2025 might be the hardest time to generate new business

Inboxes are graveyards.  Everyones got something to sell. Cold calls turn into send me an email.

Meanwhile, pipeline anxiety is at an all-time high.

No sales? No business. No business? Well… you get it.

If you’re a B2B service business with a real solution, not just another “all-in-one AI platform to disrupt synergy,”

I help you get in front of the right people.
Then we turn those conversations into qualified meetings that land directly in your diary.

No growth hacks. No wishful thinking. Just honest, uncomfortable work that works.

What I ACTUALLY do:

- Book qualified meetings (without embarrassing your brand)

- Train sales teams to prospect like it’s 2025, not 2015

- Help people to make sales human again

I used to sell Sky TV Remote Control insurance 

If you paid the company £5.99 a month

In the event your Sky remote broke

You'd be sent a free one 

You can get a Sky Remote for about £12 on eBay

It was a scam

But I was young and naive

And the script was just push push push

Eventually someone would give in

I lasted 3 months in that role


If you want to be good at sales you need to tick these boxes

- You work for a company you believe in
- You work for a leader you trust 
- You sell a product you think solves genuine problems

If you're reading all three of them and thinking that's not me

It might not be that you're bad at sales

You might just be in the wrong environment 

Remember you will die

I got rejected by Keir Starmer 

Rejection happens - Get over it

Shy kids don't get any sweets

Slide in the DMs

Want to receive emails like this daily? 

It's literally so simple



1. Go to your inbox
2. Click new email
3. Put yourself as recipient
4. Click subject line
5. Write "Stripe Payout: Your $82,384 payout is on the on the way"


It's very easy to fake your success on social media

The question to ask yourself 

If Gurus are that rich and successful 

Why would they need to charge to teach others?

I got rejected trying to sell a pen

Most people are scared to pick up the phone

And I'm not just talking about sales

We live in a society where it's easier to:
- Email
- Slack
- WhatsApp

And more and more people are moving away from verbal communication

It feels easier and quicker

But you're losing so much

The magic of connection
The ability to communicate
The chance to listen to what is and isn't being said

If you receive a lengthy email from a client this week

If you receive a question from your team on slack

If you get a text of your Nan saying she's making spaghetti

Pick up the phone and call them

Not only will you probably make someone's day

But you'll keep the art of communicating alive

Remember you will die

POV: Your prospect found self awareness post cold call

Nigel Farage MP is right, I agree with him...


If you're under 30 you shouldn't be allowed to work from home...

The majority of Gen Z employees want to work from home

And my 14 year old nephew wants to stay at home playing fortnight, eating Doritos and not showering....

Some kids don't want to go to school
But they have to

Some kids don't want to eat their vegetables
But they have to

Some adults don't want to pay taxes 
But they have to. (Well, some do)

Sometimes what we want isn't best for us

When I was 21 I probably would have opted to WFH

It would have been the biggest mistake of my life

I met incredible people
I learn brilliant things
The bar was set higher

I met people in other departments in pubs that I'd never engage with on slack

I had an internal riverally to keep up with others

I'd mimick behaviour and borrow certain phrases

If you're young and looking for WFH for convenience

Remember

The hard decisions now will give you an easy life
The easy decisions now will give you a hard life

And don't get me started on the loneliness AI will bring

Just my two cents

Obviously there's circumstances and context

(This doesn't mean I'm voting for Reform or agree with anything else the bloke says)

Every successful person I've ever met only drinks black coffee

- No latte
- No flat white
- No cappuccino

I asked a millionaire why once and his response shocked me

"The time it takes to make the milk frothy is time wasted"

Ever since then I've only drank black coffee

You get used to the taste

If I want to leave generational wealth for my family you'll never catch me drinking a Macchiato

Remember you will die

I asked the people of Manchester if they could "SELL ME THIS PEN"

This is what happened:

Turns out even decision makers still report to someone....


Remember you will die

You should NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER

Circle back or touch base....

When you leave a sales call it's very simple

1. "I'm a sucker for a next step - what would you like to do from here"

2. "And if I don't hear from you - what should I do then?"

