    July Office Hours

    Topic: Pipelines + Prospect Identification

    Our July topic comes straight from our membership survey responses! From small shops to large ones, pipeline development and management is handled in many different ways - and sometimes by many different people. Where does prospect identification fit into the mix in your shop? Where are the friction points? What strategies have worked for you? Let's chat about it!

    As always, Office Hours are free and open to anyone - bring your questions and your success stories!

    When: Thursday, July 16th
    11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST
