Adam Hewitt

FEATURE

Sales is a foundational to the success of your small business.  No sales means no revenue, which means no business.  But many small businesses struggle to get sales right.  And as they scale, they make costly mistakes, like hiring just one heavy hitter or promoting a hire performer into the sales manager role just because he/she has good numbers.  Today, we talk to expert about how a fractional sales approach can help.
