JOHN’S ADVICE:  “Stay abreast of the industry news. Find out what your customers are reading or listening to in order to better understand them. Sales is always going to be, whether it’s virtual or physical, a person-to-person activity. If we can be authentic and customer-focused, with that knowledge behind us so that we earn the value that we bring in order to have that engagement with the client, it’s a winning strategy.”
