I don’t know about you, but 2025 has been a grind.
Every sale feels like it’s dragging through wet cement.
Buyers are cautious, distracted, and taking forever to decide.
And maybe, if you’re honest, you’re tired too.
You’re counting down to December. You want to rest. Refuel. Reset.
The thought of one more workshop? Probably feels like too much.
I get it.
But maybe, just maybe, part of you is still fired up.
Maybe you can feel that 2026 could be your year.
Maybe you’re itching to use these last few weeks to plan, sharpen, and hit January at full throttle — while everyone else is still snoozing off their holiday hangovers.
If that’s you: the one who’s restless, hungry, and ready to shift gears, keep reading.
Because the Mindfluence™ - How To Persuade Anybody To Do (Almost) Anything on 3 December isn’t just another workshop.
It’s the ignition switch.
The reset button.
The moment you stop surviving the market and start shaping it.
But if you’d rather wait until February to get going, if you’re fine easing into 2026 and figuring it out later ... no judgment.
Scroll on. Maybe check Facebook.
Because Mindfluence™ - How To Persuade Anybody To Do (Almost) Anything isn’t for everyone. Well, not in December at least.
It’s for the few who are done waiting to be pushed over the finish line, and are ready to sprint there on their own.
This workshop is for you if…
You’re great at what you do, but you’re not closing as many deals as you should.
You know your product delivers, yet your words aren’t cutting through.
You’ve got a strong work ethic but want sharper influence; less force, more flow.
You want to sound confident and compelling without feeling “salesy.”
You’re tired of being ghosted after sending proposals.
You want a proven structure for running persuasive, professional sales meetings.
You’re curious about how AI and psychology can make you a better communicator.
It's not for you if…
You’re looking for shortcuts, scripts, or “closing tricks.” You've got to do the work.
You still believe that pressure equals persuasion.
You’re not willing to refine how you speak, listen, and connect.
I’ve spent the last 25 years helping salespeople close more deals more consistently.
In that time, as a sales leader, I’ve sat through hundreds of sales pitches.
If I’m being kind, they were barely passable.
If I’m being honest, most were terrible.
They opened with their solution too soon.
They tried to connect through some canned rapport-building pitch but didn’t really connect.
They rushed straight past discovery; that sacred space where trust forms, honesty surfaces, and the real sale actually begins.
They never unearthed the dominant buying motive (the real reason a prospect says yes).
And when the first objection landed, they folded.
Most weren’t salespeople at all.
They were walking brochures with a pulse.
Scripted, robotic, and transactional.
The irony?
A brochure would have done a better job. Or, at least it wouldn’t have made the prospect uncomfortable, and wasted their time.
Imagine if…
every sales conversation you had felt natural, confident, and persuasive.
Your LinkedIn messages opened doors instead of getting ignored.
Your meetings flowed with clarity and purpose; no awkward silences, no fumbling for words.
You overcame objections effortlessly, turning “You’re too expensive” into “How soon can we start?”
Your proposals hit the mark and got signed.
Imagine walking out of every sales call knowing you guided the conversation — not pushed it.
Imagine prospects leaning in, nodding, saying “Yes, that’s exactly right. That's exactly what we need.”
That’s what happens when you master the language of influence.
When your words are clean, confident, and connected to human psychology, closing becomes a conversation, not a chase.
You don’t need another sales pep talk.
You need a system! One that rewires how you think, speak, and sell.
That’s exactly what this particular Mindfluence™ workshop: How to Persuade Anybody to Do (Almost) Anything gives you.
It's a one-day, live immersive experience that fuses the science of psychology with the art of language. The goal is to get you sell with clarity, confidence, and connection so that you can close more deals more consistently.
Here’s what you’ll get:
What if you could see the hidden patterns that make people say yes?
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to structure your message, control the rhythm of a conversation, and build trust in a way that feels natural and not forced.
You’ll know exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to say it so it lands.
You’ll get frameworks, scripts, and live examples from real pitches that closed deals.
And then we take it one step further.
1. Record Your Next Sales Pitch
You’ll get custom AI prompts that analyse your pitch, highlight weak spots, and rewrite your phrasing so it actually persuades.
It’s like having a 24/7 mentor who listens, critiques, and sharpens your communication — instantly.
Practice doesn’t make perfect, insight does.
Because the goal isn’t more practice, it’s smarter feedback that helps you grow faster.
Progress isn’t about repetition; it’s about reflection, seeing what works and refining it until it feels effortless.
2. Discover the 7 Immutable Laws of Persuasion
A blueprint for running every sales conversation with intent and flow:
Build Rapport that disarms.
