As Trudi shares, personal branding isn’t just a sales tactic – it’s a powerful tool that builds trust and attracts meaningful connections.
Trudi and Dr. Trevor Miranda cover the ins and outs of personal branding, becoming trusted advisors online, LinkedIn profile tips, and how to avoid oversharing on social media. They also discuss the 10 + 10 Sales System from Trudi’s book, “The Digital Sales Rep”, and how to overcome fear to achieve your goals.
