We Have A Meeting Podcast

Co Host

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

Sales Consultant

As a Consultant for AP+, I help businesses in the furniture, homeware, and tech industries find the right 3PL, storage, and fulfilment solutions.

I absolutely hate when employees ask if they can nip out for a few hours for a doctor's appointment 

You know why I detest these questions...


You're a fully grown adult

I'm not your dad

You shouldn't need to ask

The answer is simple



You get 15 holidays a year

Book a half day

Helping Your Business Generate Qualified Meetings | Author - Sales Is Therapy | Director of the UK's 2nd Best Sales Agency 📞☎️📱

I saw my cousin last week and he asked me what it was like working in sales…

I said “Imagine going up to every girl in a bar and starting a conversation”

“Go on” he said

“And every single one of them tells you you’re annoying, rude and you're invading their personal space”

“Yeah? Story of my life!”

“And then you find one who’s really interested”

“Ok!?!?!” he said with excitement

“ And she makes plans with you to see you next week….”


“And then she doesn’t show up and ignores all your calls for the rest of eternity”


That is what it’s like working in sales

Remember you will die

How did we get Rory Sutherland to come on the podcast?

If you follow me you know I'm phone over email

But

If you're sending an email the first goal is to get them to open the email. 

Your email can be amazing but if they don't open it, it's pointless ...

Think outside the box

Remember you will die

Some employees will shock you....

Last week Ada Nwandu booked 9 meetings 

The maddest part was that this was across 4 different clients 

No cold email
No LinkedIn outreach

All by picking up the phone and having a conversation....

Do they have a problem?
Are they motivated to solve it?

I was lucky enough to catch Ada in action at 4pm on Friday booking her last meeting of the week 

Well done Ada! Incredible scenes

Remember you will die

Ps. One last weird question always helps increase attendance - it's the commitment principle from Dr. Robert Cialdini Influence.

Monday – No replies
Tuesday – No replies
Wednesday – A “maybe”
Thursday – A “let’s talk next week”
Friday – Closed won

Sales is an absolute graft of highs and lows

But it compounds

The more you do
The more people you speak with
The more you improve

Even if it feels like it's not working

Keep showing up and keep doing the bit

Remember you will die

If you're cold calling this week and somebody is rude to you

Remember this

Nothing is gained from snapping back

Never wrestle a pig

You both get dirty

But the pig will enjoy it

Have empathy at all times 

You don't know what's happened in this person's life

A CEO said they don't take sales calls yet have a team making sales calls?

Cool

Move on

Control what you can actually control

Remember you will die

Unprofessional cold calling is ruining sales for the rest of us.

Dialing and vomiting your pitch when someone picks up doesn't work


If you're saying:

"Hi John, It's Jack from WHAM, how are you today?"

Stop

You don't care how they are

So stop asking...


If you want to cold call, seek permission...

Cold Calling becomes a lot easier when you have permission 

Justin Michaels will disagree

13 phrases to use in an email that get 100% response rate

Morning! ✔
Was just wondering...✔
Sorry to bother you✔
Be great to hear back✔
Gentle reminder ✔
Catch up ✔
Sorry to bother you again✔
Just circling back ✔
Sorry I exist✔
I'm really sorry to do this ✔
So so sorry (I wish my mother had swallowed me)✔
Remember that thing you said you'd do, would it be possible to do it?✔

What's your favourite?

Remember you will die

I'd like to take some time to shout out the main man behind the scenes....

Sunny Raja

In sales it's always the salespeople that get the praise

You booked a meeting
You got a renewal
You closed a deal

At We Have a Meeting Sunny is the man that sits by the team day in day out

- Live call listening
- Coaching
- Helping

If every sales team had a leader like this on hand they'd thrive

Sunny joined the business back in June coming from Deliveroo as a sales manager and has been nothing short of incredible 

With Sunny leading the team in Manchester it's allowed us to spend more time growing the business and make sure our clients are consistently getting the results

Thank you Sunny

Remember you will die

The linkedin algorithm has changed....


