What I can talk about.

I comment on sales and marketing for owner led businesses, from lost enquiries and agency work to practical AI in sales.

I'll only comment where I have direct experience. If your question sits outside these areas, I'll say so and, where I can, suggest someone better placed.

Topics I cover.

Four areas where I can give you a practical view.

Sales follow up and lost enquiries.

Why good enquiries go quiet after the first reply, and where they fall between marketing, sales and the CRM.

Getting value from a marketing agency.

What owners should expect an agency to report, and how to judge whether the work is helping sales.

Practical AI in sales.

Where AI helps with follow up and reporting, and where a person should step in.

Sales and marketing for owner led businesses.

Choosing what to fix first when time, cash and people are tight.

Questions journalists ask.

Short answers to what journalists ask me before an interview.

How quickly can you respond?

Tell me your deadline when you get in touch. I'll tell you straight away if I can meet it.

Can you name clients?

Only with their permission. If I give you an example, I'll say whether the business can be named.

What format works best?

Phone, video or written answers by email. Whichever suits your piece and your deadline.

The numbers.

Clicks, enquiries, quotes and sales are different measures. I check what the agency reports, what it can actually see and what happens once an enquiry reaches your team.
