Every day, consumers vote with their time. Attention is the new currency and if you aren’t getting eyeballs on your efforts, then no one is paying attention to what you’re doing. Marketing yourself, and your business, is the greatest sales strategy you can subscribe to.
On today’s episode of The Richard Robbins Show I was privileged enough to sit down with best-selling author, award-winning advertising writer, speaker, comedian and “Top 10 Creative Canadians” as named by Marketing Magazine, Ron Tite.
Founder and CEO of Church + State marketing agency, Ron has been known to set the benchmark for compelling and innovative marketing strategies. Working with Fortune 500 companies, Ron has helped blend advertising and content together to create authentic, high-quality promotions.
For Ron, being an effective salesperson is more than just selling yourself. “If you don’t believe in something that goes beyond selling the home, you’re just competing against the entire rest of the market.” Ron is a firm believer in selling your values as a sales professional rather than only selling your skill.
In today’s episode of The Richard Robbins Show, Ron and I talk about effective marketing and sales strategies, why authenticity is crucial for the success of your business and why being a problem solver is a skill set every entrepreneur needs to master.
