Straight-talking conversations about selling, growing and scaling
Every sale has a story. Some end with a signed contract, some with a slammed door. The best ones teach you something you’ll use for the rest of your career.
On The Sales Circle, sales trainer, coach and author Rob Spence sits down with business owners, founders, sales leaders and salespeople. They talk about how they really built their careers and grew their businesses. There are no scripts, no jargon and no polished highlight reels, just honest conversations about what works, what doesn’t and what they’d do differently.
The Sales Circle is for entrepreneurs, salespeople, sales managers, founders, business owners and anyone who wants to sell more and grow faster. Whether you’re making your first calls or running your own team, you’ll come away with ideas you can use straight away.
There’s no “tell me about yourself” warm-up. Rob introduces each guest and gets straight into the questions, in the spirit of the great British chat-show interviewers. Conversations cover:
Each guest shares three sales stories: the good, the bad and the ugly. Some are their own wins and disasters. Others are the best and worst attempts anyone has made to sell to them. It’s often the most revealing part of the show.
Rob Spence is the founder of Paragon Sales Solutions, a Leicester-based outsourced sales and telemarketing business, and a published author. His new book, The Sales Circle | Volume One, brings together the stories of 15 people on sales, business growth and scaling.
After more than 60 episodes of sales training, The Sales Circle returns with a new interview format and a new line-up of guests. New episodes every two weeks.
Seasons One and Two are still available, with practical episodes on cold calling, value-based selling, prospecting in the AI era and more.
Follow The Sales Circle on your favourite podcast app so you never miss an episode.
