Many consultants hate selling.

It feels pushy.
Unnatural.
Far from the work you love.

But here’s the hard truth:

- Without sales, expertise doesn’t matter.
- Without clients, firms don’t grow.
- Without relationships, opportunities dissolve.

The result?

You chase projects.
Get frustrated.
Feel stuck.

I’ve been there.

Moving from expert to sales, everything changed.

Client relationships shifted.
New skills required.
Many rejections.
No systems

And I fail—until I figured it out.

But the payoff was worth it:

- My performance improved.
- My confidence grew.
- My income soared.

The secret?

Selling like an expert—not a sales rep.

Now, I mentor consultants who want:

- Focus and confidence in sales.
- Long-term client relationships.
- Accountability for
.

This isn’t like learning product sales.
It’s about selling as an expert.

If you’re a consultant ready to accelerate sales, follow me Clive Griffiths.

I post practical methods here on LinkedIn every day.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
