Sales Confidence

What is your dream? I dreamed of building a business. I dreamed of travelling the world. I dreamed of writing my own book. I dreamed that Simon Squibb would help me. All of this came true because I had a dream. I’ve come accross a lot of business people in my life Simon is by far the most humble, genuine and generous individuals ever. If you want some inspiration go grab a copy of his new book “What’s your dream” while you are there grab a copy of my book “How to build Sales Confidence” where Simon wrote the forword: I met James Ski on a TikTok Live. On this Live I was giving away money to help people fund their dreams. I’m dedicating my life to the pursuit of helping people achieve their dreams. When James came on I immediately resonated with his mission to help people around the world improve their sales skills and build more confidence in themselves. In my 30 years of experience building and investing in businesses. The greatest success or failure in any business I have been involved in has been the ability of people in my teams to make sales. Learning to sell is the single best skill you can learn to be more successful in business or sales. Right back to that very first conversation with James - I felt his passion for sales and his motivation to help people succeed. So much so I agreed to mentor him for £10k. I have never done this before or since. Infact I later returned his money because I believe in “Giving without taking” and I preferred James to invest this money back into his dream. I have also been very taken aback by James’s story of living with bipolar disorder. He seems to have developed excellent empathy and understanding of people through his experiences giving him a deep emotional understanding of people and their needs. This is what sales is really about - learning how people behave and supporting them with their goals and solving their problems. James has gone extremely deep in this book on the mindset of what it takes to be successful in sales as a business owner, sales person, coach or entrepreneur. I really appreciate his practical tips on confidence and developing unwavering self belief in what you are selling. Without this you will not succeed. I’m absolutely honored to have written the foreword to his book “How to build Sales Confidence”. As the Founder of Helpbnk (A global community to help people achieve their dreams with free advice and guidance) and an investor and encourager of people pursuing their dreams. I wish everyone more success by picking up and reading this book. Without sales there's no business. Links to books in comments:

This is a big one today…I’m absolutely delighted to announce that we’ve just raised £850k! 🎊 Massive thanks to Tom Bradley and Ted Mallett at Salica Investments for leading the round, and to Maria Barsuk from Tanzanite Capital and many amazing angels who also participated and believe in our mission. 🔙 The background I met my co-founder Mitchell Nick just over a year ago now, and we immediately clicked despite being almost 8,000 miles apart! (I’m in the UK, he’s in Bali). Given our backgrounds, we both wanted to use AI to support go-to-market teams in overcoming their most urgent problems, which really boiled down to: how do you stand out and engage prospects in this new world? 💯 The result? A platform to power AI-driven ABM for every marketing team. RevvedUp makes it 10x faster and cheaper to increase qualified pipeline with AI-driven ABM that scales to reach every prospect in your total addressable market. 📈 Early traction We quickly launched an early beta product back in Sept, and iterated like crazy to release our first commercial product in March. Since then we’ve built up an amazing customer base, with the kind of positive feedback that just fuels you to go further and faster. 🥇 3 key benefits have come back from those early adopters: > We can stop chasing only the 3% of buyers in-market and connect with our whole Total Addressable Market (TAM) > Overcoming the decline in outbound conversion rates and growing our brand at the same time > Saving 8-10 hours per FTE a week on manual research and copywriting 💰 Why raise now? With clear pull from the market, a very clear and hugely ambitious roadmap and nowhere near enough hours in the day to achieve everything we’re trying to for our clients, we decided external funding was the route for us. After bootstrapping for 12 months we feel it's time to pour some fuel on the fire and take everything to the next level. The pipeline crisis is real and urgent for everyone we speak to, so slow and steady just isn’t the right choice for these kinds of problems! 🌅 What’s next? We’ve really investing in 3 areas: the product, the team and content. This means you’ll see more impactful features shipped faster; world-class customer experiences; and a focus on creating valuable content and insights for marketing leaders who need to unlock new ways of generating qualified pipeline. 🙏 It takes a community... Thank you so much to the countless folks who've helped and supported us along the way (too many to mention by name)! And with your ongoing support + the injection of capital to help accelerate things further and faster...LFG! 🚀
