The Honourable Art of Good Salesmanship

The Honourable Art of Good Salesmanship - A guide to ethical, effective exchange

Drawing on years of experience in corporate sales and business development, The Honourable Art of Good Salesmanship reframes selling as something far simpler and more sustainable than persuasion - structured, honest exchange. At its centre is SAS — Sales as Service — a framework built on integrity, alignment, and clean decision-making, designed to replace pressure and performance with clarity and trust.

It's a philosophy of exchange, paired with the practical tools to apply it.

Inside, you'll find:

The principles behind SAS (Sales as Service) and why sales isn't a personality type

How to run a proper fact-finding call and why skipping it costs you later and most importantly The art of the honourable close and how to ensure repeat business.

A full set of ready-to-use templates opening calls, research and lead generation, pitches, and sales confirmations — tailored separately for startup founders, SMEs and independents, and corporate sales

Whether you're a founder pitching investors, a small business owner reaching out to stockists, a consultant closing new clients, or a creative selling your work, this book gives you a way to sell that you won't feel the need to apologise for.

For writers, artists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs, consultants, charities, and anyone who has ever thought: "I'm not really a salesperson."
