AI will not fix a messy business, it will just help the mess move faster. Weak process? Faster confusion. Weak message? More noise. Poor follow-up? Still poor follow-up.
AI can support a business. But it cannot make the business work properly.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

Some of the best business growth looks pretty boring from the outside.

Clear standards.
Good follow-up.
People doing what they said they would do.

Consistency is not flashy.
It just works.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

Your business might not be stuck because the opportunity is small.
It might be stuck because everything still runs through you.

Growth starts when the business can move with the founder, not only through them.

British Gas, EDF and E.ON are all competing in a market where digital alone is not enough. Face-to-face acquisition gives brands something online channels struggle to create at the same speed: a real human interaction.

AI disrupts everything and strategies are ever-changing. But our core values? Non-negotiable.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

Real communication is not about how much you say. It is about whether the other person feels understood, valued and clear enough to take action. Read more here: https://t.co/OMR6XYqz1D

Growth does not happen because you want it. It happens when pressure, standards and discipline start pushing you away from today’s reality and towards the vision you keep talking about. Comfort keeps you level. Consistent action moves you forward.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

When everyone can do it, it's worthless.

When no one can replicate it, it's priceless.

Face-to-face just became scarce.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

Your time is an investment. Your energy is an investment. Your conversations are an investment. Your attitude is an investment. Progress is built through small daily deposits that compound over time. More here:

1.2 million call center jobs are about to disappear! Where do you think all that sales talent is headed? Straight into face-to-face. When one industry gets disrupted, another industry gains talent!

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

Stop thinking AI can change everything. A power drill can help build a house faster, but it still needs skilled hands, judgement and direction. AI is a tool. It can speed things up. But in sales, trust is still built by people.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

AI just killed digital credibility. Customers can't tell what's real anymore. So they're demanding the one thing AI can't fake: you.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

In business, “complex” usually means you haven’t made it clear yet. People hide behind complicated plans and fancy slides because clarity removes the excuses. Simple targets. Real feedback. Daily movement. That’s what actually builds results.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

Even in 2025, Visa data showed nearly three-quarters of sales are still in physical outlets. Digital might drive discovery. But decisions still happen in person. AI may write your pitch — but it won’t shake the customer’s hand when the deal closes.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

Success = maximising your full potential. And that means giving it 100%. Because when you give less than that, there’s always someone else to blame. When you go all‑in, there’s nowhere to hide — and that’s where transformation starts.

Investors diversify. Sales professionals should too. Build balance. Measure return. Protect your capital, your time, and energy. Read more here:

The key message at the Owner’s Summit this year was: Comfort Is the Enemy of Growth! Comfort feels safe, until you realise it’s where progress goes to die. The moment you get comfortable, you stop chasing your potential.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

A target isn’t pressure. It’s a steering wheel. Too many sales teams obsess over the number at the end of the week, the scoreboard. Targets keep you on the road when the weather changes. That’s how consistency is built.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

Everyone’s afraid AI will take their job. It’s already taking somebody’s job, just not the one doing the hard conversations in the room. The future isn’t “AI vs. sales.” It’s AI + the human who can look someone in the eye and close.

[Josh Cote @JoshCoteLondon]

Most salespeople don’t have a performance problem; they have a system problem! Reliable performance is about having a machine that works, even when you’re not “feeling it.”
