Today we’re welcoming on a close friend of ours and someone we’ve grown to know well thanks to our shared love of wine. Join us as we sit down with Andy Delaporte, the Director of Sales for Fox 8 WVUE, to discuss a smattering of topics over a wonderful glass of Italian wine.
We’ll get into his unexpected path into media and learn more about what makes a great salesperson, how to manage and motivate a team, and the power of relationships in business. But Andy’s story goes well beyond his successful sales career, so we talk wine, converting hockey fans, and the importance of building a strong personal network.
