Advertise on podcast: The Daily Sales Message | Sales Tips, Messaging + Conversion Psychology

You went to the networking event, had good chats, and a week later nobody remembers who you are. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why most people are forgotten after networking events, how a conversational prop makes you instantly memorable, and simple ways to stand out visually without spending a penny. The whole point of networking is being remembered. But in a room full of people dressed the same and saying similar things, everyone blends together. You can do everything right in the conversation and still be forgotten by Friday. Following on from yesterday's episode on introducing yourself, James shares an easy fix. Bring a conversational prop. Something visual that links to your business, or a bold item of clothing that catches the eye. People are visual. In a room of 30, you'll probably be the only one doing it, because everyone says it's a great idea and then never tries it.

You tell people your job title and watch their eyes glaze over. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why your job title is the weakest way to introduce yourself, how to open with the problem you solve instead, and how to get a room to connect with what you do. At a networking event, someone asks what you do. Most people answer with what they are. "I'm a solicitor." "I'm a consultant." But that leaves the other person doing all the work. They have to figure out what that means, and whether they'd ever need you. Usually they don't bother. James shares the number one piece of advice he gave at a recent networking event. Start with the problem you solve. Ask if anyone's worried about it. Then tell them that's what you fix. Your job title can come later, or not at all. When people recognise the problem, they lean in.

The meeting went well, they said they'd be in touch, and now you feel awkward chasing them. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: what sellers can learn from the way dentists book your next appointment, why "let's catch up soon" quietly kills deals, and how to agree a clear next step with a date before the call ends. Most sales meetings end with good intentions and nothing booked. Both sides say they'll follow up. Then the buyer gets busy, the follow up feels weird, and the deal drifts away. Not because they said no. Because nobody decided what happens next. James uses a trip to the dentist to show how simple the fix is. Before the conversation ends, say what the best next step is, what it will achieve, and offer a specific date. Book it while you're both there. It's not pushy. It's leadership. You're helping the buyer solve their problem, so show them the way forward.

You're asking all the right discovery questions, but the buyer is going cold on you. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why firing off too many questions breaks trust with buyers, why you should ask one question at a time, and how to respond to answers so the buyer feels heard. Sellers are told to ask lots of questions. So they do. One after another, like ticking boxes on a form. The buyer starts to feel like they're in an interview, not a conversation. Their answers don't seem to change anything, so why bother giving good ones? James calls this machine gun questioning, and explains how it quietly kills the connection between buyer and seller. The fix is simple. Ask one question. Actually listen. Then acknowledge what they said and adapt before you move on. That's what makes a buyer feel valued, and it makes the whole sale feel easier.

Your buyer has gone quiet and every follow up you write sounds like "just checking in". . 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: the one question to ask in every sales conversation, why buyer deadlines give you a reason to follow up, and how to word a follow up that actually gets a reply. . Most follow ups get ignored because they're about the seller. You want an update. They don't owe you one. So you end up touching base, checking in and slowly becoming background noise. . James explains a simple fix. Ask the buyer when they need this done by. Listen. Write it down and set a reminder. When they go quiet, you come back to them on a date that matters to them, not you. It feels less pushy, it's more useful, and it gets people moving. .

Ever had a buyer ask a question that made your mind go completely blank? 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why preparation is the fastest route to sales confidence, how to handle the questions you dread before they come up, and why you should know your answers without memorising a script. Most people don't lack confidence because they're bad at selling. They lack it because they're trying to come up with good answers live, under pressure, with the buyer waiting. That's when you waffle, ramble or cave on price. James shares a free exercise that changes this. Grab a pen, paper and a coffee. Write down every question a buyer could ask, especially the awkward ones like "you're too expensive". Answer them when there's no pressure. Get familiar with the argument, not the exact words, and your confidence goes up fast.

You send a follow up and the first words are "sorry to bother you". Then you wonder why they don't reply. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why apologising signals low status, how it makes buyers doubt you, and what to say instead when you follow up. Most sellers apologise to be polite. "Sorry to trouble you." "Hope I'm not intruding." "We're not that expensive." It feels like good manners. But to a buyer it sounds like you're not confident in what you're offering. James explains why you should drop the apologies when you follow up or make an offer. If you believe your product can help, act like it. Skip the sorry and go straight to your question or the useful thing you came to share.

