You can look for best practices, but it's usually hard to implement best practices as is. You need to know what nuggets you can take from best practices and apply to you and your team." "Create a presentation, show what you will do, and get buy-in. Sales like to see what you can do for them NOW. So you need to have a couple of things to show that you will jump right in." ————— You can also join my Facebook community: Build Your Marketing Skills to Get Ahead.
