When I asked this to Guy Kawasaki, here’s what he said: For starters, evangelism comes from a Greek word, which means bringing the good news. So, what an evangelist does is bring the good news, and hopefully, you are evangelizing something that is good news.

So the difference between sales and evangelism is that sales is usually concerned primarily with one’s success, like quota, commission, income, etc. Evangelism is concerned with the other person’s success and benefit. So when I tell you to use or ask you to use Canva, it is because I genuinely believe it’ll make you a better communicator by creating great graphics.
