In this episode of Let’s Talk Sales, it’s all about this month’s theme: change.

Let’s face it, change isn’t always easy. It can be difficult, painful, and even frustrating. That’s why we’re sharing the wise words of C. Joybell C. She is an author and female leader, and has fantastic insights about change.

“The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed.
