Sales & Dating: Why Discovery Is Key
What’s up all you lowly lovely people!
While you probably shouldn't take my advice on dating... I recorded this right after valentines day and it seemed fitting.
I do consider myself to be pretty good at sales and you know how they say life is sales? Well, after getting back into the dating game, I realized how similar they actually are... for good or bad this is what I've learned.
This episode is a little bit of a rant. Would love to hear what you think about me doing more solo episodes like this. If you hated it. Don’t worry... we have a ton of exciting interviews lined up and ready to release! Regardless, connect with me on linkedin and say what’s up 🙏
