Ever tried to close a high-value deal while wearing pajama pants and broadcasting live from Laundry Mountain? We have thoughts. 😬

This week on Tea & Timbits, we tackle the art (and chaos) of high-value negotiations in complex deals—virtually and beyond. From why your Zoom setup is make-or-break, to understanding the full value chain, to the underrated power move of swapping out your negotiators mid-deal... we cover it all.

👉 Whether you're navigating million-dollar contracts or just trying to make it through a virtual meeting without muting yourself, this one's got gems (and grumbles) for you.

🎧 Listen now and up your negotiation game—no suit required, but tidy backgrounds highly encouraged.

Live from the land of tea and warm beer (the UK!), we’re together in the same room again and feeling slightly over-caffeinated. In this final April installment of our sales tactics series, we take the stage with a deep dive into events—how to make them more than just sad coffee and awkward handshakes.

We riff on Battle of the Bands, trade shows, and why “winging it” is a terrible idea unless you’re an actual bird. From intentional networking to hosting your own killer summit, and even how not to look like a lost intern behind a trade show booth—this episode hits all the high notes (and some questionable analogies).

If you’ve ever wondered why your event ROI is lower than your motivation on a Monday morning, this one’s for you.

This week, we were actually in the same room! We dove into the wonderful, occasionally awkward world of relationship selling. From warm introductions and word of mouth to door-knocking tales and strategic partnerships, we discuss how genuine human connection can be your strongest sales tactic — even if your microphone’s feeling a bit shy.

Expect chuckles and advice on how to actually build trust instead of just chasing quotas. If you’ve ever wondered if asking your cousin’s friend's dog walker for a referral is a good idea — we’re here to say... maybe?
