Episode Overview
Don’t waste great sales talent on a terrible gameplan. There’s no time like right now to prepare to win the next sale and the next 10 sales. We’ve got a guest today’s who has made it her life’s purpose to develop the right strategies to out-maneuver any competition.
Trish Bertuzzi is an expert in developing sales teams and sales plans for B2B technology companies and she defines the name of this show, a true woman your mother warned you about.
