Quotables:
- 05:11 – “Some of my best professional relationships and clients and accounts have been that situation where it started off there wasn’t a lot to discuss or any opportunities for discovery but being pleasantly persistent and making sure you were accessible when the time was right was very valuable to me.”
- 24:20 – “Setting that tone to let them know the expectations not from just when we talk about but to feel, understand and acclimate to the culture I think is important for a small business.”
