Selling To Corporate

In episode 150, “Top 3 things to change if you want sustainable, predictable revenue,” Jess takes an honest look at what's actually driving revenue in the B2B sales world right now. If you're a coach, consultant, trainer, or any kind of service provider who dreams of reliable income, switching off for the summer, and still signing corporate clients… this is the episode you can't afford to skip. As May ushers in a critical sales window before the quiet summer months, Jess kicks off by sharing how she uses this quarter to finalise deals and take the summer off - focusing on making sure business is set up for success so she (and you!) can unplug without worrying about finances. But while she's going to be relaxing, she wants you to be equally strategic—especially given growing misconceptions in the business world about what actually works for B2B sales in 2025.  Key Takeaways in This Episode 1. What corporates actually are—and why this matters. Jess clarifies what counts as a “corporate” for the purposes of this podcast: organisations that are not solopreneur-run, have permanent employees, a board or higher structure, and operate in both private and public sectors. If you're targeting founder-led micro-businesses, the B2B tactics you hear about online likely won't work for true corporates. 2. The dangers of misguided sales activities. Too many business owners are spending hours posting on LinkedIn, engaging in comment pods, building elaborate funnels, or writing books—believing these are “sales activities.” Jess is blunt: these are NOT going to land you corporate contracts. HR managers are not scrolling LinkedIn newsfeeds to find their next coach or consultant. Corporate buyers aren't signing up for your webinar funnel or being wowed by your ebook. If you're getting engagement but not deals, this is likely why. 3. The real reasons for B2B revenue plateaus (or dips). Jess unpacks why those revenue highs expected in the new year often fail to materialise—energy fizzles, pipelines aren't as full as predicted, and sales plateau. Many fall for the myth that it's “just the market” or their pricing, when in fact, they are simply not spending time on the right actions. She stresses that clutter, complexity, and intelligent overthinking can get in the way of simple, repeatable sales behavior that actually converts. Don't get stuck in learning more, consuming content, or trying to prove your worth with more certifications! 4. The reality of the current B2B market. Ignore the chatter from non-practitioners who claim “corporates aren't buying.” Jess's proven strategies, used by over 20,000 clients (with a 90%+ success rate), continue to deliver wins—even in a tough market. The companies succeeding are the ones focused on proactive, not passive, behaviors. 5. Proactive sales strategies that work. Replace endless marketing with smart, measurable, sales-focused actions: Direct, well-researched outreach to decision makers. Tracking metrics and troubleshooting what actually moves the sales pipeline. Using proven scripts, strategies, and templates grounded in years of corporate sales experience. Jess's clients are still landing deals—even their biggest months ever—by ditching content for conversation and focusing on relationship-based sales approaches. 6. Your opportunity: The Cold to Closed Live Sales Experience Jess announces an exciting, brand new live sales experience: Cold to Closed. If you want to sign corporate clients in 90 days or less (and you're not quite ready for her C Suite ® program), this is for you.

Jess breaks down the key trends and insights that will shape the corporate market this year, offering strategies to help you navigate the complexities of today's economic climate. From understanding the increased use of external consultants by organizations to identify growth sectors like AI and ESG, Jess provides a roadmap for building a stable sales pipeline.  With economic challenges ahead, it's vital to focus on building a stable B2B sales pipeline and enhance your sales skills. Companies are set to spend billions, and external consultants will be in high demand. Whether you're exploring new corporate revenue streams or adjusting strategies, understanding these trends is key for navigating success. This episode is a must-listen if you're looking to adapt your business strategies for success in 2025 and beyond. So, whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the corporate sales game, this episode is sure to provide some much-needed inspiration and direction. In this episode I'm sharing; Navigating Economic Challenges: Building a Stable Sales Pipeline for 2025 and Beyond Selling to Corporate in 2025: Insights and Strategies for Success How Economic Changes Impact B2C and B2B: Lessons for Small Business Owners The Current Landscape: 2025 is brimming with potential, despite the economic challenges. UK corporates alone are expected to spend £15.7 billion on external consulting, which includes diverse opportunities for coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and service providers. Corporate Opportunities: Companies are dynamically adjusting to global changes, and more than half intend to increase their use of external consultants over the next year. This is your chance to step in with the right sales skills. Key Quotes; Redefining Work-Life Balance: "I have cut my working week down significantly, by a day and a half a week, which is something that I never thought I would be able to do because I'm obsessive about work." 00:01:5700:02:09 "Those companies who are selling anything high ticket to consumers will already have plans in place and they will already have the data around in recessive or economically difficult environments. And they already have risk departments and very very experienced financial professionals who will predict these kind of things and that company will have been gearing itself up to make it through these kinds of environments, which is why it's much easier for them as large organisations who've been through this kind of thing before to predict how they are going to survive and thrive through an economically uncertain environment rather than you or me." 00:37:0600:37:51 "Now what was really interesting during my period of research for this episode was the fact that 58% of companies say that they are going to be using external consultants more in the next twelve months than they have previously. In fact, only 1% of companies said that they would use external consultants less." 00:39:2600:39:51 Investing in Sales Strategy: "And if you don't invest in your sales strategy... you are going to struggle this year." 00:56:5900:57:02   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Click here for the Cold Email Outreach Conversion Course here.    Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process.!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

Spring is here, the sun is shining, and it's the perfect time to revamp your B2B sales strategies. With the new financial year underway, we have three crucial months to maximise our corporate sales efforts before the summer relaxation kicks in. In our latest episode of Selling to Corporate ®, we've tackled an often-overlooked topic: buying indicators on B2B sales calls. Many of us may not even realise we're missing these, and it's costing us potential revenue. I am looking  into the world of buying indicators and how they play an essential role in enhancing your B2B sales process. As we kick off the new financial year, it's crucial to identify these indicators and navigate sales calls with confidence.   In this episode I'm sharing; Buying Indicators Explained What are buying indicators? These are verbal or nonverbal cues that show a prospect's interest in progressing with a sales process. Jess emphasises the importance of recognizing them to avoid missing opportunities. Handling Practical Questions and Objections Jess touches on how questions about terms and conditions, or potential objections like the need for cancellation clauses, are often positive buying indicators rather than signs of disinterest. They're part of the prospect considering the practicalities of working with a supplier. Objections as Positive Indicators Jess assures us that objections during sales calls should be seen as positive indicators. These conversations are vital as they are opportunities for deeper engagement and understanding, potentially leading to successful conversions. As we move into April with its fresh start to the financial year, it's the prime time to hone your sales strategies before the summer relaxation mode sets in. We're exploring a critical aspect of the sales process that many, even seasoned sales professionals, tend to overlook: buying indicators. These are the subtle cues, both verbal and non-verbal, that signal a prospect's interest in progressing further. Understanding these indicators can make the difference between a stagnant sales pipeline and one that flourishes with corporate contracts. Jess breaks down the concept of buying indicators, starting with the fundamental question, “What is a buying indicator?” Simply put, it's any sign that suggests a potential client is interested in advancing the sales process. This could be as overt as a prospect leaning in with enthusiasm during a meeting or as nuanced as a thoughtful question about your service terms and conditions. But why are these indicators often missed? Jess points out that many people, including those with a strong understanding of sales theory, don't actively look for these cues in real-time interactions. This episode doesn't just define what these indicators are but also guides listeners on how to navigate them effectively, particularly when they don't seem obviously positive. If you're struggling to convert more in your sales calls, Jess suggests focusing on not just recognising buying indicators but also refining your overall sales strategy. By aligning every step of your sales funnel—from lead generation to the final closing—you can maximise every opportunity and keep your pipeline active and robust.   Sales is not just about outcomes but the journey. Recognising the two positive buying indicators—enthusiastic engagement and thoughtful objections—can provide you with the competitive edge needed in today's corporate sales environment. So, take these insights, apply them, and see how they transform your approach, leading to more dynamic sales conversations and successful closings.

