This is my FAVORITE podcast interview BECAUSE it's with my friend, Marcus Sheridan. Marcus Sheridan once grew a pool company, DURING AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, by simply answering questions online from his potential buyers. That's right – when 100% of discretionary spending on POOLS was gone, he blew up the pool company he was a partner at. And NOW, Marcus is a highly sought-after international keynote speaker who excites audiences with his simple, yet powerful transformational business approach. Marcus has been dubbed a "Web Marketing Guru" by the New York Times and in 2017 Forbes names Marcus one of 20 "Speakers You Don't Want to Miss." You will NOT want to miss this podcast with Marcus because it's PURE GOLD if you're in sales and marketing.
