Because we see industrial and oil and gas companies hire talented business development professionals and put them into situations where they were never set up to win. They are told: “Go find business.” But who exactly are they supposed to target? Which accounts matter most? What problems are those customers trying to solve? How is the company positioned? What makes the company different? Which relationships already exist? Who… \nSource and tickets: https://iondistrict.com/event/what-ceos-ccos-and-cxos-should-know-before-hiring-another-bd-team/
