What’s in this episode:
If you’re trying to sell to everyone… you’re losing to someone more specific.
In this episode, Natalie Hales breaks down exactly how to stop building your carrier’s brand—and start building your own authority. If your carrier is pushing you into financial services, investments, or “doing more”… but you don’t know who you’re actually for—this is the playbook.
