SUCCESS STORIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS

clients now that I've created or I've developed in Toronto. And then, I have clients in New York, and I have clients all over because you're not limited. Everything right now is virtual. We have amazing technology for Genumark. So Branding Badass when I decided mentally to change my attitude, and to change my brand, and to give it, then I'm like, "Okay, so I need to start a Twitter account, I need to start a new Instagram account." You know, I was like, starting fresh, starting over. And so I went on Twitter and I'm like, okay, what should I call myself? And I'm looking for like a brand, and I think what's great about Twitter is that you can't have any duplicates, right? It's the username is taken and you can't use it. So I was playing around with branding and then I was like, first I start with badass because I feel like I'm a badass. Cause when I read about, you know -- people ask me, like, "What's a badass, and what makes you a badass?" And I think as someone authentic, as someone who never gives up, you know, you speak your mind. I've been known for being pretty blunt and speaking my mind and that has gotten me into trouble, but -- so I wanted that word in there and then I want a branding. So I started with badass branding, and then when I typed in @ branding_badass onTwitter, there was none. And I was like, that's it. And then I changed my handle on Instagram, and now LinkedIn, and I just started going full steam ahead. And I'm like a dog with a ball -- a dog with a bone, you know, like I don't give up. And here I am and I'm working hard to get back to where I was... it's not easy, but I am so excited and, I've got my mojo back -- and I lost that for a few years. Marshall Atkinson It's amazing how the mental and your core strength has to come from the attitude that you have in things. And I really love that story about, getting reinvigorated in finding your mojo, and finding your center, and then expanding from that and developing that with everything that you're doing. And that's just incredible. Joelly Goodson Well, thank you. I mean, sometimes people say to me, "You know, you're so strong. I don't know how you do it." And I just kind of go, "Well, what's my alternative?" You know, like I'm not a half-ass person. I do everything I do, I give it my all. When I do something that I'm passionate about and I love, it comes naturally to me, you know, I've got this fire inside of me and I lost it, and that was tough, but it's back.

<<COMMERCIAL>> Marshall Atkinson A minute ago, you talked about, you really didn't do much prospecting.

So what do you think is the biggest challenge that people have with sales currently? Is it lead gen? Is it just networking? Cause we're all like closed in now. Is it closing the presentations and the deals? And what do you say to people struggling right now?
