This year has been a big one for us at SalesScreen. We grew significantly in many ways and faced some inevitable challenges of transitioning from a start-up to a scale-up. At our recent, annual Christmas gathering, we reflected together on the year–what did we do well? What can we do better next year? What are our company, team and individual goals for 2020? As we move forward as a company, we will continue to reflect on these questions and strive to make every year better than the last. So, here’s to an awesome 2020!