Ready to analyse the first 90 days of 2025 from a sales perspective? In this episode we're not about pointing fingers or dwelling on what could have been done differently. Instead, it's about helping you make objective, data-driven decisions to set a successful course for the rest of the year. We're having an in-depth discussion on ninety-day analysis—what it is, why it's effective, and how it can provide critical early insights into your sales trajectory. Jess shares her excitement about recent events and highlights the positive impact that in-person interactions have on strategy and support, specifically praising her boardroom event and the Converting Corporates session. She talks passionately about how being in a room filled with like-minded entrepreneurs and business professionals, sharing common goals and energies, can significantly boost your motivation and clarity. These events showcase the power of collaboration and community in driving individual success. Transitioning into the core content, Jess emphasizes the importance of using data to assess your current path realistically. With a mix of humor and practicality, she introduces the key troubleshooting questions you need to ask: How many leads have you engaged in a lead generation cycle this quarter? How many qualified sales calls have occurred? What is the number of qualified proposals you've sent out? How many sales have you successfully closed? What's your average transaction value? These critical questions are designed to provide a clear picture of your sales funnel's effectiveness and highlight areas needing refinement. Jess explains that these metrics can pinpoint where your sales process might be faltering, whether it's the lead generation stage, conversion to calls, or closing deals. Moreover, Jess shares insights into what separates the most successful salespeople, stressing the importance of focusing on the right activities. Successful individuals in sales don't chase after trends or engage in comparison with others; instead, they maintain unwavering focus on their strategies and execution. Jess believes that implementing a proven strategy with full accountability, alongside honing specific skills, is pivotal for consistent success. We're also looking at the collective anxiety about trying new things or fear of failure, which is a barrier for many. Jess reassures listeners by encouraging a mindset shift—from fearing negative outcomes to leveraging data-driven decisions to fuel confident actions. Toward the episode's end, Jess urges listeners to evaluate their own sales processes—do you have a strategic approach, are they implementing effectively, and is there accountability from knowledgeable peers? If any of these elements are missing, it might be time to seek out support structures that can provide these missing pieces. In the spirit of continuous improvement, Jess invites the audience to send their sales numbers for an analysis if they are unsure about where their process might be falling short. This gesture not only offers practical help but also reinforces the community aspect she champions throughout the episode. Whether you're already seeing success or searching for ways to improve your Q2 performance, this episode serves as a comprehensive guide to refining your sales strategies for sustained success. Tune in to transform how you approach your sales activities and enjoy a fuller, more rewarding path to your business goals.

If you're stuck in a reactive sales cycle, feeling overwhelmed every new month with zero sales on the board, then this episode is perfect for you!  Discover the secrets of the 'thirty day sales mindset' - and learn how to set the right sales foundation for growth. Whether you're struggling with lead generation, sales call conversions, or are finding that your content isn't bringing the results you need, Jess breaks down the necessary steps to troubleshoot your sales process and prioritise revenue-generating activities. So, if you are one of those people who have just realised that you are IN the year but haven't managed to take full action yet? Then now is the time to get your outreach done before you get left behind. You can grab my proven Cold Outreach Course by heading to: https://smartleaderssell.thrivecart.com/cold-email-outreach-conversion-course/ and say goodbye to revenue roller coasters and hello to predictable sales results!     In this episode I'm sharing; 1. What is a real 30 day sales mindset? This is actually designed to be 30 days of sales focus where trained salespeople set the right sales foundations for moving into new markets/ setting themselves up for success.   2. What is it in the entrepreneur world? Unfortunately, it's the focus that most people have because they start at 0 sales every month. So instead of actually taking a step back to set the right foundations / give themselves time to really learn, set the sales stage and do... they just bounce reactively from month - month revenue and never progress their results.   3. What's the impact? Less growth in your sales (year on year) reactive/ rollercoaster revenue, high pressure delivery months + overwhelm, selling at discounted rates to just get sales through the door, no pipeline development/ lead generation so stalls your sales later down the line even if you're not seeing it now. Basically when used without a strategy like my cash injection for corporate strategy, it's just a dangerous hand - mouth way of running your business as a coach/ consultant/ speaker / trainer/ DFY and ends up with burnt out service providers who struggle to sell.   4. What to do instead? If you're already seeing this impacting your business OR recognise the signs? You need to do something now. You can absolutely set good foundations in place if you know how to manage setting foundations and balance that with critical sales activities. If you don't? You need to get the cold outreach course now and start putting that outreach plan in place OR message me to find out where your gaps are and start fixing them properly. Remember, in a changing market + challenging economy, the worst thing you can do is ignore early signs... it'll cost you more later.   Key Quotes; The Pitfalls of the Thirty Day Sales Mindset: "I'm seeing more people than ever being super burnt out and overwhelmed because they're bouncing reactively month to month." 00:23:3400:23:41 "Reassess and Refocus for Real Revenue: This is a perfect time at the end of your first ninety days of 2025 to be reassessing what your actual sales numbers are and what your real revenue generating activity has been like." 00:03:5200:04:07   "The Key to Consistent Revenue": "Putting those foundational pieces in place, having that laser focus sales mindset and actually doing the right things, troubleshooting your sales process and fixing the right gaps, it's going to make you way more money, way more quickly than doing something fancy." 00:53:3800:53:55 The Revenue Roller Coaster: "And all of this combined means that from a revenue perspective, we end up on this reactive roller coaster feast and famine revenue cycle, where we bounce around from doing lots and lots and lots of short term sales activities that are designed to generate short term revenue." 00:32:4700:33:04 Listen in for exclusive tips, actionable insights, and a special offer on the Cold Outreach Conversion Course to help you reach your sales goals with confidence and clarity.  Head to The Cold Email Outreach Conversion Course using the coupon code PODCAST.

Are you struggling to convert your corporate leads into clients? In our latest Selling to Corporate ® podcast episode, I reveal the number one piece of content you truly need: a corporate newsletter. Instead of getting lost in the endless cycle of social media posts, focus on a well-crafted newsletter to book sales calls and engage decision makers. It's a game changer in the B2B world! Whether your list is big or small, this strategy can transform your sales pipeline. Tune in today and discover why content on LinkedIn won't pay your bills—but the right newsletter strategy just might!   In this episode I'm sharing; Why corporate newsletters are your best tool to book sales calls How to avoid content traps and leverage corporate newsletters for sales conversions Common misconceptions about corporate newsletters The importance of content in corporate sales Why you should attend this year's Converting Corporate Event   Key Quotes; "A corporate newsletter done well is actually one of the best sales tools that you can have in your business B2B." 00:17:4800:17:54 "Your list size is irrelevant when you're thinking about your corporate newsletter because these are people who are actively engaged in your area of specialism and who are most likely to pay you." 00:24:4000:24:54 "Having a newsletter, however you choose to create, is integral for your business. It's absolutely integral for booking sales calls with people who have not yet converted." 00:35:2600:35:38 "No; creating endless amounts of content is not going to help me make cash." 00:16:0300:16:08  "You are never going to have to post again on LinkedIn if you don't want to. And you're going to do something else that is much, much better and actually going to book you sales calls with qualified stakeholders." 00:03:4600:03:56 "If you are not booking five or more qualified sales calls a month with prospects in the corporate space, you, a, need a newsletter, and, b, really need to be working on improving your sales strategy." 00:27:2700:27:40   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Tickets are now on sale here for the Converting Corporates Event 2025.   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process.!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

