Struggle to communicate your offering? You need a Clear Sales Message™ Not sure how to sell? you need Selling Confidence™

→ Do you struggle to communicate and sell your offering?
→ Not really sure what to say to engage potential buyers?
→ Feel like you're not closing as much as you could or should?

A LOT of B2B founders experience the frustration of low sales/conversion (coming from people not quite “getting” your offering.) 

This can cause cash flow and confidence issues.

And… losing deals you know you should have won.

Maybe you can relate?

Unfortunately, it happens all too often.

I see it with my clients all the time - it’s why they come to me. 👍

Since 2018, I’ve been working with B2B founders with “hard to explain” offerings to create a Clear Sales Message™  that helps them close more deals.

With a Clear Sales Message™   you can stop worrying about:

❌ Being stumped by difficult objections/questions
❌ People just not seeing the value you offer
❌ Wasting time and ad spend trying to get people to simply understand why they need you. 

And instead...

✅ You have an “answer for EVERYTHING”.
✅ People come to you, knowing EXACTLY what you offer.
✅ Sales cycles shorten and ROAS increases as people FINALLY “get it.”


For example:

🚑 OnCue Transport came to me with a new “hard to explain” offering and I took them from £3M pa to £11M pa

🏢 Tobi from Diverse made £30k in 3 months when we dialled in his offer and made sure he knew EXACTLY how to sell it and what to say.

📣 Jack at Longman Media Co came to me wanting to be clearer on what he does and closed a £12k deal on the strength of a 2 word phrase we created for him (within 2 weeks).

👷‍♂️ John at Symterra wanted help explaining his offering and on the strength of that he was able to secure investor funding and SCALE the business as a result.


And that’s just a handful of the 300+ clients I have helped.

(Not to mention the 200+ students I've taught my Clear Sales Message™ methodology to at UCL and  and BirkBeck University of London) 

So,

Yesterday I was invited by the lovely Selena Quick to celebrate 10 years of PAD London. 🥂 

Whilst near Baker Street, I couldn't help but pop to see where an old hero of mine used to live...

I love that this is an ACTUAL thing!

It's making an impact on other like this that drives me. ❤️ 

I always joke with Stephen that I'm like a proud father when I see his progress... and I mean it!

This post literally made my day. 

Feeling the love.

Connecting employers with their target audience using influencer marketing, events and content | Trusted by LinkedIn, HSBC, BBC and more.

I've spent £10K on coaching & courses. 

And I plan to spend 10 times more this year. 

Here’s what I’ve invested in so far: 

Sophie helped me figure out how position myself on LinkedIn.

James helped me with my sales calls which helped me close £30K in two weeks. 

Shoaib taught me how to write content that gets leads. 

Alicia helped me out when my LinkedIn was tanking.  

Jonny helped me diagnose and reposition my agency. 

Timothy taught me agency economics 

These investment have made me £200K+ in revenue to date. 

Not spending on self development is broke  energy. 

Because you’ve got to spend money to make money.

The gap between where you are and where you want to be is a skills issue.

I’d rather pay to close that gap as fast as possible. 

Than wasting time trying to figure out myself. 

That’s how smart Talent Wrks.  

What do you think?

Erm what actually happens in France?

Duolingo seems to be obsessed with personified cats?!

I can now also ask you if you’re a cat in French but not sure how useful that will be….

I was inspired by a comment exchange with George Tural yesterday.

He asked about the foundational selling communication skills and what they are.

So I've listed (some of) them below - 👉 what would you add?

(there are 800+ things I consider when creating messaging for a client- madness!)

#clearsalesmessage

====

✅ Knowing exactly WHO the buyer is

✅ Naming the real PROBLEM the buyer feels

✅ Stating a clear OUTCOME the buyer wants

✅ Explaining HOW IT WORKS in simple language

✅ Making the value OBVIOUS before the price

✅ Using the BUYER'S WORDS, not jargon

✅ Linking the offer to a TANGIBLE result

✅ Being clear on WHY someone should choose you

Are you Ahead of the click™ ... ? 

Working with Liam O'Leary and the wonderful team at Laser Red is hands down one of my most favourite clients.

Finding a simple way to articulate everything they do was the brief and it makes me smile every time I see a Laser Red post or messaging using the term.
