More about Lori Richardson…
The first 15 years of Lori’s business career was truly remarkable. She’s been a quota-carrying salesperson and sales leader in technology and financial services closing $100M worth of deals. That gave her many experiences to pull from — successes as well as failures.
Over the last 20 years her company has built sales teams and helped mid-market technology and distribution companies grow front-line revenues weaving in what the collective team has learned over years of successes and failures.
As a lifelong learner, she loves to share the latest in what works now.
