It's Who You Know

The Elevator Pitch You have 30 seconds to describe yourself. Go. "I help companies scale their sales teams." Short, punchy, value-driven.

Active Listening Most people listen to reply, not to understand. Active listening involves eye contact, nodding, and asking follow-up questions. It makes people feel valued.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) The ability to read a room. Knowing when to joke and when to be serious. Leaders with high EQ have happier teams.
