How should salespersons brand themselves?
You probably thought this as unnecessary but good salespeople who want to stay on top of their game and further their sales careers put considerable effort into building their brand.
Your brand is how people perceive you. And in sales, it starts with establishing that you are an expert and not someone that can be commoditized.
My guest in this podcast episode is Erik Huberman, the founder and CEO of the highly successful marketing agency Hawke Media. He provides valuable insights into this topic of branding.
Erik shares how trust is vital to the salesperson, the important role selling and communication plays now more than ever in today’s marketing landscape, and many more.
Make sure to stay tuned to this episode so you can also find out more about how you can avail of his book The Hawke Method: The Three Principles of Marketing That Made Over 3,000 Brands Soar.
