Mastering sales isn't just about the product — it's about building trust.

In this episode, Samantha dives deep into the art and science of sales with the insightful John Lester. 

John’s story is anything but ordinary — a hardware technician thrown into the deep end of sales by necessity. With no formal training and only the bare minimum of resources, he developed a unique understanding of what truly drives a sale and it’s not the product, but the problem it solves, and more importantly, the person behind the purchase. 

Samantha and John explore the evolution of sales techniques, the emotional core of buying decisions, and how modern-day salespeople can navigate an increasingly sceptical and informed marketplace.

This conversation is packed with insights that will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about sales. Whether you're a seasoned salesperson, a coach, or a consultant, this episode will inspire you to approach your next sales conversation with fresh eyes and a renewed sense of purpose.

Do you think hiding your struggles will make you a better leader? Hiding your struggles might actually hurt more than you think.

In this episode of Influence By Design, Samantha sits down with Serena Mastin, owner of Pulse Marketing, to discuss a topic that’s rarely explored with such raw honesty — visibility through vulnerability. 

Serena’s story is anything but ordinary, from surviving a traumatic childhood to leading a thriving marketing agency. What happens when issues you thought you had successfully concealed suddenly surface and threaten everything you’ve built?

This isn’t just a story of struggle — it's one of incredible resilience. It’s a profound reminder that strength isn't always about holding it all together. Rather, it’s knowing when to let go and allow yourself to be vulnerable. As Serena powerfully demonstrates, you can’t heal when you hide, and it’s in that healing that true success and connection are found. 

This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the pressures of maintaining a facade of strength when everything seems to be falling apart.
