It’s time to UnSell.

We’re in the age of disruption. Today’s business climate is changing at an unprecedented rate.  Every week, there seems to be a new strategy, platform, or technology that is a “must use” or a “game-changer”.  In this endless quest for the next bright, shiny thing, we lose sight of the fundamentals – trust, connection, consistency, and service. In this eye-opening keynote, Scott Stratten cuts through the noise, exposing what’s real and what’s just a distraction.
