One of the most powerful things I learned in sales was the transfer of energy. Now, I didn't start off that way. When I first started cold calling and selling advertising for 918moms.com, I had a script and I awkwardly tried to remember it word for word when I was selling to potential clients. It was brutal and it didn't feel authentic to me. One d…

When I first started D2 Branding, the #1 thing I was tracking was my revenue! After all, we are in business to make money, which lets us make an impact on those we love.

It’s not every day you get to Zoom with Martha Stewart — the original influencer long before Instagram was even a thing.

The world today is more distracting than ever! Every five seconds I feel like I get a notification of a text, email, phone call, or social media letting you know someone is engaging with your posts.

We've all been there where people reach out and ask you "Can I pick your brain" about your area of expertise. If it's a friend, that is one thing. But when strangers do that and expect hours of your time, it feels disrespectful. It is a tricky thing to navigate as they may be a potential client, but you can't spend hours of your day going to coffee…

I met with a wellness company the other day to pitch a marketing plan. They needed leads ASAP and I could have just pitched a Facebook + Instagram ad campaign and got the business, but that is not what they needed. Their website had no human connection, no emotion, just scientific facts about their product that no one will relate to. I suggested th…

I get hundreds of cold emails and LinkedIn messages every day where someone is trying to sell me something.

As I was driving home this past weekend, I noticed there were phonebooks placed at every mailbox in my neighborhood.
