It is tough to be proficient in a changing environment.

·         Your success depends on: Knowing more. Buyers expect you to understand their business, direction, challenges, process, and relationship history

·         Providing value: Every single interaction is evaluated to determine of it is worth the time or effort. Buyers want ideas, insights, leadership, and guidance to assess whether changing makes sense and how to do it best.

Knowing what to learn and how to learn is essential for success
