STC045 How to find your corporate niche - and communicate it to prospective clients

If you've ever wondered why it takes forever for corporate clients to understand what you do or how you can help them? Then this is the episode for you! This episode is for anyone who's struggling to choose their niche, who feels like they lack clarity around their industry or discipline or who is waiting on taking action to sell to corporate companies because they feel like they're missing those all-important, foundational decisions.   Simply put, if you're someone who has an elevator pitch that needs 28 storeys to successfully explain what you do - and who for? Then this is the podcast episode that is going to help you get that quick clarity so that you can start taking fast action on your corporate / B2B sales plan.   ** LIMITED TICKETS ARE CURRENTLY STILL AVAILABLE FOR CONVERTING CORPORATES 2021: https://selltocorporates.com/converting-corporates-2021/  **   In this episode, I'll be sharing;   Why being able to nail your corporate niche isn't enough - and how communication around your niche is going to be key for seeing big sales successes.
