<h2 style="text-align: center;">The &#8220;New Normal&#8221; Part 2</h2>
<p>Have you heard any sales people say &#8220;I can&#8217;t wait for things to get back to normal&#8221;?  We&#8217;ve heard that several times in the past 2 years and it never fails to discourage us.  Hopefully you&#8217;re not waiting for things to &#8220;go back to normal&#8221; because guess what?  Normal is here.  Unfortunately you may not recognize it.  It’s &#8220;The New Normal&#8221; and like it or not, it may be here for a long time so you better learn to deal with it.</p>
<p>In part 2 of the series Mike and Joe interview Jeff Koser and Chad Koser, award winning authors of Selling to Zebras. Jeff and Chad discuss how we need to adjust our selling style for the &#8220;New Normal.&#8221;</p>
