The human element: Daniel Grozdan on how integrators sell, market and lead without losing what makes them worth working with (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The integration industry is full of technically gifted people who find the business side of their work uncomfortable. Selling feels like a word that applies to someone else.

What follows is not a set of
Openness is a Sales Tool, with Andrew 'Gleeo' Gleeson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Andrew Gleeson has spent his career on the supplier side of the Australian integration industry, and he has watched more sales conversations unfold than most integrators have had. He is currently Area Sales Manager for South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria at ADI Global Distribution, and this year he is nominated for Best Sales Representative at the CEDIA Awards. Andrew is unusually clear about what actually wins integrator-client relationships, and what breaks them. The through line of the con
