KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Stand out from your competitors. Ask yourself what you can provide a client that no one else can.
- Don’t let your standards slip when training new staff. Make sure you have processes in place so that when new people join the team, they understand that to do early on.
- Work hard but always work smart.
BEST MOMENTS
