I’ve been working with clients since 2006. In that time, I’ve learned many subtle social graces that have benefited my professional career enormously. My brand new ebook, Charm Your Way To The Top will reveal

In February 2006, I was depressed and feeling lost. I decided I was going to move to London. I searched Google for “SEO Agency London” and sent a bullet point list of my skills to the first website listed. I sent a bullet point list of my skills to the first agency listed. I got the job and moved down a few weeks later. In my first week at my new job, I had to accompany the Business Director, John, to my first ever sales pitch.

After the pitch, John took me to a nearby pub to celebrate my first ever pitch. He was confident we had won it. 30 minutes later, he got a call from the client, confirming we had won it.

“We never find out we’ve won this quickly! I told you, you did an amazing job”, he told me. He immediately called the office to inform the Managing Director of the good news.

“Jon was amazing! He’s a natural!” he said. He continued praising me and gave me 100% of the credit for winning the deal. He didn’t have to do that. It immediately made him like him, and far more likely to do him favours throughout my time working with him.

I still remember this moment, 18 years later. This goes to show how these small gestures can have a gigantic impact that stand the test of time.

Over my career, I’ve met a lot of smart, persuasive people in all sorts of roles and learned from them. I’ve managed accounts for companies of all sizes, from small businesses to some of the world’s largest brands and corporations.

My experience has provided me with a vast array of lessons for navigating relationships in the world of business. Charm Your Way To The Top will reveal these to you.
