Tony Hughes has recently written one of the most important books in professional sales in 2021 along with co-author Justin Michael. Tech-Powered Sales describes how all salespeople need to elevate their TQ (technology quotient) in order to drive scale and volume of non-value-added manual tasks in professional selling. This amazing book is being well-reviewed everywhere it’s seen. We talk with Tony about how we, as salespeople, future-proof our careers.