Every day I read posts from people whinging and moaning that it's not like the good old days 

If you run a business and you're not posting on LinkedIn you're missing out

It's free advertising for your dream clients

Imagine if you could have a billboard with your face on it outside your ICPs office everyday for free

You'd do it

People will charge for LinkedIn advice but just do this....

- Connect with the people you want to work with
- Post regularly 
- Talk every single day about the problem you solve
- Educate, Entertain or Inspire
- Become known for the problem you solve 

If you want to generate more leads for your business - don't sleep on LinkedIn

Remember you will die

9am -  0 meetings
10am -0 meetings
11am -0 meetings
12pm - Lunch
1pm - 0 meetings
2pm - 0 meetings
3pm - 0 meetings
4pm - 0 meetings
5pm - 0 meetings

You can't win every day...

Remain consistent

The rest will follow

Remember you will die

I sat down on a Zoom with the CEO of a huge company 6 months ago

At the end of the call, he told me thanks, but no thanks…

I asked him what he meant?

He said he just didn’t see a fit right now

That’s fine

This is where nurturing comes in

Over those last 6 months

I sent him a bouquet of flowers every 2nd Thursday

I designed a personalised newsletter which featured his life achievements on a weekly basis (Sundays)

I took him to see Elton John in a box and paid for his wine

I took out a small ad in his local newspaper

And sponsored his son's football team

This morning we had 6 month follow up

He still doesn’t see a fit right now

But maybe in another 6 months

We’ll sign the deal

Nurturing is key

Never stop never stopping

Remember you will die

"I sent you a ransom note in the post"....


Your job in sales is to cut through the noise....

Every founders inbox is saturated with the same CHAT GPT message on repeat

That's why we favour the phone

If your goal is to have a conversation with a stranger

Why wouldn't you just call them?

"bUt wHaT aBoUt tHoSe tHat dOnt tAkE sAlEs cAlLs"

This is where the power of direct mail comes in

Disrupt them via the post

Send them something that captures their attention 

Call them the next day

Direct mail without a follow up strategy is a waste of time

Remember you will die

Most salespeople aren't scum
Most salespeople don't use scare tactics
Most salespeople don't lie
Most salespeople don't send spam
Most salespeople aren't manipulative

There’s a stereotype of salespeople that actually isn’t true

A large majority actually want to help

Yet most get tarred with the same brush because of a few pushy arseholes

Good salespeople solve problems
Good salespeople help people in need
Good salespeople are a fountain of knowledge

Even if you don’t think you work in sales

You work in sales

Remember you will die

If you want to hit target
Work out how many deals you need

If you want to get a deal
Work out how many opportunities you need

If you want to get an opportunity
Work out how many meetings you need

If you want to get a meeting
Work out how many conversations you need

If you want to have a conversation
Work out how many dials you need to make

Reverse engineer everything

Know your numbers

Sales shouldn't be left down to feeling
Break it down into easy chunks...

Remember you will die

Salespeople can't read or write

But imagine if they could....


Remember you will die

If you are picking up the phone today.

Hats off to you…

Cold Calling
Prospecting
Outbound
Slamming the phone into your skull

People call the phone intrusive...

But forget that it drives revenue

The same revenue that pays everyone's wage

Don’t doubt the power of the phone

Remember you will die

I made a cold call whilst Christmas shopping the other day

Most people spend their weekends watching Netflix and eating Chinese food

If I'm being dragged around a garden centre I'll use the time wisely

- Build a list of your dream prospects
- Call them on the weekend
- Find out if they have a problem you solve
- Wish them a happy holidays 

Most people think Christmas is a time to wind down

It's the opposite

Merry Christmas - it's dialling time

Remember you will die

Is this out of order?

I'm doing screening calls for interviews the morning and went through to voicemail for a candidate 

Their voicemail just said

"Wagwan"

I won't be calling them back

Do they deserve a second chance? 

Remember you will die

Oh well one more rejection for the list...

Thanks LinkedIn Learning Community 

Remember you will die
