The Accidental Salesperson Podcast

The Accidental Salesperson is a podcast for people who don’t think of themselves as salespeople—but sell every day.

If you’ve ever had to move an idea forward, gain buy-in, influence a decision, or advocate for your work, you’re already in sales—whether your title says it or not.

Hosted by Tim Duthie, a sales transformation leader who’s spent years on the front lines with operators, project teams, executives, and customers, this podcast explores the real lessons learned where work actually happens. Not theory. Not hype. Just practical insights from sales and adjacent disciplines that shape how we show up, communicate, and create momentum in our careers.

Each episode features conversations and reflections on:

  • Selling ideas inside organizations
  • Building trust and credibility without a “sales persona”
  • Communicating clearly in moments that matter
  • Navigating resistance, change, and uncertainty
  • Applying sales thinking to leadership, projects, and everyday work

This isn’t about scripts, gimmicks, or closing techniques. It’s about understanding people, creating alignment, and moving things forward with integrity.

Because whether you planned it or not, you’re probably an accidental salesperson too.
