A couple of people have suggested that I start a low‑key personal brand, a basic Instagram/TikTok or Facebook page where I post deliveries, quick explainers, and sales tips to move forward in my sales career. Apparently, the point is that it compounds over time and brings in “I saw you online” buyers. Has this been true for any of you? I don't want to start something that I already don't have the time for without hearing some success stories.

Never done this, never will. Social media is a distraction I don't need in my life. With the exception of Fishbowl, obviously.

Those are two pretty different target markets. A person interested in sales tactics is probably not interested in what I'm selling.

I have never heard of this, either.
