What is the importance of a sales network in any social business project?

Having worked in sales and customer service for more than 18 years, I have understood that private companies have more resources and leadership than public administrations and it is therefore essential to extend the improvement and reinforce corporate social responsibility, and for this it is essential create a network of partners and private sponsors or companies that offer help and resources to social organizations to build a new more just reality for all.

I deeply believe that each person must be the engine of their own improvement and personal and professional evolution, for this reason I am convinced of the model proposed by our Homeless entrepreneur organization, through which each individual can change and improve their lives with vital help from other people and organizations to develop a sustainable future in time for their life, becoming in turn active and caring for others in the community.
