Where are the growth opportunities in the Executive Suite?

Talented executives are needed more than ever during difficult economic times. It is the business development and sales executives who bear the burden of generating the revenue. The "recession" represents an opportunity for those who can demonstrate their ability to understand the needs of the company and its customers - those who CAN create a clear and compelling executive brand.
