Why should brand matter to salespeople? Isn’t that marketing’s job?
Marketing expert Vince Freeman and sales leader David Schweisthal invite salespeople and sales leaders to think twice when it comes to brand.
In this conversation, they share why every salesperson should be keenly aware of and actively contributing to expanding both their company’s brand and their personal brand as they work to win and keep customers. They explain how brand influences the sales process, leads customers down the sales funnel, mitigates risk for buyers and strongly influences customer satisfaction and retention.