I was so excited to record today's podcast on whether you should be hiring a salesperson to build your B2B revenue! It may be a slightly controversial topic but stick around to learn about the practical reasons why hiring a salesperson might not be the right move for your business at this stage, the high costs and risk factors involved, and how to ensure a successful onboarding process if you do choose to hire.  If you've been considering adding a salesperson to your team or have already done so with less-than-stellar results, then tune in. I'll also be addressing the frustrations many business owners felt last year about generating revenue and the challenges of building out a sales process and helping you to understand the key considerations you need to take into account before making the decision as to whether you should hire a salesperson to build your B2B revenue! Plus, I'll share how and when to invest in your own sales skills through resources like The C Suite ® to build a proven, metrics-driven sales process that sets your business up for scalable success. In this episode I'm sharing; Should you hire a salesperson to boost your B2B revenue in 2025? The pros and cons of hiring salespeople for small business success Is hiring a salesperson the right move for your growing B2B business? Key considerations before hiring a salesperson for your coaching or consulting business Building a proven sales process before hiring and essential tips When to hire a salesperson and when to train yourself instead Common pitfalls in hiring salespeople for small businesses Why you might want to rethink hiring a salesperson right now The high stakes of hiring salespeople for a small business under 150k revenue Effective sales process training: Your path to hiring success Key Quotes; "When coaches and consultants and service-based business owners generally are thinking about hiring a salesperson, they can be so caught up in the fact they just don't want to do sales activity, or they just hate sales and want to get rid of that job, that they don't necessarily, prepare in the best way for having a salesperson." 00:14:1900:14:40 "So if you're somebody who is generating less than 150 k a year in revenue yourself for your own business, then a salesperson probably shouldn't be top of your list for hiring." 00:03:5800:04:10 "It doesn't matter what you call a salesperson, whether you're saying that you want a closer or a new biz development exec or an account manager, unless you know what skills are required in those roles and how to interview to find out whether those people have those skills, it's going to be a very, very time consuming lengthy process." 00:29:1100:29:39 "What you will find is that the best salespeople out there are usually the most expensive. So unless you've got something that is going to help set them up for success right from the beginning, you could end up paying a very, very high salary, a very high monthly cost for somebody who arguably could have been absolutely phenomenal, when working for a large company where they were adequately supported." 00:34:2900:34:58 "Most companies will actually give salespeople, new salespeople, a grace period where they don't actually have to bill or they don't expect them to bill." 00:18:2700:18:37   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Tickets are now on sale here for the Converting Corporates Event 2025.   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process.!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

Right? That's why most of us start businesses."00:10:4500:11:01 "The market has shifted politically and economically which means that, with more redundancies come more people who are freelancing or going into freelancing and will be trying to sell their own consulting coaching services back into companies they already worked with. Which will mean more competition for people like you, who have been trying to sell to corporate." 00:23:5400:24:18 "If you're somebody who is incredibly self motivated, driven, knows that once you've got the strategies and techniques, you're really, really good at making that time to implement, then the self study is absolutely for you.” 00:34:3500:34:49 “If you're somebody who is feeling overworked, overwhelmed and you want to be working with organisations in a strategic or a more long term, higher price point way, you want to be thinking about sales mindset and how you can create a more predictable pipeline so that you're not actually worried, or having that kind of fear around losing clients because you raise your rates or because you set boundaries with them. Instead work on that resilience piece and put in place practical pipeline driving methods that are going to help you sign sales on repeat where you don't have to worry about them." 00:45:4900:46:28 "So if your sales are taking longer than that to go through, particularly if they're lower than a 100k, you have a sales problem or part of your sales process isn't working as it should."00:41:4600:41:57   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Tickets are now on sale here for the Converting Corporates Event 2025.   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process.!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

Transparent communication Stay positive!   Key Quotes;   "Just set those SMART goals that are going to actually feel real, and that you can commit to for the year ahead." - 00:12:0600:12:12 "An important topic that I am going to be covering later in the quarter on the podcast is the trends that are going to be seen in the B2B sales space this year because it is going to be changing with the rise and influx of new people starting to realise that the corporate sales space is actually super lucrative and really, really impactful." - 00:02:5900:03:26 "I'm prioritising or continuing to prioritise transparent and empowering sales communication that helps my prospects make informed decisions." - 00:18:3600:18:47 "If you're listening and you're somebody who's maybe been a bit afraid of succeeding in the past because you're worried that if you succeed you'll end up with too many clients, too much overwhelm, just too much going on. Pair it back and start trying to flip the switch and think about how much you enjoy those experiences and how you can be more intentional about what you create, how you can run a sales process that allows you to create those experiences without overwhelm." - 00:24:2600:24:53 "I think a lot of people really had challenging experiences in 2024 when it came to sales, in general, whether that was B2B or B2C. I think that a lot of people had very difficult personal and professional challenges that they experienced in 2024, which really took their toll, mentally." - 00:05:4700:06:09 "Having goals and setting them in the way that works for you is an integral part of your sales journey.

As we wrap up another incredible year, I'm really excited to share the final episode of Selling to Corporate ®of 2024: 3 lessons learned from supporting corporate clients in 2024, the importance of a robust sales process, the joy of working on large customised projects and the benefits of consistent daily sales activities to avoid that feast-famine cycle.  This year has been a journey filled with invaluable insights, high-impact projects, and the joy of seeing our community thrive. I want to thank each of you for your continued support and engagement. Your feedback is invaluable, please keep sharing your thoughts to help shape future podcast episodes. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year! In this episode I'm sharing; Insights and trends for 2024 sales success. Exciting new projects in business development coaching. Embrace effective sales processes for future success. The importance of consistent daily sales activities to avoid the feast-famine cycle. The importance of a solid sales process, particularly during market shifts. Consistent communication styles across different client types. Importance of adapting sales processes to market changes, especially with increasing competition in 2025. Key Quotes; "Part of my job and probably the biggest part of my job is to identify new trends and opportunities to companies so that they can support their sales staff in increasing their performance by a couple of percent." 00:08:4600:09:00 "As a business owner, it's very easy to fall into that feast famine sales cycle where you end up with a lot of work and a lot of delivery at one point, and then you're too burned out, tired and overwhelmed to do any kind of business development." 00:26:4000:26:56 The Hidden Danger of Ignoring Sales Training: "Over 80% of people said that they wanted to increase their revenue in 2025, but there was such a high percentage of people who said that they don't invest in sales training, that they haven't historically allocated budget for sales training for themselves, and that they have not set a sales training budget for themselves in 2025." 00:35:5900:36:15 Investing in Success: "There is a big difference between, for me, investment and expense. And I think a lot of people as new business owners or business owners that have been in less than 5 years, look at investments like expenses. And so if you're thinking about any investments, whether it's sales training or anything else into your business next year, you need to be thinking not in terms of the initial cost, but in terms of what you think you're going to get back, what skills you're going to bring in." 00:40:2200:40:34 "Love Your Sales Process in 2025": "So in 2025, regardless of what else you do, you need to learn to love your sales process. You need to learn to put something in place that's going to work for you, for your business, for your capacity, for your personality, so that you can get the results that you want." 00:49:2600:49:42   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Tickets are now on sale here for the Converting Corporates Event 2025.   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process.!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

In this episode I'm sharing; The C Suite ® revamps for 2025 revealed Enhanced learning and community focus for the New Year Future-proofing your sales Transform your sales strategy   Key Quotes;   "So the main reason that I've decided to change The C Suite ® is because over 2024, I've noticed that learning styles just aren't being catered to." 00:15:3100:15:43 "Some people are looking to be either completely self paced to be able to do things at their own speed and not have to be accountable to anybody else other than themselves, and other people want more accountability. They want more time in a room with me. They want taught implementation sessions where they are focused for days at a time on working on their business instead of being in the trenches in it and reacting to everything as it comes in." 00:23:2200:24:00 "Everybody who's been selling digital courses knows that it has become more and more difficult to get people to implement those digital courses." 00:13:2300:13:32 Exciting New Opportunity for 2025: "I am genuinely excited about it. It means I get to be in a room with a limited number of people next year to support those people who want more accountability, more community, to get more of my brain, and spend more time actually implementing and executing, feeling really confident." 00:26:5300:27:59 "The C Suite ® in the market has one of the highest completion and success rates of any course that I can find." 00:08:0100:08:08   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Tickets are now on sale here for the Converting Corporates Event 2025.   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process.!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

