Ever found yourself in the midst of a pushy sales conversation?
It’s no fun being on the receiving end of it… so why do we think we need to BECOME the pushy salesperson to successfully land a sale?
I don’t know about you, but it’s a big no from me.
There’s a reason sales have such a negative perception around them. Most salespeople?
They suck.
They’re trying to push a sale, all without actually understanding the person they’re talking to.
Their customer isn’t a human - they’re just another number, and another opportunity to make more $$.
Being good at sales DOESN’T mean being good at being pushy.
In fact…
… it’s the total opposite.
In this week’s episode of the Bringing Business to Retail podcast, my guest Bob Marsh takes the whole sales process off the table and reframes it: now, we’re giving customers the ability to make decisions about what they ACTUALLY want… and when they can do that, they BUY MORE!
Your job is to help your customer make a decision. It’s not to pull the wool over their eyes and trick them into spending money with you.
If you’re sick of feeling ‘salesy’, you can’t miss this. Enjoy this episode and leave the sticky sales agendas behind!

Your customers don’t care about your products.
After all, why should they?
In a world full of countless product options, yours is just another one they scroll past.
Your job, as a retail or eCommerce store owner, isn’t to find the best products.
It’s to give your customers a reason to STOP the scroll, pay attention, and press ‘buy now’.
On this episode of Bringing Business to Retail, I’m joined by powerhouse John Chan from Berge Farrell to talk about the secret weapon you have in capturing your customer’s attention: packaging.
As the most overlooked and least utilised owned channel, packaging is the sales activator you’ve already got lying in your hands. It’s your walking billboard, the first touchpoint your customers have that sells your overall product experience.
We’re talking about how packaging is your silent salesman, what you can communicate through design, the shopper vs the consumer (and how you can meet their different needs and desires), strategic packaging for retailers, and how you can stand out in the crowd through thoughtful packaging tweaks.
Dive into this episode and hear John and I spill on how you can revamp your packaging to influence your customers’ buying decisions - more yay, less nay!
