Seizing Opportunities in Los Angeles: "In Los Angeles, it is super normal for people to very transparently ask for opportunities."

— Jess Lorimer 00:17:3700:17:44

 

Navigating Opportunities in LA: "A lot of people are working in spaces where they feel like they might meet people who are able to cultivate those opportunities or whether they're going to be able to have more of those opportunity cultivating conversations, which I think is very cool."

— Jess Lorimer 00:19:5300:20:11

 

Maximise the Return on Networking: "If you're going to go to an event make sure that it is going to be something that is going to generate a return on investment for you. Not just in terms of what you're learning but in terms of who are you spending time with? And how is that helping you move forward?"

— Jess Lorimer 00:12:2800:12:45

The New Landscape of Corporate Sales: "With corporate companies, can you show that you are capable of delivering the transformation that you promise you can? Do you go in and do a great job and have a clear upsell process? Do you have a clear B to B sales process where you're able to target new corporate clients consistently, book sales calls consistently, navigate those sales calls competently, and be selling premium price solutions that you actually deliver really, really well to those organisations."

— Jess Lorimer 00:34:3700:35:10

The Dark Side of B2C Marketing: "Ultimately, the B2C space had become this kind of cesspit, which is quite a strong word, isn't it? But it had become this kind of cesspit where funnels and not actually delivering what was promised to clients had become the norm."

— Jess Lorimer 00:06:3100:06:48

 

Non-Competitive Networking: "It's a very different energy because it's not, like a kind of competitive, we all have to be the best in the room so that we get the most, you know, clients from the room or that we get the most, like, use out of audience building opportunities."

— Jess Lorimer 00:14:0100:14:21
