Summary

What if the biggest constraint in your consulting firm isn't demand, but the type of clients you're saying ‘yes’ to? In this episode, you're going to hear from Hassan Mahmood, founder of Voiant Group, a global consultancy helping Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies rethink how they design, scale and optimize their revenue operations.
