Human Results, making HR work for all

Today Alasdair and Ben talk to Paul Owen of Sales Talent, Paul is concerned of the long-term detrimental effect that working from home will have on the countries sales force.

Sales is a unique environment where people feed off each others success and pick each other up after the many failures that come with the territory.
