Anthony Butler is the founder of digital marketing agency Can Do Ideas and the creator of the Primal Storytelling Content System. As an expert in brand storytelling, he uses his education from West Point Military Academy and Ranger School as well as his experiences in army combat and multiple startup businesses to help companies create powerful marketing content.
When Anthony first began his career in sales, he was largely self-taught. He also sought the mentorship of an experienced leader who imparted valuable wisdom about being honest. This may seem counterintuitive in an industry many believe is built on manipulation and stretching the truth. High volume sellers figure out what a person needs and strategizes how to get it for them. Some of the best advice he received was about the necessity of building strong relationships within his personal network. A strong, supportive network of like-minded individuals can be the difference between failure and success for a startup, especially within the first few years.
