Listen Later

People don’t refer logos—they refer people. In this episode of Brand Chops, Zack and Chris break down how to build a personal brand that turns your networking group into your sales team. From refining your 60-second pitch to avoiding brand confusion (yes, your LinkedIn photo matters), we walk through the do’s and don’ts of brand-aligned networking. Whether you’re showing up to BNI, a chamber mixer, or a Zoom call, this is your cheat sheet to being remembered and referred.
