setting up a new business; the importance of cracking on and generating revenue when launching, rather than waiting for perfection and potentially missing opportunities. Recruiting with honesty and defining your lane with co-founders and colleagues.

Jonathan also touches on the current market dynamics, the pressure to constantly be building recurring revenue streams, diversifying and mastering multi-vendor selling. As well as the challenges of evolving from an ISP to an MSP, especially for engineering and service teams.
