Topics include:
- How to work with your champion and align your product to the company's priorities,
- Why not doing your research can (and will) kill your deal
- Pet peeves sellers should stop right away to avoid getting blocked :)
Big thank you to Rakib for coming on the podcast and sharing his insights with us!
