Companies do not have the luxury of not having somebody who has their trust.When you prove to your customers that they can trust your product, their loyalty can be bought way faster than you would think. Loyalty from a customer is mostly through transactional environments.There are two different types of evangelism, Internal and External Evangelism. Both external and internal evangelism always end up coming together and are increasingly internal as the company grew.For people who are wanting to become an evangelist, try not to underestimate the over-education that you will have to do internal enablement around it.When starting off as a Chief Evangelist, you want to make sure you document your journey and everything that happens in it because you never know when you're going back to it and how that's gonna help you in the future.As a beginner Chief Evangelist, you have to figure out what works for you and what doesn't work. Think about what level of evangelism are you going to be.Quote of the Show:“I don't think you have a choice but to start building trust, and trust by definition can be built with humans, not with robots.” (05:07)Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sangramvajre/Website: https://gtmpartners.com/Book: MOVE: The 4-question Go-to-Market Framework and ABM is B2B.: Why B2B Marketing and Sales is Broken and How to Fix it and Account-Based Marketing For DummiesPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/move-the-go-to-market-podcast/id1155097337