Typically they'll say let's arrange a time, chase me, follow up on an arranged date

Then when you call back

"John, as promised I've got a note to speak with you today"

There are many other variations to this

but NEVER circle back

Remember you will die

I've spent 14,278 hours of my life cold calling...

If you don't know these 10 things about sales 

YOU NEED TO KNOW

1. It's not a sin not to get the deal. It's a sin to take a long time not to get the deal 

2. You can't lose something you never had 

3. If you find yourself convincing or trying to persuade - you've already lost 

4. The sales process should be all about the buyer 

5. The difference between influence and manipulate is intent 

6. There is no silver bullet, nothing will work 100% of the time

7. So many make things complicated. Keep things as simple as possible 

8. A prospect and a salesperson are 50/50. It is an equal relationship of solution and problem

9. You typically don't reap the benefits of your hard work for 90 days when it comes to prospecting 

10. Cold calling is the number one form of prospecting if you want qualified appointments

Follow these 10 like the bible and you'll sell more

The Beatles got rejected by Decca Records

Steven Spielberg got rejected by film school

I got rejected by girls every time I went clubbing because I always wore a blazer and carried a chocolate fondue machine around.

I got ghosted by an SDR

Last week a sales rep called me from some AI tool company and started asking some good questions...

I gave the classic objection (Genuinely true)

"I've got a meeting now - if you call me back at 2.30pm we can chat"

2.30pm came... I waited

Nothing
Nothing for the rest of the day
Nothing the next day
Nothing the day after

Didn't view my profile
Didn't email me
Didn't DM me

GHOSTED

I said I was interested and they ghosted me

What in the UNO reverse card is going on.

I’m in a bad place right now...



Not mentally.

I’m stuck on a train in Nuneaton .



Big trip to the smoke with Zac Thompson 

Remember you will die

Every time you discount, you're teaching them you were lying about the price

You're showing them the product or service isn't actually worth the value

You start the relationship on the wrong foot

They leave the deal and think

"If they gave me 10%, could I have got 20%?"

Try to understand why they want a discount

Is it cause they're cheeky or is it because they only have one month left of runrate

The LinkedIn sales course pyramid scheme:

Step 1: Pay £10k for a sales course
Step 2: Don't make any money from it
Step 3: Sell £10k sales courses
Step 4: Finally make money

It's MLM for people with LinkedIn Premium

The people making money in the gold rush weren't digging for gold

They were selling shovels

And right now there's a lot of 23-year-olds on LinkedIn selling shovels

To people who want to sell shovels

If it actually worked, they'd be using it

Not selling it

Take everything with a pinch of salt

(Apart from my advice, that's gospel) 

Remember you will die

DON'T WORK WITH FRIENDS...

It won't work, you'll all fall out and at least one of them will try and steal all the money

That's what people said when I said I was going into business with my two best friends

Zac Thompson + Ben Owen 

I'll be honest most days it feels like I'm back at high school and I've just been set some work experience

I still feel seventeen and I feel lucky that our friendship has dictated the culture of the company

(We're all the same size btw just a funny angle - 6ft)

Co Founder

Frustrated that your marketing isn’t working as hard as it could be for your business?

Worried that you’re missing out because your marketing efforts aren’t as effective as they could be?

Or maybe you’re fed up of your marketing not representing who you are, or want to be.

Many business owners work tirelessly to build their businesses, delivering great products and services.

Yet they struggle to harness the power of marketing. Let alone align with sales.

In fact, their marketing efforts are sometimes hindering, rather than helping their business grow.

The thing is, marketing is simple. But not easy.

And that’s why I'm typically invited in - to help businesses that are fantastic at what they do, reach and attract more prospective customers.

I help them understand the immutable laws of marketing (no secret sauce or black magic or jargon) and then execute campaigns that deliver more and better commercial outcomes.

I help articulate their messaging in a way that enables their prospective customers understand how they can solve their problems.

I execute tactics that create, capture and convert demand for their business, faster.

Founder & Managing Director

We’re a new generation of demand marketers. True commercial thinkers. Builders of brands that deliver more pipeline, faster.

Marketing is simple. But not easy...

And that’s why we’re typically invited in - to help businesses that are fantastic at what they do, reach and attract more prospective customers.
