We really enjoyed having Seth speak at our North American Sales Conference. Seth is an expert in his field and as Seth is part of PPAI, he really understands who we are salespeople and where we are as an industry. As we are all becoming keenly aware, millennial's and now Gen Z comprise over 58% of the workforce in the United States. So regardless if we are trying to sell to them, or hire them, we all need to better understand what makes these generations tick. Seth will help you understand that Millennials and Gen Z workers are a very talented group of uniquely qualified people. It is our job, not theirs...to better understand who they are, how they communicate, what is important to them, and most importantly what we can do to become more relevant to them. Thanks again Seth! You were great!
