Welcome to Friday Coffee Talks! I'm Conner and I love talking to people, talking shop (that's Enterprise IT), learning from great sellers, sharing my stories, and naturally - drinking coffee. Join me for my adventures in daily life, my experiences in sales, and my discussions with people in IT who I think are super swell.
