What’s a business lie that you’ve been told? Or a misconception you have about the various roles within business?

That marketing and sales are one in the same?

Lies! They are not, and I’m here to tell you exactly why. (I mean if you’re a solopreneur they are kind of the same however, they’re also not… but that’s a different story.)

In this episode, let’s unpack the distinction between marketing and sales and how they can lead to misplaced expectations in your business. Marketing should be your lead generator, build brand awareness and bring potential customers to your digital doorstep, not your sales closer. When you have unrealistic expectations, you set everyone up for failure so knowing the difference between these two pivotal business roles can help levelset and set the stage for business growth. 

We’ll illuminate the common pitfalls business owners face and share some practical tips to enhance your marketing efforts.
