Selling Service

I support your sales and marketing by putting you and your business into words. I craft blogs, posts, website copy, articles and any other writing you might need.

A bit about me...

Selling Service was 10 years old in 2024. My main activity is writing business content of all sorts, and helping you build a plan to make the best use of it and integrate content with your sales processes. I dodge the word "copywriter" as I do a lot more than that. 

What’s one of the best ways of building a sales pipeline? Be visible. Demonstrate your knowledge and abilities. How do you do that? Through consistent messaging, Newsletters, LinkedIn and social media, blogs and regularly updated website content.

You need marketing collateral, which includes photos, videos and graphics, that reflects your vision and goals for the business in 2025. And you need a plan to make it happen and keep you accountable for engaging with the people you want to turn into clients. I can help you build that plan. Let’s talk about your goals and aspirations and how we translate those into meaningful messages to build you a valuable sales pipeline. In the last 11 years I’ve written for clients in sectors from construction to dog walking, and I’d love to help you find the voice for your business.

I also write in the music world for several online and print magazines, reviewing, writing features and also as Books Editor for Americana UK.

I have lived in Clevedon for over 30 years. After several hundred years working for a couple of large family firms, I found myself in a huge corporate nightmare, at which time I decided to run away and do some real work. If you'd told 20 year old me that I would write for a living and have an online CD shop on the Discogs platform (Selling Songs - Everything good, jazz, rock, blues, folk soul and funk, but no NOW Cds) he'd have been pretty happy...

The beginners guide to distinguishing value from price

by Tim Martin on 24th Mar 2025

I may have mentioned before that in another part of the forest I have an online CD shop, selling mainly on the Discogs platform and at record fairs. One of the things that continues to puzzle me is the confusion between price and...
