Today Clint and I are discussing how to bridge the gap between brand strategy and sales execution. From prioritizing accounts to pitching to retail buyers, we break down how a strong brand foundation supports smarter sales decisions—and prevents wasted time and money.

What You’ll Hear:

  • Why sales can feel too overcomplicated—and ideas of how to adjust
  • How Clint and his co-founder shifted from "grow fast" to "grow focused"
  • How pieces of your brand strategy impact your pitch
  • The role of packaging, pricing, and positioning in a sales conversation
  • Why alignment across all of your brand touchpoints is non-negotiable
  • A sneak peek at next episode’s look into sales planning

If you’re ready to sell with more focus, this episode is for you.
