Sales used to be about knocking on doors. Now it’s about showing up in feeds. But has the game of sales really changed… or just the tools?
In this video, I share a story about my dad’s old-school hustle and building relationships face-to-face.
Now? It’s a digital world. Cold calls have turned into DMs. Drop-ins into Zooms.
But at the core, it’s still about one thing: building trust.
🎯 What You’ll Learn:
• The truth about “what’s changed” in sales
• Why human connection is still the foundation
• How technology amplifies—but doesn’t replace—relationships
• What “showing up” looks like in 2025
• How to bring authenticity into the digital sales world
