Prioritize internal customer service as it directly impacts external customer service and overall client satisfaction.

Develop a robust sales process starting with clear marketing and client screening to ensure you're pursuing ideal, profitable projects.

Ask open-ended, clarifying questions to deeply understand client needs and aspirations, demonstrating expertise and building trust.

Be confident and unapologetic when discussing budgets by knowing your numbers and offering tiered options (good, better, best) to guide clients.

Invest in continuous sales training and professional development to adapt to market changes and maintain a competitive edge.

Focus on building deep relationships with clients; people prefer to do business with those they know, like, and trust.
