One place I often turn for mental “fresh air&# is the Business-to-Consumer space where there is certainly no lack of bright, creative minds dreaming up the next big thing. Inspiration often comes from considering things outside our normal realm.

Messaging and lead management are definitely important details to hammer out in the conversations as you work toward building a relationship with sales based on mutual respect and trust and driving towards a common goal of more sales.
