CEO & Founder

On a mission to help others rethink how they deliver value to the world.

I’m often asked how I choose who I work with.

The short answer is...

I don’t look for people who sound smart.
I look for people who’ve made hard decisions 
when growth was on the line.

That’s exactly why I’m bringing this group together 
for the Expert Series.

These are operators, advisors, and leaders who’ve:
.scaled revenue when things weren’t neat & pretty
.navigated complexity, not just talked about it against internal politics

They’re joining the series to share decision-level insight on the growth challenges senior leaders wrestle with every day.
No pitches.
No recycled playbooks you can google.
No tactical noise or rabbit holes

𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀.

I’m excited to be working with this first group of experts:
⚡Shannon Plumb
Brandon Jones
Katrina Purcell
Paty Araiza 🧭
Dhevesh Mewawalla
Russell Palmer
Wesleyne Whittaker
Julia Vorontsova
Ejiro Okorodudu

and me.

We’re opening a waitlist for leaders who want early access to the sessions.
Small rooms. Serious conversations.

Excited to see you there! [Link in comments]

The biggest challenges in sales right now are indecision, ghosting, overcoming objections, AI overwhelm, pressure from above and hitting target.

You’ll overcome fears through roleplays. You will get continued personal development through my accountability, learning documents and checklists.

Having spent 23 years in the corporate world, I understand the frustrations and challenges a sales team endure on a daily basis.

I called a spammer
He sent me a LinkedIn DM claiming to have spoken to various members of my team.

No idea who these team members are, but I would like to meet them 😄 Everybody Works In Sales Ltd is me and my VA of 7 years Nicola Case. We have never heard of this spammer, who called himself Ben.

So I called up Ben early December and he was unavailable. I left him a message thanking him for his email and asked for a call back.

Heard nothing.

I called back a week later, asking he return my message, and even gave the time and date he sent the email. Nothing.

I then emailed this morning asking why he claimed to have spoken to my team members. 

We all make mistakes. Here's what happens when you make one.

1. Apologise QUICKLY.

2. Apologise SINCERELY.

3. DON'T do it again.

Most people are decent and will accept that.

Lying is foolish because people find out and don't want to work with you. That affects your revenue, profits and reputation.

If you have been badly taught in sales or don't know how to sell on email or LinkedIn, most people are in the same boat.

❌ How do I go viral?
❌ How do I generate leads?
❌ How do I make sure people comment on my posts?
❌ How do I come up with content ideas?

The biggest questions people should ask about LinkedIn

✅ How do I build quality relationships?

✅ How do I convert leads to sales?

✅ How do I stay consistent with quality posting?

✅ How do I sell effectively, so I don’t waste money on LinkedIn Sales Navigator?

✅ How do achieve more success in fast-growing countries like the Middle East?

✅ How do I navigate fast-growing countries like the Middle East?

I’ll be answering this and much more on 23rd January in the LinkedIn Authority Masterclass with Middle East expert Corina Goetz

We only did one masterclass last year. I’m away on business from 25th Jan, so if you miss this, you miss the live session.

Upselling and Cross-Selling To Your Clients
Yesterday I went to buy new trainers.

There were 3 people working in the shop. 

2 people were chatting about their Saturday night louder than they should have, with their backs to customers. They failed to acknowledge me when I walked in.

The 3rd worker, Elaine, asked me, “Hi, what help do you need?, not the usual cliched “Can I help you with anything?” One is an open question, the other is a closed one.

Always use an open question at the beginning.

I had plantar fasciitis in my feet 10 years ago. After the NHS repeatedly failed to get the diagnoses right, I went private.

After a brutal course of cortisol injections, they recommended trainers like ASICS, HOKA or Brooks with padding to protect my feet.

Elaine recommended trainers that would help and support me. My budget was £90 and the trainers that were more comfortable at £130 – upsell done.

She noticed my work socks and mentioned that sports socks are better suited, so I purchased several pairs of socks – cross-sell done.

Having worked 31 years in sales, I’m a tough person to sell to, yet I purchased with ease.

My wife Rachel ( as a newly wed, I still get excited calling her my wife) was with me. She was impressed with Elaine and purchased pink trainers for herself.

This is a great example of how selling should be done.

There was:
 
✅  no awkward body language
✅  no nerves
✅  no speaking faster
✅  no hard sell
✅  no rush for the deal
✅  no desperation
✅  it was all about serving the customer

Most people don’t think enough about upselling or cross-selling to clients - and they're not aware of their tone or body language when doing so.

Ghosting affects all of us
You can't stop it completely.
You can reduce ghosting which reduces stress, improves confidence and makes work more enjoyable.

when you get ghosted, try this

If Michael Jordan needed support, so you do.
…Michael Jordan was a basketball player for Chicago Bulls. He was a good player, but was still getting pushed around by certain teams like Detroit Pistons.

Enter Tim Grover. He wrote to everyone in the Chicago Bulls team asking to be their coach and help them succeed. They ignored him.

He didn’t initially write to Michael Jordan since he was the best player in the team and thought Michael Jordan would ignore him.

Finally, he wrote to Michael Jordan who wanted to improve his career and was smart enough to say yes.

No outsider has ever come into a basketball team like this before and naturally people were concerned.

Many sales leaders and business owners are concerned about hiring outside coaches, often thinking they know it all themselves.

If you try and do everything yourself, you will fail.

Everyone needs help.

Tim Grover didn’t train Jordan on getting better at basketball, he trained him on mindset, getting the basics right and got him doing arm weights to intimidate the competition. Tim didn’t train him the way other people did.

Jordan is now considered the greatest basketball player and of one of the most successful athletes of all time.

How is this relevant to you?

✅ Never give up at the first attempt like most people.

✅ Never be afraid of going big.

✅ Master the basics. If you’re not great at selling, then paying for LinkedIn Premium and Sales Navigator will keep you struggling.

✅ Investing in a coach is not a sign of weakness, it’s a shortcut to your next breakthrough.

✅ Greatness doesn’t happen alone.

Prospecting Checklist for January 2026

How NOT to sell on LinkedIn
I received this cold email from something I posted on LinkedIn.

Here’s what I like about the email
It’s short and to the point

Here’s what’s wrong with it 
❌ You messaged me on the wrong platform
❌ You have no website or contact details, so I waste time searching to see if you’re real or AI
❌ You have your timelines wrong
❌ You’re making assumptions

Here’s how to improve it
➡️ Nobody needs another email

➡️ ➡️ LinkedIn is the easiest platform to sell on (apart from face to face).

➡️ ➡️ ➡️ Like and comment on their posts first so they know who you are.

➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ When you message in the DMs, voice notes and videos get a higher rate of return because most people don’t make that effort.

➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ ➡️ It’s not the most qualified who get the business. It’s often those who stand out and provide value

Sign up for the LinkedIn Authority Masterclass on 23rd January with myseklf and Corina Goetz if you want to gain more clarity, grow on LinkedIn and generate more sales ttps://https://lnkd.in/ef6GxSwF
