Why Everyone MUST Sell

I wear glasses. I don’t like them. They fall off when I’m rock climbing, they reflect the studio lights when I’m recording the Salesman Podcast and are distracting to the audience.

How To Secure An Appointment With Anybody (Step By Step)

In my medical device sales team I was always the second quietest. The person who was the most quiet  rotated regularly as they were routinely sacked and replaced. I always assumed I was next.

How To Talk To Anybody, Anywhere (And Build A Network)

I’ve never have had that many friends. Until I started the Salesman Podcast I never had a large business network. There’s a couple of reasons why – It takes me a while to trust people I don’t like asking people for stuff I used to feel like “just big enough” was OK I still have a […]

200: I Share How I Make My Money, The Sales School And The Future Of The Salesman Podcast

This episode of the Salesman Podcast is a special one. There’s no guests, there’s no actionable insights.

You’re going to enjoy it even more than the usual shows!

To celebrate the milestone of 200 episodes of the Salesman Podcast being published I’m sharing with you-

The journey of having to move in with a friend to keep costs down to having a full studio set up
How I make my income and keep the show growing
The Sales School is unveiled
I also wanted to take a breath and thank you, Sales Nation for watching and listening to each of these episodes.

Without you there would be no show, I wouldn’t be living my dream as a content creator and together we wouldn’t have the impact that we do in the sales industry.

Why Being Scared Made Me A Great Sales Person (And a Tonne of Money)

The instant I got my first sales job, I was a great sales person. Not wanting to brag or anything but I was pushed in the deep end and entered with a double somersault and no splash. Why? Luck? No… Because I was scared of rejection. The idea of asking someone a bunch of questions, […]

198: Get Passionate Or GTFO! With Jim Keenan

Sales expert Jim Keenan comes on today’s show to give us all the kick in the ass that we need.

I wanted to discuss the idea that passion helps close deals but Keenan took it one step further.

He’s amendment that if you’re not passionate about sales, your product and the difference you’re making in the world then you need to get the f$$k out.

We spend too much time in our jobs not to be passionate about the impact where having. Cliche I know but life is just too short.

PS. Being passionate does make closing deals easier :).
