Ready to level up your access game?

Whether you're trying to land a first meeting or keep the conversation going after one,

getting past the gatekeeper is a session you know you need.

The reality?

  • Decision makers are protected by gatekeepers - receptionists, PAs, VAs, and even jam-packed schedules.
  • Cracking that code isn’t just about persistence.
  • It’s about mastering the language of access - a soft skill that’s becoming a power move in business development.

What to Expect:

  • Bob Spence asks Rob McPhun how to develop the language of access.
  • Rob - ex-police officer, communication specialist, and author of ‘Perfecting Conversations’.
  • He brings street-smart strategy to the boardroom, sharing how to turn tricky follow-ups and blocked access into smooth, credible conversations.

Learn how to:

  • Use tone and wording to build trust fast
  • Navigate tough gatekeepers without coming across pushy
  • Stay cool, clear, and confident when stakes are high
  • Expect honest insights, real-world tactics, and the kind of communication glow-up that gets you in the room where decisions are made.

Perfect for:

  • Sales PROs
  • Business development teams
  • Legal, banking, and creative sector connectors
  • Anyone tired of being told “they’re not available right now”
  • Don’t miss your chance to sharpen the skill that opens doors.
