  • Life is a series of sales

    Life is a series of sales — and in one way or another, we’re all salespeople. Every day we influence, interact, and «sell» ideas, solutions, or support that benefit others—whether personally or professionally. But here’s the thing: traditional sellers no longer hold the trump cards… With a quick Google search, prospective customers can match or…
