Bridging Generations in Sales and Outreach

E23 with Chris Atwell - Stop Creeping, Start Connecting

Butch Nicholson Season 1 Episode 23

Sales leaders know the old ways cold calls, networking lunches, and door-knocking. But in today’s digital-first world, staying visible and authentic online is just as critical as showing up in person. 

In this episode of Bridging Generations in Sales and Outreach, Butch Nicholson sits down with Chris Atwell, a corporate-sales-leader-turned-entrepreneur who now generates over 60% of his business from LinkedIn.

Chris shares how he went from avoiding social media altogether to building a thriving practice by posting consistently, showing vulnerability, and focusing on connection over promotion. He explains why influence on LinkedIn isn’t about being an “influencer” it’s about being influential.

Listeners will learn:

  • A simple 3-step framework for creating content that connects.
  • Why vulnerability and personal stories build trust faster than company updates.
  • How consistency not perfection wins on LinkedIn.
  • The real difference between marketing content and sales content.

If you’ve been lurking on LinkedIn, hesitant to put yourself out there, this conversation is your push to stop creeping and start connecting.

Bridging Generations in Sales and Outreach is hosted by Robert (BUTCH) NICHOLSON and produced by Fist Bump
