Business:Entrepreneurship
“Find someone whose message you resonate with that teaches sales.”
—Ryann Dowdy
Every entrepreneur has to dip their toes into sales at some point. But how do you learn how to effectively sell? And, better yet, how do you learn how to sell without feeling icky or intimidated?
I’ll admit, these are questions that I struggled with when first launching my business (and sometimes even today)!
My guest, Ryann Dowdy, has trained not hundreds, but thousands of people in the art of sales!
Ryann is an expert in the science of “social selling,” or leveraging social media as a primary connection tool — and no, that doesn’t just mean selling through your DMs!
