Marcus watches the waveform crawl across his screen while a stranger talks herself deeper into the weeds. The Sandler sales methodology gives him a simple job: keep returning to the business problem until the real one appears. “So does it integrate with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Gong, or is it more of a lightweight layer on … Read more
Marcus watched the cursor blink on a name he had already written off. The AI sales assistant limitations were about to matter more than its recommendation. Chloe Hart. VP of Operations.
