James Reed: all about business · 64. How to convert visibility into sales and long-term growth | Penelope Chilvers · 2 Feb 2026 podcast

I don't think the British are very good at selling.

I think if you go to America and you see how wonderfully good they are at selling and how passionate they are about business and commerce, even my customers, the enthusiasm they show.

for me and my business is quite astounding and how much they support it because they believe in what I'm doing.

I think they're very articulate, the Americans.

I think they have a passion for business and work.

and a good work ethic.

And I think we can learn that from them.

We're actually in Texas at the moment.

We have a new showroom there.

So we're selling the autumn winter collection there.

Cowboy boots are our best selling boots throughout the US.

And they have been for many years.

They're well known for being, I think, incredibly comfortable and lightweight compared to the

the Mexican or American made cowboy boots.

You don't need to run them over with a truck before wearing them to soften them.

Yes.

Yes, we are.

I don't think we'll do that at the moment.

Things are too much up in the air, aren't they?

And that would be a very expensive thing to do.
