What does it take to unlock 8-figure sales success? My honest answer is that I DO NOT KNOW. But I know some peeps that do. All month long, I’m highlighting some of my favorite speakers and topics in advance of the Growth Summit on November 21st. Up next are absolute WIZARDS in the digital marketing, lead gen and content game that are going head to head (cage match style). Ryal Curtis of NP Strategy and Derek Tsuboi of Rediscover Digital Ryal is finally (been recruiting him for years) joining us for our FIRST EVER spitfire session on sales.?He cut his teeth at the University of South Carolina and cemented his social media cred by completely re-inventing how BlueCross BlueShield of SC did digital marketing (building the organization’s team from the ground up).?Now he’s leading social media strategy for NP Strategy, one of the fastest growing public relations and communications firms in the southeast.?He’s built teams, he’s managed monster campaigns and he’s here to talk about how to 5X your lead generation through organic social content. Derek Tsuboi LIT IT UP ? ?? ?? onstage 2 years ago in a Growth Summit workshop session and this fan favorite is coming back! Some people have cracked the code on how to generate serious results with paid ads and he's one of the top thought leaders on the topic. He'll be going head to head with Ryal in a "battle royale" of lead gen strategies, with Jennifer Levy Frye jumping in to put them both to shame with Cold Outreach (and Summit's own ? Matt Vaadi talking sales and closing). In this session, we’ll uncover what the right mix of messages, assets, channels and tactics are that can turn your organization into a revenue-producing machine.?We’ll explore this and more in a rapid fire session with four very unique angles on the sales and customer acquisition process: What You'll Experience: ????
