BYP 156: From Unemployed to $200,000+ In Less Than One Year with Wes Gay

After being unemployed for 6 months, Wes Gay quickly scaled his marketing consulting practice to six figures in the first year, and today he’s here to share what he did, why it worked, and how you can leverage it in your own work. Wes believes something deep in his bones: clarity always wins. Whether it’s in marketing, sales, leadership, or personal relationships, being clear is the best way to connect, grow, and move forward. He’s helped dozens of companies, ranging from startups to billion dollar brands, discover a new level of clarity through the StoryBrand framework. He lives with his wife, two young boys, and their overprotective dog in the suburbs of Atlanta, GA. When he’s not hanging with his family or helping businesses increase revenue, he’s probably looking for a good espresso and donut.

Where can we find those people we want as clients? What’s something we do once we determine our ideal client? How do we engage without being sleazy or salesy?
