I help consultants get clients on LinkedIn, using sales and content 🚀 Follow #RichTips for content

At some point it becomes obvious: your expertise isn’t the problem.
The real challenge is turning that expertise into consistent, high-value revenue.

Whether you lead a commercial team or run your own consultancy, gaining traction with potential clients on LinkedIn often feels harder than it should.

That’s where I come in.

I train leaders, consultants, and founders in the psychology of high-trust deal-making and sales. This helps individuals and teams move from interest to commitment without pressure or scripts.

My work blends behavioural psychology, strategic communication, and modern sales design.
More importantly, it comes from doing it:
22+ years of being a sales practitioner and $millions in converted deals.

Because theory is powerful
But you can't beat having done it too

Crucially, the help I give is for those who want to sell with nuance, credibility and long-term results.

Here’s what we focus on:
Strategic positioning: shaping how your expertise is perceived by buyers and decision-makers

Authority content: creating trust through clarity, not noise

Conversation design: turning dialogue into opportunity with structure and intent

Deal-flow mastery: applying timing, buyer psychology, and decision dynamics to close complex deals

I’ve worked with organisations from Microsoft and LinkedIn, to JP Morgan and Deloitte
Beyond this I've also coached thousands of consultants, coaches and founders

All of them have had the focus on refining how they sell and how they communicate

As a 2x LinkedIn Top Voice and LinkedIn Learning Instructor with five courses on sales and communication, studied by tens of thousands of professionals worldwide, I'm asked to work with professionals on their delivery, awareness of buyer state and the words that move a buyer to step forward. 

My communities, the LinkedIn Client Accelerator and Art of Sell, bring together over 500 members focused on mastering client acquisition and high-trust sales.

In the offline world I founded Entrepreneur Business Live, a global event series connecting business leaders to support local causes and I’ve delivered keynotes and lectures at Oxford University, Warwick Business School, University of Edinburgh, Nottingham, Pearson Business School and many more.

If you want to elevate how you or your team win clients, with more trust, depth, and commercial precision, this is where we start.

Founder - LinkedIn Client Accelerator

Imagine being such a badass that you:

- win Dragon's Den
- casually teach yourself Chinese
- are head of growth for a $200MM fund
- worked at Accenture then JP Morgan 
- and are a serial entrepreneur 

Such a person exists

And she's called Carina Cunha.

So I'm thrilled that she is tonight's Masterclass in Art of Sell

You see, it's easy to find a community with speakers that
- Present well
- Have lots of followers
- Can even show some results

But it's a completely different game when they operate at the highest level

Last week?
Our topic was copywriting
So the speaker had sold $1bn 
And worked at Ogilvy

Next week?
How to communicate for sales 
He's coached Oracle and T-Mobile
And over 65,000 have taken his courses

When I built this community I wanted one thing from the learning:
Excellence

Always ask this question:
"Am I listening because they're popular? 
Or am I listening because they're the best?"

What's your belief on this?

These 3 job stats are a worry: 72%, 51%, 44%
Because they show something serious going on:

The numbers are for 2023, 2024 and 2025 in terms of the % of candidates with multiple job offers in their most recent job search*

That's trending dramatically down.

What does this mean?

This:
If you are less likely to have options, then you need to change something. 

Especially as the employment market will only get more competitive.

So what to do?

Focus on you, more. Here's how:

Look, sending out a résumé and patiently waiting in line is asking for trouble.

Instead, proactivity is the solution.

So:
1. Share your opinions on LinkedIn
↳ You'll be asked them in an interview anyway. 
But now your answer reaches many.

2. Network up
↳ Connect with those that might hire/influence hiring decisions. 
But be human: conversation > a pitch for a job

3. Show up, just not in queues
↳ Waiting in line for an interview screams average. 
Instead, go to events to network. Even attend events here on LinkedIn. 

Having the inside edge like this is how you get noticed
And importantly, it starts useful conversations.
Those that hire love to see initiative. 

What else? 
Work on your communication:
- Persuasion, influence and articulation all matter. 
- Because when you work hard to get your foot in the door, you don't want to throw that opportunity because you didn't train how you'd show up.

How else can a job seeker be proactive?

PS These skills matter. 
Not just in getting a job but after, too. 
That's why my Art of Sell community isn't just for better pitches,
It's for better persuasion and mastery of communication.
Yesterday, we had Alicia Teltz show how to win with LinkedIn
Tomorrow, we have Ravi Rajani go deep on building trust
These are the skills for careers. Not just moments.

Bad advice can often sound good
So we think it's right. Here's an example:

Write content for 1 person
Talk about the 1 problem
Give them 1 solution

Part of this misses the mark.

And it's that middle line.

"Talk about the 1 problem"

You see, when you truly understand buyer behaviour, you realise something about "problems":
• You know what they are
• They usually don't

Typically, people don't fully know their problems
and they certainly haven't labelled them

For example:
- Business owners don't know their website's issue is its UX
- A patient with a cough won't know they have bronchitis
- CEOs don't think their problem is their personal brand

Problems require awareness

So you can see that speaking about problems often misses the mark.

