We Have a Meeting (WHAM) is an all-encompassing sales agency that specialises in generating new business for companies, but how boring does that sound? We launched in the Summer of 2021, with a list of company numbers and a mobile phone. After (enough) years in the sales world, our Founder spotted the gap between problems and solutions, and businesses that were sufferably aware that they had only 1 of the 2. He was crafty, our Founder. He thought “Let’s build a bridge!” Not for people to get over their issues and move on, but to close that gap between problems and solutions, so that everyone can unite and live harmoniously. So, think of WHAM as a bridge. It could be sturdy like the Golden Gate Bridge, or like the rickety one off I’m a Celeb. Either way, problems need solving and we can help with that. If you can’t build a bridge in-house, get over it or get in touch! WHAT DOES WHAM DO? Most businesses have a love-hate relationship with sales. They’re great when they get in front of people but, try as they might, can’t seem to get consistent, predictable meetings in the diary with either enough people or the right types of people. As a result, they’re probably not seeing the growth they were expecting or deserve. The WHAM team is often invited in to help solve this very problem, often for good. Picture us putting you right where you need to be - talking to enough decision-makers who are dealing with challenges that your expertise can solve. We're not just about fixing problems; we're here to light a fire, get people motivated.

Rory Sutherland reveals the one £4 book from 1916 that he says is “better than Harvard Business Review.” The book - Obvious Adams by Robert Updegraff holds timeless lessons on creativity, perception, and why obvious ideas often change everything. In this clip, Rory explains why modern marketers rely too much on data, models, and metrics and not enough on human psychology. Obvious Adams reminds us that the most effective ideas are often so simple they’re ignored. He connects the dots between creativity, behavioral science, and business success, showing how the best marketing isn’t about algorithms or efficiency, but about noticing what everyone else overlooks. Whether you’re a marketer, entrepreneur, or creative thinker, this story will change how you see “obvious” ideas forever. What’s your “Obvious Adams” moment? Share it in the comments below.
