Learn about peer-to-peer (P2P) selling as a strategic approach to B2B sales.
Ian Levine, a board member and chief sales officer of RO Innovation, will discuss:
- What the P2P selling evolution is all about, and why it matters
- Five new ways to position your customer reference program with key influencers, including your boss
- The top priorities your peers are focusing on for their programs
