Think you’re not in sales? Think again.

In this episode of Love, Business & Luggage, we break down what sales and marketing actually mean, how they work together, and why these skills are used every day in business, relationships, and even parenting.

We explain the difference between marketing (getting attention) and sales (driving action), how they work together to grow a business, and why understanding both is essential for entrepreneurs and healthcare providers.
