30: Sales as Service: Seymour Ellis on Redefining Outreach with Integrity
Description
Seymour Ellis has spent 20+ years building high-performing sales teams across five countries, grounded in one belief: when done right, sales is an act of service.
In this episode, he breaks down what it means to grow without compromising your values - and why founders should lead their own sales before hiring it out.
As co-founder of B Corp-certified Matchstick, Seymour shares real strategies for purpose-led outreach, including how to identify aligned clients and build trust through thoughtful, human connection.
This isn’t a conversation just about tactics - it’s also about mindset, integrity, and designing business growth around who and how you want to serve. If traditional sales don't sit right with you, this one’s for you.
