À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Data integration in healthcare is redefining AI in sales and how sales enablement teams create real customer value.
In this episode of B2B Sales Trends, we explore how modern sales leaders cut through dashboard noise, align sales and operations, and use AI to strengthen focus and trust - not replace human judgment.
Harry Kendlbacher sits down with Robert Brandt, Vice President of Sales Operations at Medline Industries, to unpack how healthcare buying behavior is evolving - and what it takes to keep sellers focused on value instead of fire drills. This is a grounded, real-world conversation about customer perception, data integration, and the future of AI in B2B sales.
