CEO at TROVEK Dwayne Foster Reveals Why Age is Just a Number in Business

With many people adopting the attitude that they are too old or too young to chase their dream. CEO at TROVEK, Dwayne Foster argues that age is just a number, by providing insight into his own business journey.

TROVEK: About the firm

Before entering the direct sales and marketing industry, Dwayne Foster was a professional footballer, signed to Wolverhampton Wanderers between the ages of eight to seventeen. “I enjoyed every minute of it, but I felt like there was so much more I could get out of my life other than football,” stated Mr Foster.

The TROVEK CEO was just 18 when he entered the direct sales and marketing field, with zero experience. The entrepreneur was given the opportunity to participate in a business training program, learning all of the necessary skills to run his own company. Within ten months, Mr Foster mastered the skills and completed the programme, before going on to open his own business just one month later.

“Coming into this industry, it allowed me to see the bigger picture. I was able to gain a lot of personal development in only a few short months, and that lit a fire inside of me,” stated the TROVEK CEO.

The passionate business coach and mentor is urging people not to be defined by their age. "Most 18-year-olds would consider running their own company in less than a year to be a pipedream. I was incredibly fortunate to find an opportunity like that, and I’m excited and motivated by the proposition of passing on that same opportunity to others,” claimed Mr Foster.

When it comes to talent acquisition, TROVEK has adopted a no experience, no problem approach. Just like age shouldn’t be a factor, the direct marketing specialists argue that as long as someone possesses a student mentality, a strong work ethic and a positive and pro-active attitude, they can provide them with all the tools to succeed.

“People put so many limitations on themselves, and they are confined by the walls that society sets for them. Age is just a number; it does not determine what you can do,” commented Dwayne Foster, CEO at TROVEK.

TROVEK is a young, fresh and dynamic, Birmingham-based direct marketing firm specialising in lead generation, campaign development and brand loyalty through personalised marketing solutions. CEO Dwayne Foster is hoping to expand the firm’s talent pool with individuals who don’t put self-restrictions on themselves due to their age.
