When it comes to business conversations, what is it that makes some people instantly memorable while others can sort of fade into the background?
According to David Lomas, CEO of M3 Media Group and founder of Thought Club, the answer often lies in one simple thing: the questions we ask.
David explains: “Improving sales results is certainly not about talking more, it’s about creating real impact in the conversations you’re having,” “Right now, with the economy tightening, many businesses are beginning to realise how vital this really is.”
David has spent years helping business leaders and their teams use thought leadership questioning to transform their everyday interactions. Especially those opportunities that occur when you least expect it – maybe at a lunch, a conference or particularly at somewhere like a business exhibition, where you can have so many chance interactions.
He continues: “The people who stand out. In these sometimes accidental encounters, are the ones who ask the right questions. One powerful, relevant question can spark interest, open up dialogue, and leave a lasting impression.”
But questions are only part of the story. As David points out, credibility is equally important. “At M3 Media, we combine those thought-provoking questions with published third-party content.”
“That way, our clients aren’t just asking smart questions – they’re backing them up with credible, independent content that demonstrates their expertise.”
This approach doesn’t just improve sales conversations; it strengthens your marketing communication as well. “Legitimate third-party endorsement can be a powerful tool for any campaign,” David explains.
“Thought Leadership content will give an edge to both your sales & marketing”

“In the PR world, ‘earned content’ is regarded as the most valuable form of visibility. By repurposing this published content, businesses can maximise their brand impact across multiple marketing channels.”
The result? Stronger conversations, more engaged prospects, and marketing campaigns that cut through the noise.
David sums it up very simply: “Whether you’re networking, meeting a prospect, or even chatting on Zoom, it’s not the loudest voice that gets remembered — it’s the one that asks the right question at the right time.”
