When the topics of Sales and Marketing are broached, traditionalists immediately think of the 4P’s; however, the sales and marketing field has evolved exponentially in the last decade. While the 4P’s have their place the extreme pace of technology has transformed how Sales and Marketing must operate to be successful.
