We’re in a trust recession. Buyers aren’t cynical, but they are cautious.Big promises feel cheap. Engagement can be faked. Testimonials can be bought. Even five-star reviews raise suspicion. So how do you win clients when people don’t trust what they see anymore? In this episode, I break down what’s really killing trust online - and what actually rebuilds it in 2025 and beyond. We talk about why confidence no longer converts, why “just book a call” repels the right buyers, and how consistency, relevance, and restraint now matter more than persuasion. You’ll learn: Why trust is no longer created in a single post or conversation How to build credibility without over-explaining or sounding desperate The 11-touchpoint reality every expert must understand Why being specific beats being broad every single time How small “breadcrumbs” outperform big claims Why trying to convince people quietly destroys trust If you sell your experience, expertise, or know-how - and you’re tired of competing with people who look louder but aren’t better - this episode will change how you show up.

If referrals keep you afloat but nothing outside referrals converts, there is a single blind-spot creating that pattern. In this episode, you’ll see where that blind-spot hides in your copy, your positioning and even how you speak about what you do. It explains why smart buyers don’t enquire, why peers engage more than prospects, and why your process—no matter how strong—never converts. The odd thing is that referrals disguise this weakness, so you think you have clarity when you don’t. Once you spot it, you’ll notice how it affects the quality of leads, the price people accept and the confidence buyers have in you. You’ll see it clearly, but you won’t unsee it. Tune in and you’ll realise exactly what has been holding you back when you’re not being recommended.

Everyone’s noticing the same thing on LinkedIn right now:Their posts stall.Their reach drops.Their feed shows the same recycled stuff for days. This isn’t just an algorithm story.It’s a content story. In this episode, I break down why some posts now spread and others die, why random topics kill your visibility, and why your visuals matter far more than you think. You’ll see how LinkedIn is rewarding experts who stay on-topic, use clear visuals, and stick to a simple mix of attract, nurture, and convert posts. By the end, you’ll know exactly why your content dropped off—and what your posts need to cut through again.

Is AI about to wipe out whole sales roles… or is it the biggest career opportunity in decades? In this unfiltered part-two conversation with Christine Norton, GTM at Global Big 4. We dive into how the sales game has radically shifted since we last spoke — from the death (or evolution) of the SDR, to the rise of ‘Agents as a Service,’ to why your forecast meetings might disappear overnight. We explore how AI is creating fiercer competition, forcing sellers to think like consultants, and making deep discovery and big-picture thinking more valuable than ever. Plus, the one skill every salesperson must master now to stay relevant in a world where buyers are more informed, more impatient, and less tolerant of fluff than ever before.

In this episode, I break down exactly what's changed with the LinkedIn algorithm in 2025, why so many of us have seen a sudden drop in views, and what you need to do to stay relevant and effective on the platform. I’ll share: Why impressions have plummeted—even on great content How LinkedIn now prioritizes relevance, relationships, and real conversations The shift away from recency and how posts now have a much longer shelf life Why sticking to your core topics is more important than ever How LinkedIn is cracking down on engagement pods, spammy comments, and surface-level tactics What metrics actually matter now—like profile views, DMs, and link clicks This update is a big shift, but it's not all bad news. In fact, I believe this is a huge opportunity—especially if you’re a coach, consultant, or B2B service provider. If you focus on building a targeted audience, sharing evergreen content, and creating real engagement, LinkedIn can still be your best client-generating platform. If you're feeling frustrated or confused about what’s working now, this episode will help you cut through the noise and make LinkedIn work for you again.

You’ve got the skills. The offer’s solid. You’re posting like a content machine. So… why does it feel like you're shouting into the void while others—less experienced, less ethical, less you—have people lining up to work with them? In this episode, Dean lifts the lid on the real reason your inbox isn’t flooded with inbound leads. It’s not your pricing. It’s not the algorithm. It’s not that you need another bloody lead magnet. It’s your positioning. Your message. And—most importantly—the gap you haven’t exposed between what your audience wants… and what they’re settling for. You’ll learn: The 3 demand triggers that get people pre-sold before they ever speak to you Why logic doesn’t drive action—but emotional contrast does How to build a message that makes your audience feel their current state is intolerable The quiet power of creating exclusivity (without faking scarcity) And the one mindset shift that will stop you posting content for content’s sake—and start turning your visibility into demand This isn’t another “be consistent and show value” fluff-fest. It’s a direct line to what actually creates desire and makes people chase you, not the other way round. If you’re tired of being overlooked by people you know you could help, this one’s going to sting in the best way. Hit play. Get uncomfortable. And then get in demand.

