Story time over here at Humanity Sells! We’re talking about times we were tricked. Bamboozled. The old bait and switch. And surprise: we didn’t love it.

Brandon was tricked in the dead of night by a possum playing dead. Or was it? Nate got DM’d on LinkedIn by a prospect feeding compliments and what seemed like genuine interest. 

 The result from being tricked, plain and simple, is distrust. Listen in to learn why the best leaders in consulting, marketing, and digital transformation won’t try to bamboozle you—they lead with honesty and aim to create real connections that lead to genuine leads.

Humanity can be a strategy, but it should also be the end goal. In this episode, Nate and Brandon take a deep dive into how your business and the way you sell products and services can contribute to humanity. You don’t have to sacrifice humanity to grow, and you don’t have to use humanity to manipulate growth either.

The more you focus on and invest in brand awareness, the better your ROI is on your marketing spend. There's data to support that. But it doesn't have to be a daunting task.
