In this week's episode of the Scale Your Sales podcast, Kendrick Trotter talked about his background and lack of access to opportunities because of his race. Kendrick was lucky enough to get spotted and encouraged to enter tech sales. His experience propelled him to set up his organization to help other people who come from less privileged backgrounds to access opportunities in sales organizations.
Us in Technology works with top tech companies committed to attracting, retaining, and developing underrepresented talent.
Please welcome to Scale Your Sales Podcast, Kendrick Trotter.
