… That’s how my strategy session began. Not very comforting I would say. In truth, I trusted this friend and if I wasn’t ready to hear the harsh truth, I wouldn’t have asked for his help. So we began by defining a few categories, those that brought in money and those that didn’t, what absolutely […]
What’s Your Personality Type?
The other day I was asked if I was available to respond to an article that would air on the radio…..If you’ve read my previous blog posts, you know my philosophy is to be prepared and accept the challenge.

5 Tips to Stay “Client Focused” in 2012
1. People buy from people they like. It is important to spend time connecting with your prospect. It should only take 1-3 emails and the first 5 minutes of your appointment. 2.
