Lifelong Lerner Webinar: The Future of Sales

Lifelong Lerner webinar series with a laptop

Sales has been the bridge between organizations and consumers, but the dynamics of this relationship changed, leaning heavily on digital solutions due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Will this change be permanent?
