Building Strategic PartnershipsIn Episode 34 of InterVision’s Status Go podcast, I sit down with Anita Nielsen, a Top Sales Performance Consultant, to discuss partnerships. In the tech-space, “partner” has been a word so over-used that it has been almost rendered meaningless. However, “partner” becomes incredibly valuable when you are talking about the sales professionals and relationships that are crucial to a project or even your overall success.  How do you quiet the noise in order to focus on and build more of those connections? We unpack what it means to be a partner, how to identify potential partners and most importantly, how to drive value together.

While the majority of incidents are still attributed to natural disasters, around a quarter of them apply to security; this forces the concept of resiliency to expand and evolve beyond redundant power systems to include a heavy focus on security.
