She shares how marketing can create opportunities for salespeople to reach the right executives and build meaningful one-to-one relationships. Brooke also explains how established C-suite relationships can create internal advocates and open access deeper within prospective accounts. “Creating situations where we can drive awareness and credibility for our brand while also building relationships is where I’m going to get the most value. When we can get our people in front of potential clients and have that one-on-one interaction, that’s when we see the best value.” - Brooke Norton Lais This conversation explores how executive relationships can create access, strengthen credibility, and help companies remain relevant throughout extended buying cycles. Brooke shares how Venbrook combines brand awareness with one-to-one interactions through events, educational programs, sports partnerships, and customer advocacy. She also explains why marketing investments should create opportunities for salespeople to engage directly with decision-makers.
