This Friday we're flashing back to late September when our sales, operations and investigation teams came together for a Sales Bootcamp and Training. It was a great experience to get so many team members together in one room for several days. The opportunity allowed our team to learn more about themselves and each other and we're looking forward to seeing the positive impact that has on our business as a whole. Thanks to Melissa Kelley-Hilton and all of Bishops' leadership for investing in your team!
