This month's edition of SMT Radio offers a couple of unique professional perspectives.

Then, from a consultant's viewpoint, as an outsider, if you can demonstrate the real value of your services to a client, you’re in. Todd Lenhart of Shapiro Negotiations Institute discusses today’s greater demand to show a strong ROI.
