Iannarino

Too many sales reps are dull in their sales conversation. You can blame this on onboarding processes that gaslight reps into believing that their company and solution are the most important things.

Martech

With about a month to go until Black Friday, marketers are wondering how this year will stack up against previous holiday seasons. Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, which ran October 8 and 9 , saw lower U.S. sales than last year. This runs counter to an Adobe projection of a record-breaking ecommerce holiday season.
