Today, I had the privilege of attending a webinar on “How to Crush the Competition” with Anthony Iannarino as the keynote speaker - a truly remarkable sales guru. His wealth of experience and precise delivery of information always leave me inspired.

Tech is the top of everyone’s list followed by Health and Wellness products. Why? They make sense. These products are useful, make business life faster, easier and are enjoyable to use. They send a positive, caring message and let’s not forget the message of kindness. Kindness to...
