Do you have access to talent and opportunities in B2B or B2C world Moving forward we'll see more and more businesses that mix those two approaches. My favorite is selling to consumers, who then help you sell to businesses or the B2C2B approach. ā€¢ā€¢ā€¢ Did you find this useful? Connect with me here: https://twitter.com/VedranRasic šŸ™Œ
