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

No it hasn't

Not everything has to be turned into a business lesson on LinkedIn

Netflix got rejected by Blockbuster

Google got rejected by Yahoo

I got rejected by a girl every time I went clubbing at 18 because I looked like a depressed wedding magician.

Everybody asks why sales leaders don't take cold calls...


They never ask why I'm speaking to the wrong John Smith

I got rejected by Steven Bartlett 

Rejection happens

Get over it

Remember you will die

Took my partner out for dinner last night

She asked why I'm so calm about losing deals

I said "Because I'm going to die one day and none of this actually matters"

She said "That's dark"

When you remember you're mortal

Rejection stops feeling personal

It's just part of the process

What she actually said was...

"Can you stop talking about sales for five fucking minutes"

Fair point

Remember you will die

I got rejected by Keir Starmer

Want to 100% guarantee you hit all your 2026 goals?

Get someone pregnant.

Preferably someone you know, like and trust.

The prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until:

Men: 24–27 years old
Women: 21–24 years old

Which means most decisions are driven by validation and pleasure.

You can feel successful but empty.

Once the brain is fully formed, the things that used to excite you stop working.

So people spiral into nihilism, numb themselves for 40 years, and call it a life.

When you have a child, your brain rewires itself around responsibility.

Your brain starts asking one question:

“What must I become so they are okay?”

It stops being about you.

The human brain evolved to prioritise responsibility, protection, and legacy.

This is not the only way.

But having children activates that system instantly.

So if you want to make £10k per month, have a baby.

Just remember that someone's sales strategy is wishing me happy birthday every year

And this year, they made a pigs ear of it...

Claude Cowork just KILLED manual prospecting

And I'm never picking up the phone again......




I've seen this ridiculous bro framework about 40 times now

You comment CLAUDE

A teenager in Bali DMs you and starts talking about making 10k a month and asking if you've listened to Modern Wisdom

Just remember

The people that made the most money during the gold rush were those selling the shovels 

People are scared about missing out with AI

But I promise you

If you could genuinely automate all your outreach, it be good and actually work

It wouldn't be teenagers selling it

It'd be Elon Musk

Everything will come full circle

AI will change the world

But don't be afraid to be human in a world full of automation

Pick up the phone

Remember you will die


Ps. Please comment CLAUDE so I go viral

Four years ago I sat in this booth cold calling every single day 

I'd arrive at 8.30am
Start dialling at 9am
Mobile phone
Office numbers 
Gatekeepers

The goal?

To book 2 appointments a day

I had to find clients for We Have a Meeting 

No LinkedIn presence
No automation
No data sets
No dialler 

Just picking up the phone and trying to find someone who had the problems I solved


After 4 years we're no longer sat in phone booths but the fundamentals remain the same

Pick Up The Phone
Ring People You Might Be Able To Help

2026 is the year where proactive salespeople will win

34 People tagged me in Sara Blakely post with this image

As much as I tried to remind people every day that they'll die

Most people walk around like Non Playable Characters

Like they have forever

Like there's no urgency

They hold grudges, they put things off and next thing you know they're in their fifties and their commitments stack up so high they convince themselves it's too late 

THE INTERNET HAS EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO LEARN

- Want to open a coffee shop at 19? 
- Become a YouTuber at 42? 
- Become a professional skateboarder 59?

There are no rules you can literally just do things

Big deal you get in debt

You could be 86 sat in 100k worth of debt and die the next day but at least you'd say

"Woah my life was sick"

Please please please remember

Remember you will die

And just like that I have a two year old...

There were points many years ago I thought I'd never have a family

I spent so much time and energy worrying and thinking about it 

And before you know it you've got a 2 year old running around the kitchen trying to kick you

Like most worries - they never actually happen...

So it's cool doing 10k months like all your favourite linkedin gurus

But being a parent tops it all

Happy birthday to the ginger toddler 

Remember you will die

I sat the worst call of my career last year

I didn't know anything about the prospect before I jumped on the call

It'd been a ridiculous morning and I'd jumped in unprepared 

I thought I could wing it but when they asked

"What do we do?"

I had no answer. I didn't try and blag it. I just admitted I hadn't had a chance to look.

The prospect was angry. 

They actually bollocked me and then hung up in anger.

I felt like an idiot 

I think Linkedin can sometimes be a showreel of excellence yet everyone that works in sales has to eat glass

Bad calls
Rejection
No's

It happens

Obviously there are many lessons you can take from this...

Prepare
Do research
Look at their website for at least a minute

But actually it's how you bounce back

I didn't spiral

I made a mistake

I felt silly for a minute and then remembered life goes on

One day I'll be dead and I won't be thinking about this guy on my deathbed

Ps. Always know what kind of business your prospect has

Remember you will die

I received a cold call last month that started like this...

This is 100% true

"I'm calling from Three about your phone upgrade"

I was currently driving to the hospital as my partner was in labour

I told the caller

"My partners in labour - I'm about to have a baby I can't talk right now"

The seller paused

"Your baby is going to love these cheap deals"

And guess what - he did

SDR: “Can I get a dialler system to make more cold calls?”

Boss: “We don’t have the budget”

SDR: “Can I invest in Prospeo.io and Nooks to get better contact rates"

Boss: “We don’t have the budget”

SDR: "One of our current clients is coming up to renewal and we don't think they'll continue..."

Boss: “Here’s £10,000, organise a box to see Harry Styles at Wembley and send his wife a fruit bowl”

THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH MASS AI PERSONALITION 

Of course it can scan my profile and fill in the company name

The issue is... There's four companies

So you choose the most recent... which is a book

Now let's be honest, even a day 1 SDR would have done better research 

So of course it will save you time

My genuine thought on mass AI personalisations outreach is this

It can damage your brand more than it can help you generate leads

Be human
Pick up the phone
