Here’s Sean’s Story
Gamekeeper turned poacher!
If you don’t know me very well or are new to what I do and how I do it, here’s some more information about me and what I’m all about.
I actually stumbled into the sales training arena in 2001. Prior to that I had a reasonably successful commercial career but call it a mid-life crisis or a moment of madness, I handed in my notice to a £75,000 a year job to see if I could cut it as an “entrepreneur”.
Yes, you’re right. Most people called it madness!
I always enjoyed coaching, building successful teams and business improvement so that’s what I was going to do.
After a non spectacular start to building my Richard Branson like empire, a small company asked me whether I could deliver sales training for them and of course I said yes! (even though I had no previous experience in this whatsoever!) Well, needs must and all that!
The one thing I did have in my favour was that I had been sold to more times than a lot of sales people had actually sold themselves! I was an expert buyer and used to eat sales people for breakfast. I knew all of the tricks and techniques that sales people would use on me and I would use this knowledge to my advantage.
I’d murder their margins and work them really hard for the sale. So I approached that sales training event completely from the buyers perspective.
I turned the sales process on it’s head and rather than “making a sale” I wanted to run the training so that their sales people would make it “easy for the prospect to buy” and that the decision to say “Yes” would be a no-brainer!
I was delighted to receive 10’s across the board on the feedback forms and 3 weeks later got an email from the MD stating that their sales had improved by 65%.
MTD Sales Training was born and I had found my niche.
Word soon got around about the results I was getting for my clients and then the media started calling. First it was the BBC, then a CNN International live interview in front of 145 million people. Then ITV wanted a piece of the action and then the daily newspapers, magazines and radio. Today, I’ve been featured in over 250 publications.
All of a sudden I was called terms such as a “sales guru” and “sales jedi” – it’s weird the slant that the media put on things but I loved it nonetheless! All I was focused on was building my own business and brand and helping our clients to make more sales or to improve their management skills (Yes, MTD Management Training was not far behind the inception of our sales training division).
As of today, we’ve trained over 250,000 staff from over 9,000 different organisations and no, I haven’t done it all myself! I’ve got a great team of trainers, admin and customer service staff behind me.
My role has changed over the years. I’ve gone from working “in my business” to “working on my business” and I’ve handed over the nuts and bolts of the day to day operations to my staff. Of course, I know everything that’s going on in the business but I’ve got a very talented group of staff. Sometimes I can be in the way!
I still meet with prospects and clients, I just love that and a lot of my time is now spent on either researching the latest methods and techniques of generating more sales, media work, jetting off around the world for international speaking and conference events, stuck on the motorway for UK speaking events! and product development.
In 2007 I was delighted to have been a finalist in the British Business Awards for my Entrepreneurial achievements especially as 2007 was a nightmare year for my family as my wife Donna was critically ill in hospital for most of it including 3 stints in intensive care (we’re all back to normal now thank god). I was also pleased to see my name in the 2009 Who’s Who of Britain’s Business Elite.
Being a judge in the 2009 Young Enterprise Programme was a real treat as I got to see some of the UK’s upcoming business talent. I wasn’t as horrible as Simon Cowell (well almost!)
My weekly email tips go out to over 60,000 people interested in sales, marketing and management and I’m currently talking to several TV production companies about possible TV shows.
I was also delighted to have a #1 Amazon bestseller in July 2011. “eselling®” topped the Amazon bestseller charts beating all comers and even outselling Lord Sugar!
Ok, I hope that gives you an insight into what I’m all about…
Let’s move on so you can discover
what this programme is all about…
So what is covered within this programme?
Through 39 content busting sessions (with no fluff whatsoever!) you’ll be learning tips, techniques and strategies that you can actually use in the real world and I’ll cover exactly what to do and how to do it.
Drive Time Sales Strategies contains 5 unique CD’s, each one covering a specific topic. There are lot’s of role plays and actual examples for you to listen to so you can learn the words to use and hear it from the horses mouth.
Before I cover with you exactly what’s on each CD and what you will learn, let me first tell you about what you can expect from this programme after you’ve ordered.
You’ll be over the moon to discover that this programme contains…
NO FLUFF! Instead, the sessions are short, sharp and full of tips and techniques that you can actually use.

NO CHEESE! These tips are practical, down to earth and are not read by a voiceover man! They’re read by me, warts and all! It’s as though I’ll be sitting right there next to you as your sales coach.
NO TIME OFF WORK! You can listen to these training sessions in your car on the way to work or when you’re on the way to the sale and the sessions are standalone tracks. This means that you don’t need to have listened to any previous tracks to get the gist of what’s going on!

We all know the role that emotion and logic plays in the selling process but how, exactly, can we use this? I’ll show you the importance of designing your ESP’s (emotional selling propositions) and how to use these in your interactions. USP’s are usually not as unique as you think! ESP’s will get the job done everytime.
How beneficial would it be if you could slice open your prospect’s brain to see how they think and then you could present your information in such a way that would really be on their wavelength?

Your prospects are under pressure, are time poor and have many different activities that are competing for their attention. I’ll show you why it’s important that you can move fast in the current economic climate and why this alone will win you deals no matter how good you are at selling.
It’s very rare that you’ll be the only supplier that your prospects are looking at. During this session I’ll be covering how you can remove these other solutions from the equation in your sales interaction and how to do it in the right way.
There will be times when it’s a straight dog fight between you and the competition for a piece of business. I’ll show you exactly how you can bash them over the head in such a way that you’ll position yourself as the only viable choice.
“We’re using someone already and we’re really happy” Sometimes there’s not a lot to follow that! I’ll show you an unknown and hardly ever used approach that will get your foot in the door and then of course, it’s upto you!
You’re waiting on a decision and the sales cycle is coming to a grinding halt… now you don’t want to keep pestering them with calls and emails but on the other hand you want to keep in the front of their minds. During this session you’ll discover what you should do during this often frustrating time that will ensure that you’ll be the supplier they choose because everyone else is becoming a right nuisance!
You’ll learn how to position yourself as an authority in your field so you gain instant credibility and expert status. You’ll learn techniques and approaches on how to rise above the other sales people who are out to eat your lunch. Your prospects and clients will soon be asking for your advice and that’s when you’re classed as a true advisor!
