In addition to receiving Ken's sales wisdom in his columns and blogs on RCP, you can also catch Ken's great tips for getting the most out of the Worldwide Partner Conference in the WPC Marching Orders article we ran last week.

We've known Ken was a top sales influencer for years. We're glad others are recognizing him!
