15 MAG 2024 · Focus on the game, not the standings.

The Leafs shifted their focus on winning this one game and not the series. 🏒 Imagine the impact if your company could secure 12 consecutive weekly victories. It's time for retail suppliers to realize their victories lie in winning the weekly games, and by winning weekly, their category share and position in the standings will greatly improve. #posdataanalytics
