<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Costas has run sales teams in North America, the UK and SE Asia, originally hailing from Greece while now living in the UK. To say he has a good grasp of global selling and recruiting practices would be an understatement. He was also the one who came up with the Transatlantic Takedown idea. He is passionate about coaching, training and developing his team members; and you will hear him drop pearls of wisdom throughout this episode.
