Our February 2016 RESET Revenue Growth Workshop in Dallas was an exciting experience. The attendees were mostly technical and executive-level people with go-to-market capabilities – and everyone came prepared to get their hands dirty.

You can’t just present your offering and expect your audience to grasp the impact. This is what I wanted to drive home when I spoke at the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) Southern Regional Conference in Austin on Feb 4, 2016.
