Last week, while working from my new office, aka my dining/living room, I saw a man walking down the other side of the street whom I didn’t recognize.

Let’s be honest, just because it looks like someone is working hard, that doesn’t mean they are actually being effective. Along the same lines, your colleagues can be productive and effective at driving sales even when you all aren’t physically working together in the same office space. The workforce is rapidly changing, and traditional 40-hour work weeks with mandated hours worked from specific job sites isn’t the only way to get work done.

Meanwhile, the majority of sales and marketing leaders see no need to differentiate their messaging approach between customer acquisition and customer expansion.