Are you pouring hours into social media and seeing zero real money back? I get it, because so many people are falling for the biggest scam on LinkedIn and social media: this idea that just creating "content" is going to make you rich. I'm going to show you exactly why 95% of content creators are struggling, and then reveal how of business owners are actually crushing it by using what I call the "demand creator" model. Stop wasting your time chasing likes, and let me give you the proven strategy to turn even a small, targeted audience into high-paying clients.

Get my 7-Day Client System https://www.deanseddon.io/7-day-client-system   Ever hit that terrifying moment when your sales pipeline suddenly runs dry? You know the one — you start the year full of hope and clients, but come mid-year, everything slows to a frustrating crawl. Dead silence. No leads. No sales. It feels like the business is on the brink of collapse, and panic starts to set in. But here’s the hard truth most people won’t tell you: It’s not just the economy or “seasonal slowdowns” causing this. More often than not, it’s complacency. Between January and July, distractions take over, you lose focus, and before you know it, you’ve got a gap that feels impossible to fill. In this episode, Dean pulls no punches on why this happens — and why the “status quo” is your worst enemy. He shares real-world lessons from his own experience and reveals why doubling down harder during a slowdown isn’t always the answer. Instead, you need a system — a reliable, predictable pipeline that works even when clients go on holiday or the algorithm changes. You’ll learn: Why relying on social media content alone is a trap — and what to do instead The “big red button” strategy for plugging urgent pipeline holes right now How to build a sustainable client acquisition process that stops the cycle of feast and famine Why chasing viral posts is a losing game — and how to reclaim control of your business growth If you’re tired of pipeline panic and want a real solution that works no matter the market, this episode is for you. Listen now and take control before your next slow season hits.

Get access to the 7-Day Client Systemhttps://www.deanseddon.io/7-day-client-system A few summers ago, I was 10 days from payroll and £13K short. No fluff, no runway, just panic. In this episode, I share exactly how I closed that gap in 7 days using a simple one-page Google Doc, two LinkedIn posts, and a couple of DMs. I break down the 7-day client system I created from that pressure cooker moment, something that’s now helped over 170 people generate fast revenue without ads, funnels, or a fancy website. You’ll hear: How I created an “Easy Yes Offer” that sold fast The exact client acquisition process I used (and still use) Why systems beat tactics for consistent revenue How to use LinkedIn and direct outreach to win high-trust sales What to do when you’re in a B2B revenue slump and need fast cash flow If you need clients now - or just wants a lean, effective system that works - you’ll get everything you need right here.

It has nothing to do with trending sounds, dancing, or posting every day. It’s something almost no one talks about. And it starts before you even hit upload. We also explain how the platforms really work now. Why follower count matters less than ever. Why some of your videos flop while others randomly fly. And what most people miss when they try to grow an audience. This is not about going viral. It’s about getting your content seen by the right people with as little effort as possible.

We tested this. And the results speak for themselves. If your content isn’t getting traction, this will show you why. More importantly, it will show you what to do differently.

You're putting in the hours. You’re active online. You’re trying every tip, tool and strategy that promises results. But your income still isn’t showing it. In this episode, we break down why so many business owners feel like they’re doing everything right but still not getting paid. The problem isn’t your work ethic. It’s what you’re focusing on. Chasing leads, switching strategies, launching new offers every few weeks might feel productive, but it’s usually just panic disguised as progress. We talk about why building systems feels boring but is essential, how broad messaging kills trust, and why most people avoid the real work that leads to consistent results. We also get into the mindset traps that keep people stuck, from needing guarantees before taking action to constantly reacting instead of building with intention. If you’re working hard but still not earning what you should, this episode will help you spot what’s really going on. It’s not about working more. It’s about finally doing the right things, repeatedly, even when it’s not exciting. This is the gap between being busy and being profitable. And we’re calling it out.
