Notable Quotes:
[00:04:27] “You need to let the clients know what the next step is. By doing this, by managing people's expectations, what you do is they gain trust in you.” [00:04:34]
[00:09:21] “Sometimes it's better to hand it off to the staff and through that, they get to see that you trust them, that you value their opinion, that you realize that they're a valuable member of your team. And all of this is going to help solidify your company culture.” [00:09:38]
[00:09:44] “Always when you have these conflicts, you want to be moving towards solutions, not talking about the problem or playing the blame game or nitpicking who did what.” [00:09:54]
[00:10:35] “You also need to go through situations to provide a beautiful experience for people. That means always moving to solutions. It means backing up your staff. It means setting expectations. It means having streamlined communication. It means letting the buyer know what to expect, and what your process is. It means asking the right questions.” [00:10:57]
[00:11:31] "Onboarding is where a lot of people lose a client. Onboarding either takes too long. There are too many steps. There are too many stops in the sales process. You need to be looking at this from a client-centered focus, not from yours, not from your ego.”[00:11:48]
