Natalie Murphy on Partnering for Sustainable Growth | Episode 21 | The Change Energizer Podcast

What is the single biggest factor that separates a transactional IT vendor from a true, long-term business partner? The answer is trust. In this week's Change Energizer Hot Seat Podcast episode, host Scott Carley (The Trust Energizer) puts Natalie Murphy, Marketing Manager for Hill Country Tech Guys, in the hot seat to explore how a company rebuilds, maintains, and scales trust—both internally and externally.
