Sharpening Marketing and Sales with Logic and Resilience
The room hummed with Vuโs focused energy as he unpacked his approach. He began with a question: โWhatโs one sale or marketing win youโve nailed under pressure?โ Responses variedโconvincing a hesitant client, crafting a quick campaignโsetting a practical tone. Vu framed the discussion around a core idea: โYou canโt change a customerโs attitude, but you can change yours toward the problem.โ For him, marketing is about smart storytelling, and sales is about strategic persistenceโboth rooted in Travelogyโs customer-centric, resilient culture.

Next, he launched a group challenge: pitch a Tubudd service to a skeptical client. Teams brainstormedโdigital ads targeting travelers, concise emails with clear value, even a logical follow-up plan for โnoโs.โ Vu circled the room, his feedback sharp: โBe clear, be adaptableโlogic wins.โ He then sketched a โSkills Toolkitโ on a whiteboardโactive listening, data-driven tweaks, and staying calm under fire. โDuring Covid, we went digital overnight,โ he shared. โThatโs sales: adjust fast, deliver value.โ His challenge? โTest one skill this weekโsolve a problem your way.โ
His insights hit home: Focus on the customerโโTheyโre the center, always.โ Stay resilientโโProblems donโt stop you; your attitude does.โ Use logicโโConcise plans beat chaos.โ Vu tied it to Travelogyโs survival: โWe thrived because we adapted without losing sight of who we serve.โ Employees left with ideasโtargeted social posts, follow-up scripts, even a โproblem-solving hourโ to rethink tough sales.
