If you work in sales, you’re always pitching. If you don’t work in sales, you’re always pitching too! Every conversation we have, every email we write, every Zoom call we join moves our audience closer to or further away from buying into our ideas, products, or services.
There are a staggering 35 million PowerPoint presentations given worldwide every single day. LinkedIn, WhatsApp, MS Teams are constantly pinging and dinging to distract and divert. We’re continually competing for our prospects’ attention across a sea of noise.
The best sales people stand out. They captivate their audiences. They ensure their message lands.

About Dominic:
Communication expert, and author of the bestselling book “IMPACT: How to be more confident, increase your influence and know what to say under pressure”
Straight out of drama school, Dominic closed the most important sales conversation of my life through the audition that landed me a leading role in the Hollywood action film, Thunderbirds.
That launched his career as an actor, director, and teacher at some of the UK’s most prestigious institutions, including The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Experience in the rehearsal room, on stage, in front of the camera and behind the lens were the foundation he needed to expand his career into the exciting world of keynote speaking, training, and coaching.
