Things got a little hectic on stage at the National Black Business Conference, National Alliance for Black Business neXGen Summit! During the panel discussion, we had a lively debate about which topics should take precedence in business: politics, investing, taxes, mentorship, mental health, marketing… and guess what topic I spoke about? Sales and Marketing. Because let’s be honest —sales and marketing are the lifeblood of any business. If no one knows about you, how can they support you? It’s not just about having a great product or service; it’s about getting it in front of the right people at the right time. Without a strong marketing and sales strategy, even the best ideas can fall flat. Don't let that be your story—invest in marketing because sales pay for mistakes. What do you think should take priority in business? Cedric Hill Ken L. Harris, Ph.D. Sean J. Rashad Williams 🟢 Thomas Wesley Dortch III
