This Halloween, the 30 Minutes to President’s Club crew takes you inside the haunted house of sales — where deals disappear, demos die, and negotiations bleed revenue. Nick, Armand, and Steve break down five sales ghosts that secretly destroy your pipeline and show you exactly how to exorcise them using elite B2B sales tactics, closing frameworks, and storytelling mastery. If you’re serious about hitting quota, closing complex deals, and running world-class discovery and demos, this spooky special is your sales survival guide. The 5 Sales Ghosts (and How to Defeat Them): The Surface-Level Spirit: Your deal vanishes because you’re only finding small annoyances, not six-figure business problems that matter to executives. The Hypnosis Demo: Feature-dumping kills attention — learn how to demo through stories that emotionally hook buyers and make them see their future state. The Single-Threaded Specter: Depending on one champion is a death sentence. Multithread your deals and get power involved early. The Negotiation of a Thousand Cuts: Every tiny discount, seat, or billing term slices your margin. Follow Armand’s 6-step framework to negotiate once and win big. The Vendor Review Pit of Despair: IT and Legal can bury your deal alive. Run parallel reviews, set “redline deadlines,” and use mutual action plans to hit close dates.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
