In this value-packed episode of The Entrepreneurial You, Heneka Watkis-Porter sits down with Drewbie Wilson—sales coach, entrepreneur, and time-management strategist—to uncover the secrets behind sales success, mindset mastery, and purposeful use of time. Known for his transformative perspective on sales and discipline, Drewbie explains why high earners aren’t necessarily working harder, but thinking differently. He breaks down the invisible gap between average and extraordinary performance, centering on the irreplaceable trio: time, energy, and effort.
Together, Heneka and Drewbie dive deep into how shifting from a “sales-first” mentality to a “service-first” mindset can drive authentic conversations and foster long-term success in business.
From Scarcity to Strategy: Making Time Work for You
Drewbie reveals that the true game-changer in sales isn’t technique—it’s mindset. High achievers know how to leverage their time and aren’t afraid to invest money to free it up. Instead of hoarding resources and trying to do it all alone, top salespeople understand the power of delegation and structured growth. This, Drewbie says, is what separates low earners from the top 1% in the sales world.
Heneka agrees, noting that many entrepreneurs struggle with letting go of tasks that don’t serve their highest priorities. Drewbie’s advice? Focus on your zone of genius and be ruthless about time-wasting habits.
Sales as Service: How Shifting Your Focus Changes Everything
Rather than focusing solely on closing deals, Drewbie promotes a service-based mindset. He and Heneka discuss how this shift not only improves confidence but also leads to deeper client relationships. Heneka shares her personal evolution in the insurance world—initially resistant to the role’s intrusive questions, but eventually embracing them as tools for meaningful dialogue. Drewbie underscores that discomfort in sales often stems from a lack of alignment or understanding of the client’s true needs.
Ask Better Questions, Make Bigger Sales
Drewbie emphasises the art of asking hard questions to uncover a client’s pain points and motivations. Using a real-world example from Heneka’s upcoming leadership cruise, he outlines how sales strategy transforms when you truly know your customer. It’s not just about pitching a product—it’s about creating a solution that resonates with someone’s specific problem.
Cold vs Warm Leads: Intentional Outreach That Converts
In sales, not all leads are created equal. Drewbie lays out a simple yet effective system for categorising leads—cold versus warm—and how to engage each. Warm leads are familiar with your work and more receptive, while cold leads require context and rapport-building. He explains how consistent follow-up and curiosity-driven questioning can warm even the coldest leads over time.
The Power of Precision in the Sales Process
Sales success isn’t about manipulation—it’s about understanding. Drewbie breaks down the importance of listening, diagnosing a client’s problem, and presenting a step-by-step solution. When done correctly, the close becomes a natural conclusion rather than a pushy sell. He also addresses how tools like AI can enhance, not replace, genuine human connection in the sales process.
Time, Energy & Effort: The Ultimate Investment
Drewbie’s core message is simple yet powerful: your greatest assets are your time, energy, and effort. If used intentionally, these can generate exponential returns. He encourages listeners to rethink how they allocate their daily focus, making space for what truly drives growth and revenue.
