“The system always works.”

Last week, Rafał R. delivered one of the most powerful sessions we’ve had this year - not about sales tactics, but about discipline, structure, and habits.

“It wasn’t luck.
 It wasn’t some hidden talent.
 It was the result of a well-built system.
 A system that works even when I have no strength, no inspiration, no motivation - but the system always works.”

His message hit home with all of us:

✅ Motivation fades — systems stay.
✅ Win your first battle of the day.
✅ Focus on 1% improvements.
✅ Structure and consistency beat chaos.
✅ Preparation beats willpower.

Big thanks to Rafał R. for reminding us that great performance isn’t about intensity - it’s about consistency 👏 

Coming to a TED talk near you soon! 😃 🚀

VP Sales | B2B SaaS | Revenue Growth | GTM Strategy

Personalisation or BUST.

We’ve all been talking about it for years - but the reasons why it must now sit at the very heart of every marketer’s strategy have never been more critical.

✅ Customers expect it - 71% of consumers want experiences tailored to them.
✅ Businesses profit from it - fast-growth organisations drive 40% more revenue from personalisation.
✅ Quality traffic is harder to come by - with 59% of EU Google searches now ending in zero clicks, every visit to your site counts.
✅ And it’s never been easier (or cheaper) to do at scale with the right tools and data.

At Leeds marketingSHOWCASE, I shared why “personalisation” isn’t a campaign tactic - it’s the connective tissue that links marketing, sales, and the customer experience.

The brands that win in 2026 will be the ones who understand, interact, and convert at the individual level - not just the audience level.
