Instantly, work, and the world as we knew it, changed. In one massive upheaval, our work, the world, and the economy shifted on its axis. For years, many of us in this industry feared a massive disruption: disruption from Amazon, disruptions from suppliers selling direct, or disruption from buyers choosing to purchase only online. None of us predicted a disruption quite like this, but it is still the disruption to our industry that we feared, a disruption that will forever change everything about the way we work. When a once-in-a-lifetime global event such as what we’re experiencing right now, shakes our foundation, the world cannot simply retract to the way it was before.

-
The four demands the client of the future wants from you now
-
Your outdated selling skills and how to fix them
-
3 habits that were shattered by the new, virtual workforce and how to optimize your culture for growth