Your buyer feels pushed. So they back off, go quiet, or say "let me think about it." 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why giving buyers permission to walk away makes them more likely to buy, how to say it without sounding weak, and why needy selling kills deals. Most sellers do the opposite. They use pressure, scarcity and tactics to get a yes. But buyers are already deciding whether to say no. Pretending they can't just makes them more guarded. James explains the pushback. Tell the buyer you'd love to work with them, then remind them the decision is theirs. It sounds risky. But it makes people feel safe, confident and in control. Some will walk away, and that's fine. The ones who stay buy with more confidence, because you weren't needy.

You send the follow up. Then you wait. And nothing comes back. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why "checking in" gets ignored, how to give buyers a real reason to reply, and the simple test to run before you hit send. Most follow ups are written for the seller. Have you had any questions? Are you ready to buy? Just touching base. They're all about moving your deal forward, and the buyer can feel it. So they don't reply. James explains why the fix is to flip the question. Not "what do I want?" but "what will give them a reason to respond?" Lead with value. Leave people better than you found them. And if you can't spot a reason for them to reply, your follow up isn't ready to send.

You delivered what you promised. So why is your client still unhappy? 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: The one question that massively increases your chances of selling Why your buyer's idea of success is how they'll score you How to spot what you can't deliver before it becomes a problem Every buyer has a picture in their head of what good looks like. That picture is what they'll judge you on. But very few sellers ask about it. They deliver the product or service, then they're shocked when the buyer feels let down. James explains why "what does success look like for you?" is one of the most powerful questions in sales. Whatever words you use, the aim is the same. Find out how you're being measured. Then focus on hitting those markers. And if there's something you can't deliver, you get to talk about it early, before anyone is disappointed.

Your buyer said yes. Now they want a refund because it turned out to be more work than they expected. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why effort is the missing piece in most sales conversations, how it causes refunds and regret, and how explaining it can win back buyers who say they haven't got time. Most sellers talk about the problem they solve and the result the buyer gets. That's good. But buyers are also quietly asking a third question. How much work is this going to be for me? If you don't answer it, they guess. And they often guess wrong. James explains how effort cuts both ways. Make it sound too hard and people walk away when they didn't need to. Hide it and people buy, then regret it. Being upfront about time, effort and who does what stops buyer's remorse and gives hesitant buyers the confidence to go ahead.

Your buyer likes what you do. They just can't picture what they'll actually get. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why vague claims stall deals, how to turn your results into numbers buyers can trust, and what to do when your result can't be measured. "Save time." "Boost efficiency." "Make more money." Every seller says it. Buyers hear it so often it goes straight past them. The vaguer your promise, the harder it is to say yes, because there's nothing solid to stand on. James explains why buyers want concrete results. Clear numbers and clear timeframes. And when your work can't be measured that way, he shows how a simple 1 to 10 scale, the same one hospitals use for pain, still gives buyers something real to hold on to.

You tell the buyer what they get. But do they actually know what they're getting? 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: why buyers don't want your hours, how to turn your time into a clear deliverable, and why your buyer needs something they can justify to someone else. If you sell by the hour, the day or the retainer, your buyer has to work out what that time is worth. Most won't. They just see a cost. And when someone in finance asks "what are we actually paying for?", your buyer has nothing to say. I break down how to switch from selling what you do to selling what they're really buying. Nobody wants two gym sessions a week for six weeks. They want to lose the weight. You have to do that thinking for your buyer, be specific, and package it so the outcome is obvious.

Your pitch opens with company history. Your buyer has already switched off. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: - What syntax means and why the order you say things matters - Why opening with your company story loses the room - The best way to start every sales conversation Most sales presentations start in the wrong place. A bit about the company. When it was founded. A round of introductions where everyone shares a fun fact. Buyers sit through it politely, but they're thinking one thing: can you help us or not? In this episode I explain syntax, the posh word for the order of things. Change the order and you change the meaning. In sales, that means getting to the point. Start with the buyer's problem, show how you'll solve it, get them interested. The backstory can come later, if at all.

The deal is close. Then you lay out the next steps and your buyer goes quiet. 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: - Why telling buyers the next steps can create resistance - The simple question that hands them a bit of control - What to do if they say "I don't know" When you tell a buyer exactly what happens next, it can feel like they're being pushed down a track. Even if the steps are sensible, it adds tension. And tension slows deals down. In this episode I share a small switch. Instead of "here are the next steps," ask "what would you like to do from here?" or "where's the best place for you to start?" You still know the plan. But the buyer feels in control, which makes them far more likely to keep moving. Worst case, they're not sure, and you carry on as normal.
