The roast
Will Aitken moved halfway across the world just to realize his most marketable skill is filming himself doing impressions of the people who actually know how to close a deal. He isn’t a sales trainer, he’s just the guy who learned that if you dress up mediocrity in a meme, you can charge for the book.
About Will
Just another LinkedIn sales influencer... but funnier and better looking than most. Born in the roundabout filled town of Milton Keynes. After getting the worlds most pointless degree at University of Brighton I decided to go “find myself” by working in a French Ski Resort, backpacking through south-east Asia, before temporarily settling down in Sydney Australia where I got work as a recruiter. While in Australia I met a Canadian woman who imported me North America. After landing I was determined to work in SaaS sales because I saw on Reddit that you can make BANK selling software. Just a couple of years later I was the top rep on my team. This gave me time and freedom to open up TikTok and in April of 2021 I made my first video, then I made one everyday for 6-months, sharing relatable selling comedy & tips I was learning in my sales role. I discovered my love for content creation and led me to grow an audience, helping launch my career into keynotes, book writing, and sales training. Expertise include: New Business Development, Account Management, Cold Calling, Sales Proposals/Presentations, Marketing Product Knowledge (SEO, EDM, Retargeting), Recruitment Services, Headhunting, Email Prospecting, Vice President (SEO purposes), VP, CEO, LinkedIn Recruiter/Sales Navigator, Boolean Blackbelt, Training, Sales Kick Offs, Speaker, Speech, Sales Management, and Fixing Up to Look Sharp.

This is the greatest and best prospecting playbook in the world… ...Template. Long time ago, me and co-author Keenan here We was grindin’ on a late-night workshop All of a sudden There joined a CRO In the middle of our Zoom call And he said: “Create the greatest outbound playbook in the world… or I’ll miss my number” Well me and Keenan We looked at each other And we each said: “Help me understand, when you say you’ll miss you number, could you be more specific? Okay so your sales team is closing well at 25%, but pipeline coverage is inconsistent at best and 50% short at worst. Whats you
