How to win a MegaClient (Value: £499)
This training goes through the full process we went through to secure Symantec as a client.
Symantec is a $4 billion a year company. Their most well-known brand is Norton Antivirus, but they make most of their money from huge B2B contracts with other massive corporations.
We'd won business with some decent companies already, but really we were just starting out – and this contract was game-changing. We'd never seen this much money before! And then we used this system to win more enterprise clients with big budgets.
I remember the day we won them…
Winning Symantec involved a lot more than sending a silly cold email.
That just got the ball rolling. As a small agency, we had to impress. Big clients often prefer to play it safe and hire big agencies, seeing them as less risky. We had to go out of our way to show Symantec that we were the best choice for their social media and content marketing needs.
This training covers:
- Opening – How we opened the deal. This bit's obvious. We went the silly ferret email.
- Getting a call – We will show you how we transitioned from positive response to an initial call.
- Getting a Meeting – Learn what we offered Symantec so they agreed to an in-person meeting and what we prepared for and what we presented at this first meeting.
- Positioning – You'll get full explanations of the 7 Sales Hooks that we used repeatedly – including to win this megacorp.
- The Pitches – What we presented in our meetings with Symantec. This involved a lot of pitching not only our way of doing things, but specific ideas that fit within the brief provided.
- Brainstorming Ideas – How we developed ideas to present to Symantec.
- The Clever Shortcut that saved us time and the client money – learn the simple tactic we used to ensure our creative would be successful; make a win-win-win scenario for our agency, the client, and journalists; and inoculate Symantec from wasting money.
- Closing – What we did in the final pitch and how we followed up to bring close the deal.
- The Psychological Principles – a rundown of the underlying persuasion techniques we used throughout the process.
What you get in this pack:
- The full eBook which covers in detail every step of the process, and all the tactics you can use to win new clients for yourself.
- A video training explaining all the elements of the whole successful pitch process, plus some insight into the psychology and sales hooks used.
- The exact email we used to get the initial response, plus a templated version for you to adapt and use to get new clients on the hook.
How to Create a Niche (Value: £297)
This ebook and video training pack shows you how to create your own weird little sub-niche, just like Charm Offensive.

The Charming Common Ground Cold Pitch Templates – Added 18th September 2019
This pack contains personalised charming cold pitch templates for sending to prospects with whom you share common interests, values, or experiences.
These templates are all focused on getting responses from prospects. These templates can be used on cold email – or through LinkedIn direct messaging.
The pack contains personalised 'Common Ground' cold pitch templates, including:
- A disarming template that mentions you both live in the same place – and references specific locations in your town/city that only a local would know.
- A sly, witty little pitch that none-so-subtly mentions you attended the same high school, college or university as the prospect.
- A smirk-inducing opening gambit that references that you have both previously worked at the same company.
- A charming template which, oh so delicately, mentions you share a trait in common with the prospect. (E.g. Sense of humour or passion.)
- A usually-vomit-inducing but in this case perfectly fine anecdote about your wonderful children and the miracle of being a really tired parent – like they are.
- An amusing template that mentions your shared love of a particular sports team.
- A cute, transparent message that isn't shy about mentioning your shared love of a particular comedian, band, musician or artist.
- A ridiculous but kindhearted "Above-And-Beyond" Hyper-Personalised Template: Send this template to prospects you know are inundated with cold pitches from other suppliers. It involves a little bit of graphic design work, but nothing that you can't get done quickly and cheaply on Fiverr.
- A cunning template to send to prospects that have the same first name as you (easily findable on LinkedIn – especially with the free bonus included in this pack!). This email/message makes light of this commonality – before moving on to your cold pitch.
- A daring cold pitch that references the fact you support a rival sports team to your target prospect.
Charming Common Ground Template Pack Bonuses
Bonus 1: Prospect Research Ebook
This ebook shows you how you can research prospects on LinkedIn and Twitter to find common interests, providing you with loads of opportunities to send personalised cold pitches.
Bonus 2: The "Right Time" Cold Pitch Template
Use this template to contact prospects who, according to LinkedIn Sales Navigator, have changed roles in the last 90 days. This means they've either been promoted – or have moved to a different company. These people are usually much more receptive to hearing new ideas from new suppliers.
Bonus 3: The "LinkedIn Virgin" Invite/Follow-Up Message Sequence Template
This template takes advantage of the "Member Since" search functionality in LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Using this search field, one can find prospects who've joined LinkedIn in the last day, week, or month. These prospects are likely to have never received an invitation or message on LinkedIn yet… Until you send them this charming little template, that is.
Bonus 4: Robotic-Phrases Cheat Sheet
A comprehensive cheat sheet checklist featuring the most common robotic phrases to kill any semblance of common ground stone dead – and how to avoid them.

- An absurd sequence where each subsequent message includes a new "bonus" that the prospect will get if they reply to you.
- A playful sequence comparing the average costs of your service to a range of ridiculous products and services.
- A helpful sequence of 7 different tools, tips, tactics and resources the client can use to help mitigate the problem you want to solve – but never quite solve it.
