He enjoys the fact that his business model is scalable; so whether he is working with a Chamber Of Commerce or an aspiring entrepreneur, he customizes the process to yield the best results.

Branding, when done properly, preserves your core values in the market. Most people’s first interaction with your company won’t be with a warm handshake with you or seeing directly how courteous and kind you are to customers. They see your flyer, business card, and other print collateral and if it doesn’t depict those same values the market will likely form a negative conclusion about your company. Brandon believes that professional branding ensures the experience is consistent.”

Learn how to move out of the survival zone and into the power zone by creating a more effective relationship with your emotions.
• Dancing Naked: Moving through Life with Power, Vulnerability and Grace – A provocative look at authentic self-expression and how stepping into your true self brings clarity, freedom and joy to your life.
• Before You Even Open Your Mouth – We’re always communicating something. The question is: are you aware of what you’re communicating? Discover how your nonverbal cues can create or destroy trust in a split second.
• Don’t Take It So Personally – Was that my fault? Knee-jerk reactions are simply a human being’s most common response to a wide variety of events.

Today, The Sales Company serves individuals and companies around the world. The connecting thread between all of these is that you are “good people,” You treat others the way they want to be treated. You do what’s good for all involved. You sleep well at night. Integrity is your north star.

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t get a “thrill” from helping someone. Helping others is a way of life for me.

After enjoying so much success in the technology industry back in the “good ol’ days” of selling for many different manufacturing companies, I felt like I had earned a PhD in sales. My “helping” grew from selling for different companies to consulting with companies about how they could sell better, smarter and make more doing what they were already doing.

Early on, I realized that my view of sales was very different than other consultants’ view of sales. I asked lots of questions about everything from hiring the right people to how the company was doing overall financially. The end result often took us away from sales consulting and moved the company toward the real problems that were affecting sales.

Today, my dream of The Sales Company is alive and well as a solopreneur consultant. That was—and still is—a great way for me to personally work with the individuals and companies who want to work personally with me. However, I always knew what I really wanted.
