Selling with Heart: How Scripts Create Trust, Not Pressure

🎓 Masterclass with Debbie Hull

Debbie Hull is a UK-based sales trainer and co-founder of Sloan & Hall, a consultancy specialising in ethical, structured sales coaching. With over forty years in the industry, she has led, trained, and mentored teams ranging from small start-ups to national corporations. Known for her warmth and humour, Debbie teaches the human side of selling — grounded in clarity, respect, and confidence.

"A script isn't control — it's confidence in words."

After forty years in sales, Debbie Hull has seen every kind of selling — the awkward, the pushy, and the ones that simply work because they're human. In this grounded masterclass, Debbie joins Taniya Hussain and Giuliana to unpack Ten Reasons for Having a Script When You're Selling.

From her first cold call (“the hardest door to open was my car door”) to training national teams across the UK, Debbie shares what turns pressure into clarity: consistency, simplicity, and respect.

Together, they explore what ethical selling looks like in a world that often confuses structure with manipulation. Debbie's stories bring it to life — cats interrupting, clients hesitating, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing what you're about to say.

You'll hear how to:
• stay confident without sounding rehearsed
• simplify your words so your meaning shines through
• handle objections with calm curiosity
• scale your sales while keeping your ethics intact
• see respect as the real currency in business

Whether you sell coaching, products, or ideas, Debbie's message lands the same:
structure isn't the opposite of authenticity — it's what makes it possible.

From Fear to Framework

Debbie Hull still remembers her first day in sales. "The hardest door to open," she laughs, "was my car door." That single line captures what so many people feel about selling — the nerves, the pressure, the fear of sounding fake.

In this masterclass, Debbie sits down with Taniya Hussain and Giuliana to unpack why a script doesn’t make you sound robotic — it makes you sound prepared. After forty years in sales, she’s seen what happens when people rely only on charm: inconsistency, burnout, and missed trust.

She calls her approach “structured sincerity.” A script, she explains, is not a cage but a rhythm. It keeps you grounded when nerves rise. "Saying the same thing helps you believe it,” she says. “And when you believe it, others do too."

Selling with Integrity

Across the session, Debbie returns again and again to one word: RESPECT.
Respect for time. Respect for data. Respect for people who say no.

She explains how her company, Sloan & Hall, trains teams to track every stage of the sale — not to chase conversions, but to build understanding. Scripts make that possible. They reveal what works, what doesn't, and what language truly connects.

By the end, the tone shifts from nerves to gratitude. Debbie leaves viewers with a truth that reshapes how selling feels:

“Structure isn't the opposite of authenticity — it's what makes it possible.”

For anyone who's ever hated selling, this class isn't about persuasion. It's about peace of mind — the calm that comes when your words finally match your intentions.

Structure Frees the Mind

What makes Debbie's teaching stand out is her warmth and her realism. She doesn't pretend selling is easy. She just knows it's easier when it's organised.

Her ten reasons for using a script start with simplicity and consistency — two words that quietly dismantle fear. “A confused mind doesn't buy,” she reminds. When your message is clear, your tone relaxes. When you know what to say, you can finally listen.

The class moves from practical to deeply ethical. Debbie shows how structure creates professionalism without pressure. “A great script guides,” she says, “a bad one manipulates.” She models what it means to sell with presence — calm, responsive, never pushy. For her, structure and empathy aren't opposites; they're partners.