Deliver a General Benefit that builds trust.
Through deeper discovery expose the real problem and plot the preferred future.
Pitch your solution with structure and story.
Handle objections (like “You’re too expensive”) with calm authority.
Close naturally; no tricks, no pressure.
Write proposals that sell themselves.
3. The Messaging Frameworks
Write copy that converts. You’ll learn how to write emails that get replies, LinkedIn connection requests that get accepted, follow-ups that reignite stalled deals, and proposals that feel more like opportunities than documents.
4. The Confidence Shift
The words you use shape how you feel and how others respond.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll walk into every meeting with quiet confidence, deep clarity, and the rare ability to influence without forcing.
Bonus 1: The Mindfluence™ Persuasion Playbook
There’s so much gold inside the Mindfluence™ Workshop where you'll get ideas, strategies, and “aha” moments that will shift the way you sell forever.
But let’s be honest: when your eyes are opened to that many possibilities, it can feel like drinking from a firehose. It can be overwhelming, that's for sure.
That’s why I’ve created the Mindfluence™ Persuasion Playbook. It's a practical companion filled with frameworks, strategies, and word-for-word scripts for almost every sales situation you’ll face.
Work through it in your own time.
Steal what fits. Adapt what doesn’t.
Over time, this playbook will become your sales bible, if you're serious about becoming the best persuader you can be, that is. I hope it will be a dog-eared, highlighted, note-filled guide you’ll come back to every time you need to refine your pitch, sharpen your story, or handle an objection with confidence.
Bonus 2: Four Weeks of Live Q&A Mentorship
Learning is one thing. Applying it in the real world is another.
That’s why I’m not leaving you to figure it out alone.
For four weeks in February 2026, I’ll host a live 1-hour Q&A webinar each week. This will give you a space to unpack your wins, troubleshoot what didn’t land, and refine your approach in real time.
Bring your toughest questions, your best experiments, and the deals that got away.
We’ll unpack it all together and figure out how you can do better next time.
Before Mindfluence™
You chase leads who don’t reply.
You feel like you’re always pitching instead of connecting.
You stumble over objections, second-guess your responses, and lose momentum.
Your emails sound like everyone else’s and get treated that way.
You leave meetings thinking, “I should’ve closed that.”
Selling feels heavy, uncertain, hit-and-miss.
After Mindfluence™
You attract qualified prospects who actually want to talk.
You guide conversations that flow — no awkward pauses, no guesswork.
You handle objections effortlessly, turning “You’re too expensive” into “When can we start?”
Your words feel sharp, intentional, and human — they land.
You send proposals that close themselves because they speak to real pain.
Selling feels light, confident, and in control; like you’ve finally found your rhythm.™
Over the years, I’ve led a dozen sales teams and delivered more than 3,000 sales optimisation interventions — from Malmesbury to Milan.
And after all that, here’s what I know for sure: The best salespeople aren’t the ones who talk the most — they’re the ones who say what matters.
I’ve worked with financial advisors, founders, and frontline salespeople, helping them move from hard selling to heart selling — from chasing transactions to building trust that converts.
Out of that work came The Architecture of Selling, Revenue Pipeline Acceleration, and now Mindfluence™: How to Persuade Anybody to Do (Almost) Anything —my most distilled, practical system yet.
If you’re ready to stop chasing and start connecting, to stop convincing and start persuading, then I’ll see you at Mindfluence™ Intensive on 3 December.
I've also managed to garner 100+ recommendations on LinkedIn and a bunch on Google.
I’ve come to see sales as one of the highest forms of service ... the pure intent to help another human being get what they truly want.
This is what I try and instil in the people I serve: sales professionals.
I know my way around both marketing and sales.
I started as a direct-response copywriter close on two decades ago, learning the craft of words that move people to act.
Since then, I’ve written around 12 million words — including 36 books for others — and one that changed me: What If Hollywood Doesn’t Call? A Fractured Monk’s Guide to Enlightenment. I wrote it during a two-year spiritual retreat. I still return to it often. It keeps me grounded — and reminds me that all great work, in sales or in life, begins with intention.
My hell, Jacques ... I liken your mind to that of the great, early atomic physicist, Frijof Capra, who wrote the original Turning Point and Uncommon Wisdom. Steve Johnson, Scientist
There are writers and then there's a rare breed of word architects, Jacques is such. He has a way with words that have created magic, I rate him as the Charles Dickens of our age. Billy Selekane, Professional Speaker
Jacques brings deep sales expertise, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to engage both leadership and frontline teams in a way that’s insightful, practical, and genuinely inspiring. John Soares, Managing Director, MADjozi