As we're heading into the critical sales planning season for 2024, I want to help you create a sales plan that genuinely works for you and your business. I'll be sharing the reasons why many entrepreneurs struggle with their annual plans, why many sales plans fail and how you can avoid these pitfalls. Whether you're overwhelmed with the thought of planning, struggling with metrics or simply lacking accountability this episode is designed to guide you through creating a plan that isn't just pretty on paper but is also actionable and effective. Plus, I'll give you a sneak peek at some exciting changes coming to The C Suite ® in 2025 so tune in and let's get your sales planning on the right track! In this episode I'm sharing; Essential sales planning tips for 2024 Why your sales plans fail and how to fix them The secrets to creating successful sales plans for 2024 Streamline your sales planning strategy for the 2024 season How to develop a sales plan that actually works Overcoming common challenges in sales planning for 2024 The key elements of a winning sales plan for 2024   Key Quotes;   "The online education space has really done people dirty because it's talked about planning like it's something that is generic and doesn't need to be customized to you, to your personality, to your capacity, your time, and ultimately, your strengths." 00:05:2100:05:37 "If you're just creating a sales plan with little to no foundational understanding of how a B2B sales process works and little to no understanding of being able to troubleshoot your existing sales process, it can be really hard to create a plan that actually works." 00:08:0300:08:14 "I believe strongly in things like resilience, grit, being open to spotting opportunities, and actually a lot of things that are similar to money mindset. But you know what I don't believe in is increasing your sales goal by, like, a 1000%, without any kind of data to show that that has the capacity to happen, or that you have the capacity to execute a plan that would lead you to doing that." 00:12:1400:13:23 "We also have to consider the reality that for any plan, you need to know what numbers you're working with, what metrics you're working with and that's where people can go a little bit awry." 00:13:5000:14:05 "It's kind of like knowing that there's something wrong with your car and not being a mechanic. So you're just pulling out a load of random wires and plugs and hoping for the best. That's what happens when people plan without any kind of foundational understanding of what a sales plan is designed to do and what they want specifically their sales plan to do." 00:06:0500:06:33 "If you are on our email list, you will have heard and seen signs that The C Suite ® is changing in 2025 so keep an eye out for an announcement in the next few weeks of how The C Suite ® is going to look in 2025!" 00:18:0400:18:21   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Tickets are now on sale here for the Converting Corporates Event 2025.   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

"Who Dares Wins: The Sales Lesson You Can Take from the SAS!” What a great title and, no I am not even remotely thinking about joining any of our amazing Forces but I will be sharing an inspiring lesson from an SAS talk on perseverance and resilience and we'll navigate through personal and professional challenges from this year, reflecting on accountability and the shifts in the B2B market. I'll also advise on how to not let a neglected sales process become a leaky bucket, draining your resources and potential. If you're grappling with pricing, sales consistency, or just trying to find a balance in scaling your business, this episode is packed with practical advice and support. Plus, I'll be offering a free gap analysis to help you pinpoint and address your sales process issues. I'll help you to tackle any obstacles head-on and gear you up  to make 2025 a year of growth and transformation! In this episode I'm sharing; How SAS lessons can transform your sales strategy Turning sales challenges into opportunities: Insights from the SAS selection process Overcoming sales hurdles: Lessons in resilience from the SAS Improve your sales process with the SAS mindset Why a Strong Sales Process is Your Business's Best Asset in 2024 Sales Success in 2024: What the SAS Can Teach Us Conquer Business Sales Issues with Strategies Inspired by SAS Resilience Elevating Your Sales Game: What Entrepreneurs Can Learn from SAS Training From Leaky Buckets to Solid Sales: Transformation Tips via SAS Lessons Actionable Sales Insights for 2024: Drawing Parallels to SAS Determination   Key Quotes;   "So the short thing to say is that if in 2024, you've experienced being fearful around making investments of time, energy and of course, money into your sales process, you need to figure out whether or not the fear of staying where you are with your current results is a better place to be than making a chosen investment into an area that you know needs support." - 00:18:4500:19:30 Leaky Bucket Syndrome - "The reality is that when it comes to sales, if parts of your process are broken then you will continue to leak more money out of them. You will continue to have more problems. And it's kind of like a leaky bucket, in that if you don't fix the first hole in your leaky bucket, the pressure of the water becomes so great that you spring more leaks." 00:21:0700:21:32 Work Life Balance Struggles: "I've been in that space where my business wasn't working like I wanted it to. I didn't have the work life balance that I set up my business for and I've been in a job where I wasn't massively valued, and I've been terrified to let go of that because, like most people, I value financial stability." 00:13:3400:13:55 "So from a professional perspective, I'm seeing lots of sales process gaps and sometimes a lot of fear around identifying those gaps and actually plugging them, which is leading to a lot of problems." 00:04:0100:04:17 Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Tickets are now on sale here for the Converting Corporates Event 2025.   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process.!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

Introducing our amazing guest Lucy Gordon on today's episode ‘How Lucy standardised her sales approach to generate sustainable revenue.' Lucy is a financial expert specialising in cash flow management and financial modelling for businesses of all sizes. With a rich background in real estate and a knack for turning complex financial strategies into practical solutions, Lucy shares her journey from struggling with inconsistent sales processes to mastering a standardised approach that has led to sustainable revenue growth. In this episode, we'll uncover why platforms like LinkedIn are more suited for corporate engagement compared to Instagram, the importance of joining supportive professional communities, and how personalising training can make a significant difference. Lucy also provides valuable insights into setting boundaries, improving client communication, and the key to successful negotiation—even when it means facing rejection. Whether you're looking to refine your sales pipeline, develop better proposals, or simply gain more confidence in your business dealings, Lucy's experiences and strategies offer a wealth of knowledge. So, join us as we explore the transformative power of standardising your sales approach and unlocking new opportunities in the corporate world.    In this episode I'm sharing; How Lucy standardised her sales approach to generate consistent revenue and her sales methods explained. How to balance your workload and boundaries to maintain prospects. Learn to identify red flags early and improve the sales pipeline. How standardising reduces errors and the impact of over-personalising proposals on efficiency and evaluation. Being part of a qualified community such as The C Suite ® provides consistent, reliable guidance. Detaching personal feelings from rejections by focusing on fit and why rejection in sales isn't catastrophic.   Key Quotes;   Lucy Gordon -  My issue was that I was not very good at the sales process, I can talk about myself and how amazing I am at financial modelling. But I just wasn't very good at getting consistent sales and setting up procedures properly.   Jess - I think everyone who's an entrepreneur has heard the stat around, like, 90% of businesses fail within the 1st 5 years and most people think it's because their product wasn't good enough or their website didn't look great or something like that. But actually, it comes down to you didn't sell enough, and you didn't plan to have the right cash flow at the right points.   Lucy Gordon - As a solopreneur you're waiting for someone to pay your invoice before you can actually pay yourself. But it's the same with companies, everyone has cash flow issues, and that's the reason so many companies fail. So you need to be able to try and predict when that money is coming in before you start being able to spend other money.    Jess -  I think it's really interesting when entrepreneurs realise that businesses look at cash flow too and prioritise that. And I think it's interesting because most people assume that businesses are just big corporations, they make money all the time so it's really easy for them.   Lucy Gordon - I had quite bad boundaries with everything that I was doing and that was the other reason for joining The C Suite ®. I needed to make sure that I was being more consistent with my business development and then also putting in those boundaries to say, no. You're not getting all of this time of mine for free. I can't have endless workshops and handover days and stuff because they all take up my time when I should be prioritising other clients and prioritising my BD.   Jess - When we're newer to sales, I think standardising sales processes feel scary because people think, well, I have to make it as personal as possible so that they like me because people buy from people they know, like, and trust. And that just isn't the same in the corporate space, or they feel that personalising everything to within an inch of its life gives more credibility. When it doesn't, it just gives you a sales process ultimately that has a lot of potential leaky gaps that you don't know how to fix because you can't identify what's gone wrong.

There is going to be a lot more focus on creating sustainable businesses and sustainable business practices, which is always a good thing." "You need to be thinking about approach, targeting, all these things. And people say ‘oh no that's scary' and then they either won't do anything because they don't feel confident to implement it alone or they'll invest in a solution that teaches them how to do it." "And the default is always ‘it's probably my pricing.' So then you end up in this weird spiral where people have something that was working really, really well but then suddenly isn't. They can't understand why they decide it must be the pricing so they lower the pricing and then experience further issues." Why Entrepreneurs Fail to Make Consistent Sales: "Most people are just learning, consuming, and maybe marketing, but they're not implementing." "So if you have been thinking about joining The C Suite ®  for a little while, all I'm going to say is that it would be a good idea to join now or pre January 2025.

