This week, my guest on the Extremely Successful Sales Club podcast is the fabulous Simon Hares, who is recognised by LinkedIn as a top voice in all things sales and sales management.

You're going to love this episode, where - amongst (many) other things - Simon tackles the common misconceptions about pricing and trust in sales - sharing his wisdom on maintaining firm pricing to convey true value, while highlighting the timeless importance of trust and personal connections.

We discuss how to steer clear of fleeting sales fads and embrace the enduring principles that keep human connections at the heart of successful sales, even as AI continues to rise.

He also challenges the status quo about the role of sales leadership post training – and how they need to pick up the baton beyond the training sessions - ensuring that concepts are put into practice through continuous coaching and team support.

And wait until you get to his opinions regarding innovation – just brilliant - as he explains the role of video messaging in modern sales strategies.

And you’ll learn how a simple shift to video communication can enhance client engagement and create personal connections that traditional methods might miss.

From effective follow-up techniques to creating a respected company culture, this episode is packed with insights and actionable advice to elevate your sales game.

Join us as we celebrate the art of prospecting and the joy of nurturing sales team talent – all while maintaining a consistent content strategy that keeps you ahead in the sales game.

To Your success,

If you are responsible for uncovering some new business this year and this podcast episode with the fabulous Benjamin Dennehy doesn’t deliver some information that will prove incredibly useful to help you do just that – while making you smile at the same time – I will be amazed.

Benjamin is a man you might know better by his working title the “UK's Most Hated Sales Trainer” - which may or may not be true - what is beyond doubt though, is how much this man knows about sales.

If you’ve watched any of his videos or seen him speak you’ll know he will happily pick up the phone and make a cold call in front of a live audience – this man walks the talk and then some - and I promise you - he is going to shake up how you think about your sales role over the next 30 minutes.

• Why you need to STOP answering questions
• How he successfully booked an appointment with a cold prospect – even though the prospect had no idea who he was or what he did – even at the end of the call – with the appointment in the diary
• Why you should have no emotional attachment to the outcome of your sales calls

And that doesn’t even cover half of it 😊

Be warned, there is an element of strong language in this episode – if you are easily offended, this might not be the episode for you
