Supply Chain Marketing can be a haze of buzzwords, with every company in a crowded space endlessly describing their ‘solution’ and ‘platform’ as the best fit. Throw in expensive Magic Quadrants and Forrester Waves and it can seem even more daunting to get your message out there. That’s where third-party validation via targeted analyst and public relations can help companies form an identity that separates from competitors. Your customers are your biggest assets, with your executives close behind. They should tell your stories, giving prospects scenarios they can identify with, featuring experts with an understanding of both the problems and the solutions. To get these stories and perspectives working for you, you need the ear of influencers, and you’ll need to persuade them. This webinar will offer some advice on how to find those influencers and rally them to your cause, creating a mutually beneficial relationship that provides you aircover to do what you do best: sell.

One of the top challenges in the end-to-end Supply Chain world today is finding & successfully hiring qualified talent, especially given the industry’s digital transformation.

In this webinar, Jessica Clayton with TalentStream will share key insight and data points from the Supply Chain talent market, based on interactions with hundreds of hiring managers and thousands of candidates. Attendees will learn more about today’s market and candidate needs & motivations, as well as best practices for ensuring you hire the best fit for your organization.
