Salespeople fulfill the critical role as the quarterback of their company

During sales training workshops, I like to bring new and unique views of our role as salespeople.  One view that really brings a unique perspective is the concept of the quarterback on a football team.

Listen in as we discuss the rest of the quarterback analogy and the five quick steps to becoming a better quarterback (salesperson) for your team!
