About Mike

Mike Oddoye is the founder of OptiMAX, The Referral Agency, built for service businesses that are great at their craft but tired of buying the same enquiry as nine competitors. OptiMAX owns the consumer brands people trust, and each brand recommends exactly one company per area.

With ten years and £15M+ of enterprise B2B sales behind him, Mike learned one thing that never stopped being true: nothing closes like a warm introduction. He understands how UK homeowners and SME decision-makers actually choose who to call, and built the referral model, and its five published checks, around exactly that moment.

Based in Epsom, Surrey, Mike works with service businesses across the UK, helping them implement AI-driven lead generation, automated sales sequences, and end-to-end marketing pipelines using tools like n8n, make.com, and custom AI agents. The goal is always the same: more qualified enquiries, faster follow-up, and a system that runs whether the owner is on-site or offline.
