The world of B2B selling looks far different than it once did. Top sellers know they must go well beyond discussing features and benefits.

If it doesn’t, it can misdirect your marketing efforts.

Despite announcing an end to layoffs at a meeting held on November 21st, Elon Musk has continued to terminate Twitter employees, even after already forcing out approximately two-thirds of the workforce in just a few weeks. What’s happening. Musk intends to revamp Twitter’s ad targeting system to resemble that of Google’s search ads, which primarily focus on keywords searched for rather than a user’s activity or profile data.
Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency.
