title: The Rep Revolution | Joe Ratterman
description: "I’m the founder of nextova, a tech-forward manufacturer’s rep agency redefining sales through AI-driven solutions and authentic relationships. With over 15 years of sales experience across industries, I’ve learned that while automation drives efficiency, genuine human connection is the key to lasting success.\n\nThrough \"The Rep Revolution,\" I share insights on the future of sales in a post-AGI world, blending innovation with authenticity. When I’m not building businesses, I’m an adventurer, proud girl dad, and advocate for purposeful growth—both in life and business."
