And more importantly, if we like the person selling to us, it makes the whole thing really easy.” – James Nathan “Telling people who you are and what you do and all the big ‘I am’ stuff, nobody cares.

We need to get that message right now – of how do I help, and who do I help, under what circumstances and then take that out to the market.” – James Nathan “Stop and say to yourself, how would I introduce myself to a stranger? When they ask me what do you do? You stop and think, how do I tell this person in a way which they actually understand when I could help them, and in what circumstances, in a way that they could tell a friend?”– James Nathan Ways to contact James Nathan Sign Up to receive James Nathan’s Blogs and Updates: Webiste: LinkedIn : Facebook: Twitter: Youtube: /episode/index/show/audaciousleaders/id/12445757
