Was considering just calling this blog "Don't be a fu***ng seagull"

But the business metaphor that came to me was bigger than that. We expect the crows, but no one expects the seagulls!

Above all, be the buzzard! 🦅🦅🦅🦅👏👏👏

A powerful business lesson from a buzzard, crows and unexpected seagulls. Learn how resilient business owners rise above critics, distractions and doubt.

Grateful 🙏

Next weeks launch event for The Sales Room ®️ hasn’t event happened, September’s event isn’t even on the platforms yet and 6 tickets sold. 👏👊

We may have landed this right. 🙏

People want to develop their sales skills without feeling salesy, sleezy or nailing people to the floor with closing techniques which are nonsense!

Pleased to be bringing this huge value workshop to businesses across England and Wales and who knows, further afield in the future.

Three decades in the making, twelve months in the construction, three months in the marketing - let’s do this! 👊

Happy Friday folks - any questions, comment or drop us a message. 👍

Exciting news... in the last few days, 'The Sales Room®' has received its full trademark registration.

This event will run twice a year as a bookable event, exploring April & September as the two likely months.

Three decades in the making, 12 months in the construction, 3 months in the marketing, we launch next week.

Two full days where knowledge is transferred, learning is absorbed and then practiced, repeated, practiced, repeated in a safe environment, honing and sharpening the skills and more importantly the confidence to be the best version of you in front of your existing and potential customers.

Sales, properly.

What are you even doing in business?

Well this made us chuckle 🤭

Some of your next customers are already watching you.

Quietly.

They’ve read your posts.
Listened to your podcast.
Watched how you speak to people.
Observed your consistency.
Checked whether your values feel real.

And they’ve never liked a single thing.

The buyer journey has changed.

People are exhausted by funnels, fake urgency and performative marketing.

Trust is becoming quieter.
More human.
More emotional.
More observational.

The loudest businesses in the room may actually be losing the best buyers.

This shift is fascinating.

So we wrote about it.

Silent buyers are reshaping marketing and sales. Discover why buyers avoid funnels, distrust marketing tactics and purchase quietly through trust.

Some people join a business community for referrals.
Some join because they’re stuck.
Some because business ownership can feel a bit lonely at times.
Some because they’re tired of the fake guru nonsense and just want honest conversations with good people.

That’s more our vibe.

No chest beating.
No awkward serial networkers pitching s**t at every coffee break
No “let’s circle back”.

Just business owners supporting, challenging, championing and occasionally calling each other out with love.

Real conversations.
Real accountability.
Real people building businesses and lives they actually want.

We’ve built something a little different with Academy and honestly to be fair?

The video probably captures the energy better than words ever will. 👇
