Your Best Year Starts With a Plan
|
Hello Reader, Happy New Year! I hope you’ve had the chance to rest, reflect, and maybe even think about what you’d really like 2026 to look like. Not just in sales results, but in how you feel about the work you’re doing. At this time of year, lots of people set goals or resolutions. Fewer people create a clear plan to achieve them. And in sales, that’s where the difference lies. A strong year isn’t built on motivation alone — it’s built on clarity and consistency. Knowing:
A target without a plan is just a wish. A plan gives you momentum. Over the last few years, I’ve spent a lot of time helping sales professionals and business owners step back, reflect, and put structure around what they’re trying to achieve, not just more activity, but better outcomes. That’s exactly why I’ve created a range of practical courses designed to help you plan, focus, and execute more effectively this year. If you’d like some support in shaping your year ahead, you can take a look at one of the most popular options here:
No heavy sales approach. No pressure. No rush. Just tools, frameworks, and guidance you can use immediately if this is the year you want to be more intentional with your selling. And if you don't want an in depth course then maybe this simple Sales Plan checklist will help. So here’s my suggestion for today: Before the inbox fills up and the calendar takes over, take a moment to decide what this year deserves from you — and what support might help you get there. I wish you a healthy, happy, and successful year ahead, and I look forward to being part of it with you. Best wishes and remember, Eat or be Eaten James How would you rate this edition? 🤏🏻 So-So |

Good morning ReaderI hope you’ve had a peaceful Christmas, full of good food, laughter, and quality moments with the people who matter most.Over the last few days, I found myself thinking not about the presents under the tree… but about the time around them. Sitting with family, watching nieces and nephews play with their new toys, chatting with relatives I don’t see often... these were the moments that stuck with me. It reminded me that the things we often overlook are actually the things...
In today’s edition, we explore why the small wins are so vital to celebrate and how being appreciative of yourself is the starting point of continued sales success. Let’s get to it. Good morning Reader, Christmas is a good time to remind ourselves of the basics. When I was younger, I would have a stocking put out by my bed by my mum. This was just the start of the Christmas presents. Both my sisters and I knew that when we walked downstairs, we would have our own individual piles (and yes,...
In today’s edition, we explore a really simple and practical way in which to deal with the ‘common response’ you get from prospects in the run-up to the holiday season! Let’s get to it. Good morning Reader, I wanted to make this week’s email short but very practical. With Christmas and the holiday season nearly upon us, getting meetings arranged or deals done is sometimes a challenge.
