Some people thrive, and some struggle to build a career here. Frank and Deirdre get candid about forging a career in BD and Marketing. Listen to Deirdre’s guidance on a marketing career path in Part 2.
Deirdre’s top 5 tips to grow your career:
- Learn who your real client is and treat them exceptionally well.
