Effective Communication for Sales Leaders: Building Trust and Inspiring Stories with Michael Ashford

On this week's The Matt Phillips Podcast episode, Matt interviews Michael Ashford, Director of Marketing at The Receptionist in Denver, Colorado, as well as a communications and TedX speaker coach. 

In this episode, Matt and Michael will be talking about how your story and ideas can be a powerful tool for making a positive impact on your team and the world. Whether you’re trying to inspire others, grow your sales, solve big problems, or achieve personal growth, sharing your ideas and stories can help you achieve your goals. They will also discuss the different ways to become an effective communicator, resolve conflict, and build trust that can help future leaders and sales people build up their confidence and be able to create strong and positive relationships with others. 

Prior to his career in marketing, Michael was an award-winning journalist after graduating from Kansas State University. He hosts The Follow-Up Question podcast and The FABRIC Podcast, and his work has been featured by Podcast Movement and Men's Health magazines.  Michael’s approach to his work focuses on the power of storytelling, teaching what it means to communicate well, and humanizing brands and leaders.

• How Michael got into the communications game: being a Keynote Speaker & Communication Expert.
