This week on the Social Business Engine podcast, I welcome Jill Konrath, author of three best selling books on sales topics. On this episode we discuss Agile Selling. Jill reveals how the modern sales paradigm has been influenced by a shift in social and people’s crazy business schedules.
Jill shares the journey that inspired her to write each of her three books.
