About this session

A powerful personal sales brand isn’t built overnight. It takes time, dedication, and determination to set yourself apart from others in your field — while remaining true to yourself and your identity.

Salesforce’s Jasmine Garrett, Named Account Executive, Tina Lai, Territory Account Executive, and Salma Ferdowsi, Senior Manager, Sales, believe that your personal brand is really the reflection of your living resume.

  • What a personal brand in sales can look like
  • How to structure and communicate your personal brand
  • How your personal brand can help you grow your sales career
  • Ways to align your brand with your core values + self-advocate

With so much pressure to hit your numbers, come relax for an hour and keep creating those valuable connections.
