New Kids on the Flock
Helping you spread your wings and fly
Many of us look back on our first few years in the Channel and think: if only I'd done this differently! Or known about that key opportunity! It can feel like you’re trying to find your way all on your own.
Not anymore...
Welcome to New Kids on the Flock. Our goal with this program is to create a community where channel newbies can learn how to avoid some common pitfalls and find success in the early years of their careers.
