E.109 Zac Garside & Brigham Dickenson - Power Selling Pros

Director of Sales & Marketing at Power Selling Pros (where Contractors turn their call center into a profit center). Creator of "The Storytelling Habit" at ZacGarside.com. I help businesses craft a sales message that moves people. One of my clients said, "Zac was able, in just a simple conversation, to craft the message that was on my heart but that I could never put down on paper." I'm an obsessive student and practitioner of: ☑️ Speaking on Stage and in Webinars (crafting a message that makes people say "WOW... that's exactly what I needed to hear...") ☑️ Copywriting (while landing pages and emails are my specialty, I love the chance to pen some persuasive prose in any medium - one of my favorite clients fell in love with me after I wrote a landing that page that converts 40%+ for him) ☑️ One-On-One Coaching (I've coached several hundred of our clients at Power Selling Pros and, more recently, multiple High-Ticket Coaches through ZacGarside.com) ☑️ Email Marketing (I took Power Selling Pros from having non-existent email marketing to consistently emailing messages that people reply to and buy from - over $150,000 in revenue was added to our business from email in 2021, a 5,336.17% ROI) ☑️ Sales (I've brought on 179 new accounts for Power Selling Pros while simultaneously serving as Head of Marketing to generate new leads) ☑️ Good Conversation (he who can ask a well-crafted question can change the world - I love to bring out the best in others through good conversation) ☑️ Content (I've written so many emails and blog posts for Power Selling Pros and my personal freelance efforts I don't even know what the count is... but I've shared some of my learnings here at ZacGarside.com) ☑️ Podcasting (I've helped produce over 100 podcast episodes for "LIP Service for Contractors- and my personal podcast "The Storytelling Habit") ☑️ The Storytelling Habit (saying the same thing to your audience over and over gets old - I enjoy helping people and brands build a habit of telling engaging stories so they can attract more of the people they seek to serve... EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.) Currently looking for Business Owners who need help crafting a convincing sales message or have an email list they want to make more money from. DM me if that's you.
