Scaling SmallBiz_ Be All In! with David Weiss
 IG ImageDavid Weiss is a New York City-based entrepreneur and co-founder of Selffee, a brand activation company with products including edible photo booths and edible selfies. Before his work at Selffee, David served as a sales executive for Fashion Avenue Knits, collaborating with merchandisers and designers in the development of brand apparel lines while also overseeing and generating sales. David is an alumnus of the University of Delaware Lerner College of Business and Economics, where he graduated with a degree in marketing.

David joins me today to highlight his growth strategies with Selffee and his mindset when it comes to sales and marketing. He shares the importance of effective brand positioning and outreach, and why being intensely invested in your work is essential to your success. David also discusses networking foleys, business cards, and how to make professional connections aside from merely talking about your business.

“When you’re ready to get serious about it, and you’re ready to really stay after it, then it’s a beautiful thing.” – David Weiss
