For many B2B sales and marketing executives, maintaining enthusiasm for their role amid a worldwide pandemic is challenging to say the least.
Months of working remotely or with reduced time in the office have led us to a new “normal” flooded with emails, virtual meetings and webinars. It’s certainly understandable that some of us may be lacking inspiration.
As we head into the final quarter of this unprecedented business year, now is the perfect time to reset and find some new sources of inspiration. If you’re wondering exactly how to do this – either for you or your team – we can help! Our staff has selected a set of the most useful and inspiring videos, specifically curated for the B2B sales and marketing professional. Offering a mix of information, observations, strategies and practical advice, these must-watch videos will help motivate you, even in challenging times. Each clip covers a specific sales and marketing responsibility, getting to the core of what’s really needed for you to thrive right now – and into 2021.
You’ll notice that many of these speakers are well-known thought leaders who offer valuable insights into why we do what we do. I hope you will appreciate their perspectives and get as much inspiration from listening to their wisdom as we did.
