## Resource

Transitioning a sales department from underperforming to high-growth requires more than just new metrics. It demands a foundation of authentic leadership and technical trust. Todd Gradson joins TechTalks to discuss building world-class commercial operations, and the strategic importance of understanding individual motivation within a sales team. Todd emphasizes a consultative approach that prioritizes active listening to solve complex facility management challenges rather than relying on rigid scripts. For operations leaders, these insights highlight how balancing software simplicity with deep customization, such as asset tagging and sensor integration, can effectively scale a maintenance department from a local site to a multinational corporation.
