Alex thinks if you're going to strike out you may as well strike out swinging
Welcome back to I'm Not Selling You Anything where we share stories of people in B2B tech that are doing things a little differently.
Today, I’m joined by Alex Bruschi, an Account Executive at Salesforce, fellow Long Islander, and someone who makes navigating Q4 sales chaos look easy. Alex is all about helping businesses connect with their customers, and he’s taken that same passion into teaching others how to launch podcasts that actually stick.
It’s a conversation that spans from Spain, where he discovered what it means to be a citizen of the world, to Long Island, where sharing drinks under a massive tent with friends is about as cultural as it gets. Stick around and get to know Alex Bruschi a little differently. Vamos!