You get it
Your peers get it
...and your engagement wrongly suggests your audience gets it

But the right people need it to relate more to what they're feeling now.

How do we fix this?

Instead of talking about the problem itself,
Speak to the symptoms of the problem:

Suddenly, the right people can relate to them
Because they're consciously living them
They're totally frustrated by them
They're fed up with them

It's a tiny nuance, but makes a massive difference

So,

Write content for 1 person
Focus on their symptoms 
Give them 1 next step

What are your customers' top symptoms?

Let's stop pretending the month is over.

It’s not.

And yet some are already winding down, half-writing off the last few days like they don’t count.

Let me remind you:
↳ Revenue doesn’t care what the calendar says
↳ Targets don’t adjust themselves because you “feel done”
↳ And prospects don’t progress themselves while you blow across your coffee and coast into December

We’ve got 4 working days. 

That’s not “wrap-up” time
It's close time

↳ The pros know it
↳ The high performers I know always have this attitude
↳ That top 1% are circling their opportunities

Meanwhile, others are forecasting
Because they're finished.

So ask yourself:
Are you done? 
Or are you hitting the end of the month?

Easing in vs finishing strong:
It's always interesting to see how people respond, this time of the year

You are an asset.

This mindset shift altered two things for me:
- The view of myself 
- My career in sales

Here's how you possibly see yourself right now:

You see yourself as a source of frustration to prospects
You feel their time is worth more than yours
You're concerned you're intruding

Instead, start viewing yourself as an asset and the solution to their problems.

If a potential prospect needs support, then you are providing it!

This is valuable and needed.

From that reframe, you're not an irritation nor imposing on them.

Only by recognizing how much you can contribute in solving problems will you start approaching your sales as the helpful advisor rather than a begging, needy salesperson.

So, show them you're the expert equipped to answer any question they might have. 

But the big thing is to also show up as someone proud to be able to assist them.

Your skills and expertise are what set you apart and make you an asset - so now it’s time to own it.

Be honest: how do you view it?

📌Hundreds of you have joined the Art of Sell so far and I can see why:
It's not just sessions on pitching, negotiation and delivery of price. 
It's also the adjacent topics on mindset, ego and linguistics. 
Pro-level customer acquisition is about being master of many areas
Not just one or too.

"This might not work"

Are you willing to say that?

According to Seth Godin, this is precisely what a leader should be willing to say to their team. 

Managers follow rules
They execute the plan
They deliver the thing 

But to volunteer. To say "I'll try this";
That is leadership.

So, 
↳ If you're doing the same as your peers
↳ If you're playing safe to only take part
↳ If you're letting others be the outliers

Then you're in the riskiest business of all.

Instead, we should be "dancing with the future".
Because it might just work.

To share a room with Seth and incredible leaders from 
- LuluLemon
- US Navy
- Schneider Electric
- Johnson Controls
- IKEA
and so many more, was a real gift this week.

Thank you to Brian Evergreen for hosting us in his The Future Solving Club. 
When you're invited to such spaces, grab them with open arms.

It's forums such as these that we can learn from the best, especially with a peer group of winners.

The Biskery is an online business specialising in personalised and branded biscuits. 
The real product however is kindness. 
Not only do we help spread kindness in biscuit form, we capitalise on kindness in all aspects of the business - from the way we interact with customers and staff to the impact we have on our planet. 

Our vision is to introduce more female qualities to the business world, remove the stigma associated with working mothers, and run a purposeful business that enables women to combine a career with motherhood - without the guilt.

The business flourished during the pandemic, and we have doubled our revenue year on year for the past three years. 

What started as a home bakery and a £1,000 investment from our own pockets is now a purpose-led bootstrapped business supplying the likes of KPMG, PwC, The BBC, Amazon, Meta, Ann Summers, Monzo, Karl Lagerfeld, Fendi, Moynat, and many more. 

We make the world a little bit sweeter, one biscuit at a time. We only sell online via our web site, Yumbles, and Not On The High Street. We have no minimum order volume, and cater to both B2C (the consumer, biscuit gifts for special occasions), and B2B (branded biscuits for corporate events, launches and as staff and client gifts). 

We use high quality ingredients (free-range eggs, British butter) and eco-friendly packaging (compostable bags, recyclable boxes). 

Every biscuit is made my hand, and we pride ourselves in providing world class customer service and a great customer experience from start to finish.

Do you know when International Men's Day is?





It's today.

Why would a business that’s all about uplifting working women and mums pause for a moment to spotlight men? 
 
Because some statistics simply can’t be ignored:

😱 Prostate cancer kills more men than breast cancer kills women
😱 Men account for 75% of suicides in the UK
😱 Male employees suffer 96% of all workplace deaths
😱 Men represent 84% of the homeless

Numbers this stark demand everyone’s attention and action.
 
In honour of International Men's Day, we set out on a new kind of kindness campaign. 
Alongside inspiring leaders in business and sport, we created a way for men to express what’s often left unsaid, with thoughtfully crafted biscuits designed to spark real conversations.
 
Watch what happens when men showcase they care.

Thank you Saskia Roskam 🍪for creating this campaign, and thank you to everyone who contributed to it❤️
