The pandemic plunged our companies into a mixture of remote + hybrid work that is here to stay. Although most companies have embraced this environment, few have adapted to managing a remote team effectively.

In this tell-all Keynote presentation, Darrell will show practical examples of how he grows his agency ~40% every year while still working 40 hours a week.

WHAT YOUR BOOKSHELF IS MISSING
In today’s day and age, we have an unruly fear of picking up the phone to chat with potential clients, employer’s, you name it – all thanks to the overwhelming fear of sounding unconfident to a stranger. In pick up your freakin phone, Darrell discusses the grit and resilience he had built to turn potential leads into clients by simply developing meaningful relationships with them. A huge part of the reason for his success? Simply doing something that his competition had not been – picking up his phone and generating relationships that built revenue.
