If someone asked you right now, “What do you do?”, how would you answer them? How confident would you be in your answer? How salesy would it sound? Would your answer be boring? If you’ve ever struggled to answer this common question, then you are far from alone. My guest today makes it his mission to help people like you and me explain what they do better so that we can find better clients and better-paying jobs.
