In an emerging market, top performers and tenured sales reps are hard to come by. They often have the upper hand being sought after by many companies and of course, recruiters. In our day-to-day with these NY personalities, we’ve noticed some trends. Who doesn’t dread going to Times Square for a meeting or riding the subway in 100° heat and humidity?
