Drawing upon his years of experience as a Fortune 500 consultant, he offers sales and marketing professionals a powerful framework for understanding the inner workings of a business; knowing what motivates its executives and influences their buying decisions; identifying a company’s organizational structure and decision-making psychology; and using that information to develop a winning strategy for influencing how and why the customer buys.