Have you ever wondered if or why traditional content strategies are falling short in selling to corporate clients? In this slightly controversial episode "Why Content Doesn't Work to Sell to Corporate Clients," Jess shares the changing landscape of disposable income and consumer sentiments, highlighting how consumers are growing tired of low-quality content and becoming more cautious with their spending.  Jess discusses the reasons behind consumer buying behaviour—emotional connection, aspirational content, FOMO, and urgency—and why these tactics are losing their edge in today's market. If you are interested in finding out the limitations of traditional content strategies and want to discover effective alternatives for securing corporate contracts then tune in to learn how to adapt to the ever-changing market.   In this episode I'm sharing;  - Rethinking Content Strategies for Corporate Sales Success  - Why Your Content Isn't Converting Corporate Leads  - The Ineffectiveness of Content Marketing for B2B Sales  - Transforming Your Approach: From B2C Content to Corporate Sales  - Why Traditional Content Falls Short in the Corporate World  - Boosting B2B Revenue: Beyond Social Media and Content  - Selling to Corporates: The Faults in Content-Driven Sales  - How to Adapt Your Content Strategy for B2B Success  - The Pitfalls of Relying on Content to Secure Corporate Clients  - Effective Alternatives to Content Marketing in B2B Sales Key Quotes;   The Pitfalls of Low Ticket Sales: "For every low ticket offer that you sell, that you deliver as a one off with a stakeholder who is not in control of bigger budgets and is not interested in commercial transformations, you are avoiding spending time on business development with those people who could actually work with you in a more premium way and who could be responsible for helping you support their organisation with a much bigger transformation at a much bigger price point, which would raise your average transaction value." The Changing Business Landscape: "So one of the things I've noticed over the last probably 4 months, maybe 5, since I came back from LA, however long ago that is, is that the business to consumer space has changed in a very fast and slightly terrifying way." "Inbound leads are not worth what you think they are in the B2B space, really think about what you are looking to get out of your content for B2B at the moment and whether or not it's likely to help you achieve those goals." The Real Decision-Makers: "Senior stakeholders often don't have the time in their day to day to go out and find content and then consume that content. So they task somebody else." "How Jennifer McDonald Nethercott used The C Suite ® for an hour a week between November and January increasing her revenue by 15% and her profit by 35%."

And I always think, well, I do it, so it can't be rocket science."  00:02:1600:02:28 "Because when you are somebody who is qualified to a high level in your area, you can give companies very different strategic support than what we would normally think of as being strategy. When you are working with both coaches, consultants from that kind of solopreneur space to working on marketing campaigns, especially when they have more budget, there's a lot more strategic guidance that goes into that." 00:09:4500:10:28 It's that as a marketer, sales doesn't necessarily come naturally to you. But when you set up your own business, you have to become a salesperson otherwise you're not going to earn any money. Some of the smaller businesses I work with, you have to speak to them about what sales they're doing because, ultimately, like other coaches and consultants I work with, they need to be doing that one to one outreach as well to generate it because marketing is not going to provide all the leads they need for generating the income they want to. 00.27.33 - 00.28.36   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Tickets are now on sale for Converting Corporates 2025, use code CELEBRATE for your special discount here.   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process.!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

Have you ever wondered why celebrities are selling to corporate clients and why they might not be the best fit for corporate organisations? In today's episode we're questioning the qualifications of high-profile personalities who are delivering well-being services to businesses resulting in huge entrepreneurial successes. Leaving you to ask the question ‘what advantages can professionally certified experts bring to the table instead' and why you need to develop a robust sales process to open corporate doors. Interestingly, we'll be understanding the history of celebrity brand partnerships, the challenges faced by regular entrepreneurs in this space, and why authentic expertise should never be overlooked.  Jess also shares tips on leveraging summer downtime to reflect on your goals, build quality conversations with key stakeholders, and generate valuable referrals. Plus, stay tuned for exciting updates about inbound lead generation, upcoming case studies, and special offers in the C Suite ® program.  In this episode I'm sharing; Whilst celebrities might have star power, clients with professional certifications and genuine expertise offer greater value and tailored services to corporations. Developing a strong and effective sales process is crucial. Focus on quality conversations with the right stakeholders to build lasting influence and generate valuable referrals. How, by learning from both celebrities and industry experts, you can refine your personal and professional development strategies to seize corporate opportunities. As we approach the summer months, take this time to reflect on your sales strategies, client relationships, and your ambitions for Q4. Prepare for an engaging September sprint with dedicated support from Jess!   Key Quotes;   "I think we should have a bit of a conversation about celebrity culture and why celebrities are making that decision to move into more corporate partnerships rather than necessarily just being sponsored by companies to wear their clothes or being paid to endorse products." — Jess Lorimer 00:13:0900:13:27    "We have this rise in celebrities endorsing things or creating products and programs and services that are about their own lived experience and not necessarily because they have any other expertise." — Jess Lorimer 00:16:5000:17:04   "So, yes, there is an uneven playing field, because it is easy for organisations to buy from celebrities. They talk a lot more about what they're doing for a start, and they are usually quite happy to leverage any relationships that they may have themselves, that their publicist may have, etcetera, to get into organisations." — Jess Lorimer 00:18:4700:19:10 "I've had lots of conversations with people who have huge audiences but who want to create more reliable revenue streams, who are tired of some of the things and experiences that they're having in the online world." — Jess Lorimer 00:28:4000:28:56 "I've actually got a really, really cool newsletter planned in August for you about the way that you can focus on raising your prices and why you shouldn't be afraid to be a premium resource for corporate clients." — Jess Lorimer 00:02:2600:02:39 Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

Corporate Sales Success: Booking 116 Calls and 33 Proposals in 6 Weeks.

We just track the data almost out of habit, and then we end up not using it." — Jess Lorimer 00:02:1300:03:23   Data driven success: "Data driven sales processes make more money, in a much simpler way and are much better at preventing your own burnout as a business owner." — Jess Lorimer 00:28:5800:29:10   "Maximising sales potential": "You want to have a B2B sales process that works, that is efficient, that you don't have to think about but you can scale using team members as and when you want to." — Jess Lorimer 00:31:5700:32:08   Self-Worth and confidence in sales: "But it is also quite shocking to me the amount of people that I see who would rather spend 6 months to a year trying to figure it out, failing because they're not qualified salespeople, diminishing their self worth and confidence, and then thinking, I don't know whether I can do this." — Jess Lorimer 00:22:4600:23:10 Finding the right business tools: "Sometimes you have to take a little step back and go, what is it that I want to achieve in my business?

You should absolutely be forward selling and should be improving your skills in those areas." — Jess Lorimer 00:27:4400:28:09 **The Challenges of Forward Selling in B2B Sales**: "A lot of business owners who are selling to corporate do not have enough in their pipeline so it's completely normal to worry. What if they go away and find somebody else who can do it quicker because I'm not available?" — Jess Lorimer 00:21:5100:22:04 "The interesting thing about forward sales in the B to B space is that the people who have objections around forward selling are the people that we wouldn't expect to which is us as sellers." — Jess Lorimer 00:20:2800:20:40   "I would absolutely encourage you to go away from this episode feeling super inspired and motivated to do forward sales activity and also think about some of the triggers that may stop from doing so or that may cause obstacles for you." — Jess Lorimer 00:13:2700:13:43   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process.!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

Are you tired of being ghosted by corporate decision makers and frustrated being ignored by stakeholders? In today's episode Jess discusses the concept of ghosting and provides actionable strategies to avoid being ghosted, whether it's at the proposal stage, during follow-ups or when setting your next steps. Learn the three key reasons stakeholders ghost and get insights on sending qualified proposals, setting clear follow-up actions and learn how to handle the lack of responses.  It's time to take control of your sales process and build stronger relationships with corporate decision makers.

So if they have to tell you that something isn't happening, if they have to tell you that they suddenly can't give you a testimonial or that your payment's going to be delayed, if it's bad news, they hate giving it. That's when you will often find that stakeholders will ghost you - if it's bad news." — Jess Lorimer 00:13:2400:13:46 Understanding Client Priorities in Business Proposals: "It can also be that we haven't defined whether or not they've got sign off or whether they've actually identified a time frame for delivering the project. So sometimes we'll get ghosted because we didn't think to ask when would this actually start?" — Jess Lorimer 00:15:2400:15:32 Preventing Professional Ghosting: "In the case of ghosting, prevention is better than cure." — Jess Lorimer 00:17:3700:17:41 Coping with Professional Ghosting: "I have been ghosted thousands of times over the years, and I will probably be ghosted thousands of times more." — Jess Lorimer 00:04:5700:05:50 Building Better Business Relationships: "How are you making your prospective buyers feel?

