Road Warriors podcast with guest Aaron Novak
A new episode of Road Warriors is now available featuring special guest Aaron Novak. Aaron was formerly with PSS/McKesson and now an entrepreneur in Jacksonville, Florida. One of Aaron’s companies is a Sandler Systems franchise.
“Given the ‘new normal,’ I thought this podcast would be timely. This is a little different than a traditional Road Warriors episode, in that I asked Aaron several questions around sales and sales leadership as we start to sell in this new virtual environment and as we guide customers through allocation,” says Scott Adams, publisher of Repertoire.
