How do you connect with potential clients in a way that resonates with them?
I am a deep thinker and I love to get into the weeds with all of the small details of their work. I believe big solutions can come from evaluating the little things. I am also a visionary and being able to see/hear about all of the components of their business helps me elevate solution providers to make their days easier and more efficient in the long run.