What we're going to say and how the stakeholder on the end of the cold outreach campaign is going to react, or how the stakeholder who's being chased to say yes or no to a proposal is going to take it. And unfortunately, overthinking and putting yourself in a position of procrastination doesn't help to generate revenue." — Jess Lorimer 00:16:4500:17:25   C-Suite Accountability and Results: "If you've been thinking about joining The C Suite ® for a while and you haven't been sure but know you want that extra accountability, support and Q&A sessions  now is really the time to jump in.

It is about taking consistent action and just doing it so that you can see what happens and improve it if you need to for next time." — Jess Lorimer 00:20:3400:20:47 Evolving Hiring Practices: "One of the big things that did come up was that hiring managers are trying to change. They're trying to become more commercially focused themselves and are trying to be much more proactive about the problems that they're identifying and how it's impacting them and why they should be solving those issues." — Jess Lorimer 00:27:2400:27:51   Effective Outreach Strategies: "Best practice, proactive outreach really does work. It takes less effort and much less time than posting tons of content and hoping that the right people will see it or hoping that something will go viral and bring in qualified leads." — Jess Lorimer 00:33:3300:33:55   Effective Business Development Strategies: "I always say to my clients, you want to be targeting 3 to 5 stakeholders in each organisation because it's going to help you, not only in your sales process in terms of multiple people having access to multiple budgets and multiple projects and priorities. But also further down the line in creating a great experience, in being able to get case studies and testimonials and in case something goes wrong. In case the stakeholder ghosts you after a proposal has been sent, and you need somebody else to follow it up and figure out what's happened." — Jess Lorimer 00:29:5400:30:25   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here and use code TRACK at the checkout before February 29th to get your exclusive discount.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process.!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

We are diving into a fascinating topic today and one which I get emailed about regularly "What's passive income (really) when selling to corporate clients?" So tune in if you've been looking to crack the code on passive income in the corporate world, it's a game changing episode! As we approach the tail end of this first quarter, I want to unpack a concept that's been buzzing around but is often misunderstood – passive income. You've likely heard of it: the income dream that works for you while you sleep. But what does passive income really mean, especially when we're talking about selling to the heavy-hitters in the corporate world? Over the past five years, I've had the pleasure of selling a version of The C-Suite ® program to corporate organisations, which has been both lucrative and exciting. Now, there's a common perception that passive income doesn't require additional assistance or interaction with customers. However, in my journey, I've found that adding value and catering to customer experiences has been key, especially when these products are bought at scale by corporate clients. Today, I'm going to share my wisdom about selling passive income products to corporate companies, and how these products can lead to sustained revenue, particularly through multi-year deals. It's about striking the right balance between passive income and active customer engagement to create a robust sales strategy. For those of you who are new or finding your way in the B2B space, I'll be offering some critical advice on timing and how to avoid common pitfalls. We'll also explore how you can convert your B2C courses for the corporate market and why understanding the sales process and the impact is crucial for passive income success. So, whether you're seeking to enhance your corporate selling techniques or looking to maximise your passive income portfolio, this episode has got you covered. And, for those looking to get ahead, don't forget to check out our sales tracker projection sheet! In this episode I'm sharing; Scale & Volume: Learn how passive income products can lead to astronomical revenue when sold at scale to corporate clients—think big deals, big impact! Choosing the Right Resources: Make sure your passive income products are making an impact—and sense for your business before diving in. What are the advantages of selling passive income products at scale to corporate companies compared to individual customers? How do multi-year deals with corporate clients for passive income products benefit the overall sales strategy and revenue sustainability? The Five-Step Process: Simplify your sales process with Jess's insights on selling to corporates, which can mean upsells, referrals, and a healthy bottom line. From B2C to B2B: Thinking of turning that consumer-focused course into a corporate powerhouse? Learn how tweaking your approach can unlock massive potential. How The C Suite ® has been adapted and branded for corporate organisations to facilitate lucrative and multiyear licensing deals?   Key Quotes;   Exploring Passive Income in the Corporate World: "I've had a lot of requests for this episode, a lot of people have been emailing me to ask if it is possible to sell a passive income product to a corporate company, if so, what do they pay for it and also, what do they buy that's passive?" — Jess Lorimer [00:03:14 → 00:03:44] Passive Income Strategies in Corporate Sales: "The difference is that most corporate organisations will buy passive income products at scale or volume, meaning that instead of selling one course or one membership or one book a week, you can sign contracts to sell 50 plus courses or a 100 plus seats in a membership." — Jess Lorimer [00:14:15 → 00:14:42] Challenges in Creating Corporate Training Resources: "You're used to creating a course for the end user, but you're not necessarily used to creating a resource that a company can successfully onboard, all of its end users or, a cross section of end users onto, you might not have the ability to create almost like a workflow for those end users." — Jess Lorimer [00:17:09 → 00:17:31] Passive Income Strategies: "So what I mean by that in the simplest sense is it's fine to spend 6 months writing a book, but let's be clear. Organisations are not going to pay you £100 a book." — Jess Lorimer [00:19:09 → 00:19:21] Business Development Strategies for New Sellers: "I would advise doing as much as you can live before you branch into the passive income resource space. Because that way you know where people get stuck and where people trip up with courses or programs, or you find out the more frequently asked questions that people have and you can preempt them in any passive resources that you can create." — Jess Lorimer [00:32:58 → 00:33:19]   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here.   Click here to watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process.!   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

Are you ready to unlock the secret to securing lucrative deals for your workshops? In the latest episode of Selling to Corporate ®, "How my clients get paid 3K + for 45-minute workshops", our fearless host Jess Lorimer sits down to unveil the remarkable journey of Hannah, who conquered the corporate landscape and started charging £3000 for just 45 minutes of her expertise. Dive into Hannah's story - a tale of transition from a travel-heavy career to mastering the craft of selling to corporate ®. Find out how, with absolutely no previous experience, Hannah managed to navigate corporate sales calls like a pro using top-notch objection handling techniques and transparent discussions about return on investment and was able to charge 3K + for 45-minute workshops! We break down the three key factors that catapulted Hannah to success. From her effective cold outreach strategy to an unwavering commitment to providing clear commercial value, tune in and you'll get all the insights needed to replicate her success.   Jess also extends an exclusive invitation to join her at the March "Converting Corporates" event in Central London. With a spotlight on honing your budget conversations, outreach strategies, and offer creation, this event is a goldmine for anyone looking to break into or improve their position in the corporate market.  In this episode I'm sharing; The significance of having a mentor with proven results and why you should choose qualified, resonating sales experts for success. Prioritising sales over perfecting corporate offers. Sales calls should focus on transparency, not persuasion.  The use of objection handling techniques to navigate budget discussions addressing budget objections, increasing confidence, and improving sales. How to achieve sales success through process improvement and training. Submitting a proposal that highlights the discussed transformations and securing a positive ongoing working relationship after acceptance of the proposal. The power of asking purposeful questions during sales calls, listening and identifying your client needs rather than delivering a pitch. Trust in Your Sales Process: Embrace a 5-step process for consistency in winning corporate clients and understand why specificity in your offers can make or break your success. Key Quotes;   ​​Post-Pandemic Business Philosophy: "I would rather have loads of competitors in the market because like I say to my clients all the time about selling to corporate companies, the more competitors you have, the easier it is to stand out for being good." — Jess Lorimer [00:06:43 → 00:08:08] Corporate Sales Strategy Advice: "Lots of people are now moving to teach other people how to sell to corporate companies, which I think is great because I think you should absolutely buy from who you resonate with and people who've got proven results and all of that good stuff. And as I've said over the last, I don't know, 5 years of this podcast, I don't care if that's me or if that's somebody else. What I care about is that you buy from somebody who can actually get your results and that you resonate with and that you know you're going to take the advice and actually implement it from and also that you buy from somebody who knows what they're talking about." — Jess Lorimer [00:08:55 → 00:09:31] Overcoming Self-Doubt in Sales: "It's really sad, you know, because, unfortunately, sometimes people have the best of intentions and they really want to help people sell to corporate companies, but they just don't have the skills, strategies, and training ability to help people in more niche areas or in areas that they don't understand." — Jess Lorimer [00:12:47 → 00:13:09] Corporate Sales Strategy: "And I frequently say that you don't and shouldn't really focus on having a corporate offer before you start your sales process." — Jess Lorimer [00:34:52 → 00:35:04] Transparency in Sales: "When we look at sales calls and how sales calls work with corporate stakeholders, we come into this world where we have to operate with transparency. I think that's really interesting because what most people think sales is, particularly from a B2B perspective, is this art of persuasion. How do we convince somebody to buy our service, or how do we convince somebody that they need what we are offering? Or worse, how do we sell without being salesy? When we start talking about things like persuasion, convincing, how to sell without being salesy, What we're actually doing is saying, how can we remove transparency?" — Jess Lorimer [00:36:40 → 00:37:37] Converting Corporates Event: "To those of you who haven't been, I would urge you to come to Converting Corporates because this is the first time live that I will be teaching how to create an offer that converts to corporates even if you haven't sold to corporate companies before." — Jess Lorimer [00:02:57 → 00:03:12]   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Converting Corporates is back and it's going to be bigger and better!

