Is it a Strategy or a Tactic?

If I had a dollar for everytime that topic came up – Strategy or Tactic -I’d be a rich man.

In this episode of the 2X Podcast, Bill emphasizes the power of a good sales tactic, regardless of your strategy. He also suggests that people look down at tactics, preferring to sound high-minded by babbling on about strategy.

In this episode of The 2X Podcast, Bill addresses a BIG IDEA around your customer – and how to develop it so it’s usable.

Bill gives you 6 prerequisites you can start on today, before you begin your journey to 2X!
