How Do You Stand Out in the Middle of the Commodity Jungle? We had a great caller from down under - Jared - who claims we’ll give him a ripper (we think that means we’ll give him a good answer!)

And, of course, the guys do a bit of music trivia to start the show. ========================================= Want to have your sales question answered on The Advanced Selling Podcast?