Is anyone else still working their way through emails from Christmas? Remember to get the sales tracking spreadsheet, it's a game-changer according to Hayley and many others. Even better, if you use code TRACK at checkout you'll still be able to get a discount! Today we're diving into the 4 key trends and insights that will shape successful corporate client sales in 2024. With a goal to streamline her business and avoid overwhelm, Jess is discussing the importance of revenue, client results, and work-life balance whilst sharing her own email marketing experiences and offering insights into decision fatigue amongst stakeholders. In this episode; How to streamline business and avoiding being everywhere and doing everything Decision fatigue and tailored strategies in lead generation Discussing the impact and consequences of AI-written content Applying personalised outreach and relationship-building strategies with corporate clients Streamlining to focus on revenue and client experience   It's been a busy few weeks at Selling to Corporate ® finalising workbooks and prepping for the upcoming Converting Corporates event. Held over two days in March we have an expert hiring manager session,  5 workshop sessions and a very supportive community who know exactly what it's like to sell to corporate organisations. We'll also be covering the exact steps, strategies and implementation support to help you navigate and maximise the financial year end and financial new year periods!  We also recently held one of our C Suite ® in person days and it was absolutely fabulous to see so many people forming new friendships whilst enjoying a special in person implementation day.   Alongside training and events I've also been signing a couple of my own corporate clients which led me to think about creating a rundown episode about all the services I sold to corporates in 2023. So, if you're interested… let me know.   I've been seeing some very interesting trends and insights for 2024 especially within the personalisation field. AI hasn't been working as expected and that's been really problematic for clients and business owners. Also the age of automation has really gotten old for people and it's stopped some relationship building properly. I discuss in the episode how we should revert back to tried and tested methods which give attention to clients. I've always built personal relationships so there won't be any major changes there but what I am about this year is connection. Connecting the right people to one another in the hope that the collective do better.   Which brings me to my absolute fave - email marketing! I love it and have had a lot of success already this year with our corporate email outreach and was fortunately able to outsource it so it took zero time from me - other than sending my tried and tested strategy and templates to the local 18 year old! I've said it once and I'll say it again - email marketing is so much better for outreach than LinkedIn IF you do it right! This year I'm going back to basics and keeping it all simple, I'm all in on deep dive content and focusing on client experience, my proven consulting and continuing to streamline in my own businesses.   On a B2C front I've been doing monthly deep dives over on Substack for those of you who like seeing real life B2B scenarios being broken down, check out the link to sign up here.   Finally, and I'm not going to spend too much time on this but… please don't take advice from people who aren't themselves selling to corporates. The strategies are not the same and the outcome could be more damaging than you realise. We all know that stakeholders don't spend their personal time thinking about which coaches/ consultants or trainers they can get off Instagram. Key Quotes; Overcoming Email Overwhelm: "But emails and answering emails is just endless. Absolutely endless." — Jess Lorimer [00:00:45 → 00:00:47] Misguided Sales Strategies: "Using B2C advice for a B2B revenue stream." — Jess Lorimer [00:32:44 → 00:32:46] Prioritising Values in Business: "So whenever I make any decisions in my business, they have to tick those boxes.

And, weirdly enough, the robots don't always know what's best." — Jess Lorimer [00:20:45 → 00:21:06]   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Grab your Sales Tracking Spreadsheet here and use code TRACK at the checkout before February 29th to get your exclusive discount.

Happy 2024, my fellow B2B sales enthusiasts! It's a new year, and I'm feeling the sales energy shift! This year, let's move past the hangover from the pandemic and refocus to make 2024 your best sales year yet! It's time to get ready to conquer your B2B sales goals and consider using these four essential elements to smash your sales targets and power up your B2B revenue stream. This year the focus is on dedicating specific time for B2B sales activities, being clear and intentional with your plan, concentrating on one method of lead generation and avoiding premature outsourcing.  In this episode I'm sharing; How to dedicate specific time for B2B sales activities in your calendar. This includes generating leads, setting up sales calls, and writing proposals. Doing this work now will impact your sales in 90 days.  Be clear and intentional about your plan for 2024. Define your main business, revenue, learning and development, visibility, and personal goals. Regularly assess and align your actions with these priorities.  When considering outsourcing sales activities, ensure you have a good understanding of your B2B sales process before hiring salespeople. This understanding will help you set metrics, understand commonalities, and train salespeople to sell your services effectively.  Key Quotes;   Setting Clear Goals: "I sit down at, like, once a month, and I look at, what am I doing and how is that helping me progress my goals? And that really helps my squirrel brain to process things and be like, oh, I'm doing all this stuff and spending a load of hours on building out this great slide deck or whatever, but it's not helping me meet one of my main priority goals. So should I be doing that?" — Jess Lorimer [00:14:21 → 00:14:46] Hiring Salespeople: "But what you should do is have a good understanding of your B to B sales process before you start hiring salespeople, and there's a reason for that." — Jess Lorimer [00:20:01 → 00:20:11] Outsourcing Pitfalls: "Don't be tempted to hit 2024 hard and assume that that just happens by outsourcing because it doesn't, and it can really be an expensive and painful mistake." — Jess Lorimer [00:22:18 → 00:22:30] B2B Sales Strategy: "What is gonna build your B to B revenue stream is taking a couple of hours a week to really focus on B to B time specific sales activities." — Jess Lorimer [00:08:52 → 00:09:03] Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Converting Corporates is back and it's going to be bigger and better!

No." — Jason Marc Campbell [00:11:57 → 00:12:07] The Ethics of Sales Strategies: "I am very much an advocate just finding ways to be more efficient as a salesperson so that you can go and serve more people more effectively, make a greater impact as a return.

In our latest episode, "Creating your best B2B sales mindset (and generating more revenue!)"  I couldn't be more proud to introduce you to our inspiring guest, Vicki Weinberg who is sharing her incredible journey from self-study to business success and also her insights into creating a positive B2B sales mindset.   We dive deep into the transformative power of mindset when it comes to generating more revenue and achieving sales goals and Vicki shares how she overcame her fears and self-doubt to embark on a self-study program that empowered her to make significant changes to her sales process. She emphasises how tracking her actions and progress has led to tangible results.    Vicki Weinberg shares her experience with self-study programs and the importance of dedication and implementation (06:32 - 09:18)     Jess Lorimer discusses common fears and concerns about selling to corporates and the importance of managing emotions (16:45 - 21:12)   In this episode I'm sharing;   Main fears when selling to corporates; small providers working with big brands; concerns about competition, corporate jargon, and looking silly; reassurance in following a proven sales process. Courses focus on theory, not practical application. Scheduled emails eliminate decision-making and emotions. Why asking for referrals can be uncomfortable. Key Quotes;   I'd rather pay someone who knows what they're doing, not have to think about it. — Vicki Weinberg 00:04:3200:04:35   Imposter Syndrome: "I was a little bit nervous, to be honest, because while I knew I was coming at it from a good place, there was this bit of me thinking, Who am I to approach a large company and say I can help you? What credentials do I have? Why would they choose to work with me?" — Vicki Weinberg 00:10:0300:10:18   What I've really appreciated about the c suite is you don't have to follow it in a linear way. I dip in and out all the time. I just have a problem, and I go, oh, there's probably something in there. I'll find the thing I need and I'll use it which is really refreshing to not have to work through 60 hours before you can do anything. — Vicki Weinberg 00:24:5800:25:17 Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Converting Corporates is back and it's going to be bigger and better!

