The Two Bobs Story: The Courage to Specialise
In this episode of The Art of Sales, I sit down with David C. Baker, one of the most respected voices in the agency world. David shares his journey from graduate school teacher to running his own consulting practice, including the story of how he accidentally built an agency with no prior experience.
We talk about the origins of the Two Bobs podcast with Blair Enns, why it deliberately avoids guest interviews and even how the film Office Space inspired its name. Our conversation explores positioning, the value of specialisation, and the difference between coaches and consultants.
We also touch on cultural contrasts between the US and UK when it comes to sales and why confidence matters. David leaves agency leaders with clear, actionable advice: embrace courage, sharpen your marketing, and reframe sales as a vital service to clients.
