Sales Made Simple

with Gilly Thompson

Sales training from one of the UK's leading female sales trainers.

Working in sales can be completely overwhelming... I totally get it! That's why I've created my online training formula for success:

Traditional sales methods are old fashioned, pushy and make you feel icky. You would rather avoid selling than become that stereotypical sales person. Who can blame you!


Sales Made Simple teaches modern business owners and entrepreneurs how to sell into every interaction WITHOUT being "icky, pushy, slimy or sleazy".

It doesn't matter if you're an:

  • Online business owner with a developing following
  • Business owner with a growing team who don't know how to sell
  • VA or admin expert who can magically give people extra time
  • Mental Health coach or resilience practitioner who can help people
  • Copywriter who specialises in stories that move people to buy
  • Sales Manager with a team who you know need development
  • Rising star in sales who wants to make more money or help others
  • Fitness coach who can energise and revitalise people
  • Accountant with great software

You need to understand how to handle those sales situations in a way that creates trust between you and your prospective customer, but all the ways you’ve seen the “experts” do it just feels pushy, icky or cringeworthy.


That changes now!

Without 'selling' and sales your business will not and cannot make money.


So I'm on a mission to teach other modern businesses how they can sell into every single business action they take WITHOUT being "icky, pushy, slimy or sleazy".


I want to share with you my 'no-brainer' formula that me and my team have used in over 2,000 sales calls converted over 60% of the people we have spoken to, and made well over 7 figures in doing so!

I remember it well, back in the day I was...


"Crippled by sales overwhelm, losing faith in my sales ability, falling behind target, no one to support me."

That was all before I created my 'Sales Made Simple' programme and won Sales Person of the Year in 2007 and 2008 working for Durex Condoms. I sold more condoms, lubricants and sex toys sold than anyone else worldwide.