In today's episode Jess is debunking some common myths about selling to corporate companies and sharing valuable insights based on their experience and that of their clients, focusing on topics such as payment terms, boundaries, and the importance of sales skills. We'll also discuss the impact of factors like diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), as well as the evolving buying patterns in specific locations.    Myth 1: Corporates take a long time to buy from freelancers. This is simply not true! Based on my experience and that of my clients, I can assure you that corporates do not drag out the buying process unnecessarily. I'll be sharing insights on the average time it takes, key factors that can impact the speed of sales, and tips for accelerating the process. (5:45)   Myth 2: Corporate companies always want to pay the least possible or don't value your products/services. While negotiations are a part of working with corporate organisations, it doesn't mean they don't value what you offer. In fact, I'll be discussing ways to effectively negotiate, price your services competitively, and articulate your value to make the purchase commercially critical for corporates.(9:12)   Myth 3: Big companies are difficult to work with. This misconception has been perpetuated for far too long. I've found that smaller suppliers are often preferred by corporate companies due to their agility and ability to deliver expertise and value without unnecessary bureaucracy. I'll be sharing strategies for positioning yourself as a valuable and trusted partner to corporate organisations. (26:25)   In this episode I'm sharing:   Impact of well-being, diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives on corporate buying Shift in career choices from influencers to selling to corporate organisations Factors influencing sales efficiency and the importance of sales skills Entrepreneurial misconceptions about corporate negotiations Details about the upcoming masterclass and research results   Key Quotes;   I've had lots of people give me reasons that they genuinely believe that they shouldn't be selling to corporate companies or, and this is more uncomfortable, ways that they justify to themselves that corporate companies are just not buying, and therefore, the sales process is not working. — Jess Lorimer 00:04:3100:04:57 One of the things that's always interesting to me is that when we feel under confident in our sales strategy, we look for reasons that give us reassurance that the things we're doing are right, even when they're not. And that sucks because we look for the narratives that make us feel comfortable and good rather than the narratives that point out where we might be able to grow and learn." — Jess Lorimer 00:35:2400:35:49 Corporate companies historically have been open to negotiation ... making decisions based on successful negotiations. — Jess Lorimer 00:36:3600:36:41 Master Class on Generating B2B Sales: We're gonna be talking about the main elements that you need to have set up in your sales process to generate your 1st 100 k of B2B sales. — Jess Lorimer 00:02:1100:02:18   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   How to make your first 100K in B2B sales!

Tackling the common misconception of creating offers before having sales conversations, Jess explains why this approach may not be the most efficient use of time and offers alternative strategies for selling to corporate organisations.    Creating offers without sales calls is risky. Offers are based on your perception and experiences, which may not align with client needs [00:09:44]  The fear that stakeholders will ask how you can help them without a mapped-out offer (00:07:12). Spending time creating offers before sales calls is not the most efficient use of time (00:08:35).   Many of us feel the need to have our offers perfectly crafted before we even start reaching out to potential clients. We believe that knowing our offers in advance will make sales calls easier because we have a clear pitch. But the truth is, spending time creating offers upfront can actually hinder your progress and efficiency. Join us as we explore the three key reasons to rethink your corporate sales strategy for the final quarter of the year.   In this episode I'm sharing;   Reasons why September is a good time to sell to corporate organisations Efficient use of time: Preparing elaborate offers can be time-consuming. Instead, focus on lead generation and having meaningful sales conversations. How you'll feel more prepared on sales calls by knowing your offers upfront.    Key Quotes;   The Importance of Selling Consultatively: "The best sellers, the people who are the most consistent in their sales achievements and revenue, and the people who are most consistently winning clients, winning bigger deals are the people who are selling consultatively." — 00:19:3500:20:52   The Importance of Qualified Sales Calls: "And actually having qualified sales calls is one of the most important parts of creating sellable premium priced offerings because it's on those sales calls that we learn the nuances and the language that we would use or that our client would most importantly use to help sell it in." — 00:16:4300:17:05 Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

Are you ready for some powerful insights to help you level up in your sales game? In today's episode of Selling to Corporate ®, we dive deep into the topic of "How to create a top performer mindset," this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to unlock their full potential and achieve outstanding results.   So, what exactly is a top performer mindset and how can you develop one? As the famous quote by Jim Rohn goes, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." This means that if you surround yourself with driven, successful individuals, you will be more likely to adopt their mindset and habits.   Don't invest time, money, or energy unwisely. [00:27:27]  Lack of focus on foundational tasks [00:33:32]  Boost confidence, overcome underpricing, improve competence [00:49:45]  Salespeople's mindset lessons for success in 2023 [00:01:08]    Confidence is a key aspect of a top performer mindset and lack of confidence can make business harder and generate less revenue. Some people may also lack the skills and confidence to implement effective lead generation strategies, leading them to lower their prices and ultimately impacting their ability to sell to corporate companies. However it's easy to get caught up in personal confidence issues or time limitations which is why it's important to identify and address the areas of the sales process that need improvement in order to reach your goals efficiently.   In this episode I'm sharing;    - Importance of encouraging certain behaviours and discouraging others - The impact of hesitation and lack of confidence on missing opportunities - The importance of making one change at a time to improve selling strategies - Conducting tests, surveys, and monitoring metrics extensively - The dedication and effort behind being a top performer - Identifying areas of the sales process that need improvement - The impact of confidence on business success   Key Quotes;   "The Secret to Top Sellers: No matter how easy, breezy, and natural something looks from the outside, you can bet that top performers have spent a very long time, a lot of energy, and have had to practise a lot of tenacity to make it look like that." — Jess Lorimer 00:09:1500:09:33   Improving Confidence and Competence in Business: "Sometimes I see a load of people, they make their business as much harder than it needs to be. They generate a lot less revenue than they should because they're too underconfident to charge decent prices." — Jess Lorimer 00:50:0000:50:14   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!

The demand for consistent, ongoing wellness programs is on the rise, with businesses now investing in various areas, including nutrition.   Throughout the episode, Laura outlines the importance of a structured approach to business development, being persistent, and effectively following up to maximise opportunities. Her inspiring journey encourages listeners to be proactive in their business strategies and embrace possibilities for growth.   The episode also delves into the significant impact of mental health on organisations and how companies often limit their involvement to mental health first aid or medication referrals. Laura believes that empowering employees to take actions that improve their overall well-being can have a profound influence on their performance and contribute to a healthier workplace environment   In this episode I'm sharing;   - The importance of utilising a strong sales process - Working with organisations assumed to have no budget - Personal growth and development as a business owner - Transformation through the C Suite ® program - Shifting from random lead generation to a structured approach - Finding top organisations and getting leads - Feeling like a business owner rather than just having a hobby - Enjoying meaningful business development calls   Key Quotes:   Scaling a Balancing Act: "But at the moment, I'm kind of then developing, like, a program that can be delivered that I don't necessarily need to deliver myself. So I have now got that vision in terms of being able to scale. Whereas before, I just didn't have any kind of idea how that would have been possible." — Laura Bryan 00:24:2700:24:46   The Power of Structure: "It just gave me the structure which I desperately needed. I was 100% a magpie chasing shiny things, and the kind of structure around The C Suite ® just gave me that focus of the core business things I needed to work on." — Laura Bryan 00:32:2600:32:41   The Importance of Clear Structure in Communication: "Having that clear structure takes less brain power because I used to create big fluffy emails to try and just be really friendly. And now it's like, I can still be friendly, but not spend hours sending an email. So just get into the point and and making it as easy as possible for that stakeholder to just know what I'm asking, really." — Laura Bryan 00:19:4800:20:10   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Join The C Suite ® Self Study now!
