Running a revenue organization in a hybrid/remote work world
Post-covid, organizations have entered a new phase trying to learn or re-learn how to work in a remote-first or hybrid workplace. This topic comes up in every company meeting or planning session and has been something companies have been discussing for some time now.
On the fourth episode of our podcast, The Lab by DemandScience, our own CRO, Chris Rack, discussed the topic with Andrew Bolis, Chief Marketing Officer at Streetbees and Bradley Paster, Chief Revenue Officer at GuardSquare, to get their perspectives.
