145. Five Moves To Make More Sales

July 06, 2026 | Sell

Are you tired of relying on unpredictable referrals or throwing money at expensive marketing software just to get new clients? When it comes to compliance and bookkeeping, services are often sold on price. But winning high-value advisory work requires a completely different approach: relationship selling.

You likely already provide incredible value and great results for your clients, but if you aren’t packaging, pricing, and selling it properly, you are leaving a fortune on the table. In this episode, I am breaking down the five specific “moves” you need to make to confidently sell your premium advisory services without ever feeling pushy or “icky.”

We’ll cover why you need to stop selling your processes and start selling transformations, how to run your discovery calls like a medical professional, and the psychology behind uncovering and dissolving client objections. Plus, I’ll share the exact follow-up strategy that recently landed one of my clients £8,000 a month in recurring revenue just from re-engaging old leads. If you are ready to win the work that funds your freedom, this episode is your step-by-step guide.

Key Takeaways

  1. Sell the outcome, not the materials: Why your prospects don’t care about your software stack or workflows, and how to successfully position yourself as the “bridge” between their current painful reality and their desired destination.

  2. Run your sales call like a doctor: Why prescribing solutions too early kills the sale, and the 5 specific things you must diagnose (Pain, Trigger, Return, Budget, and Date) before making an offer.

  3. The fortune is in the follow-up: Discover why following up is about serving, not chasing. Learn how to follow up 4 to 8 times using value-driven content and the “closing the books” message to re-engage ghosted prospects.

  4. How to dissolve hidden objections: Learn to identify whether a prospect’s hesitation is based on circumstances, other people, or their own self-doubt, and the exact questions to ask to turn their past disappointments into a roadmap for working with you.

  5. The final question you MUST ask: The simple, powerful question (“Based on everything we have covered, does it make sense to get started now?”) that you need to ask at the end of every call—and why sitting in absolute silence afterward is your strongest sales tool.
