Don't Be an Askhole, Make Your Asks Matter with Serial Entrepreneur, Best-selling Author, and Speaker Chris Tuff

Do you want to increase your sales and retention? Then make authentic connections. In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I chat with Chris Tuff, a serial entrepreneur, best-selling author, and speaker. Chris and I talk about how you can make connections your currency and help grow your influence. Chris Tuff is a highly sought-after keynote speaker who has presented for Nike, Home Depot, Verizon, and several other Fortune 100 companies. He was one of the first advertisers to work directly with Mark Zuckerberg in 2006 and filmed one of the first “viral” videos, which landed him on the front page of The Wall Street Journal. Tuff’s natural ability to connect with his nearly 80% millennials and Gen Z workforce led him to publish the national bestselling The Millennial Whisperer in 2019. In the interests of making a more immediate impact on ROI, Chris shifted his message to include genuine connections outside of the office, which resulted in publishing his most recent book, Save Your Asks. The book shares interviews and stories from some of the world’s greatest leaders and entrepreneurs about using authenticity and connection to become better salespeople and networkers.
