- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our typical process is pretty simple! - We start with an initial meeting to most importantly get to know each other. This allows us to chat and identify if we would be effective working together. You have the floor to ask me any questions, as well as speak what's on your mind & what you'd like to accomplish! I also use this time to understand a glimpse into your situation, as well as provide you with a background on myself. The initial meeting should not be centered around products and solutions. - The next step (once we like each other) is figuring out the best way to work together. This is important to understand as it defines what type of relationship you expect to have moving forward. -The remaining steps after this are all dependent on the first two. Some individuals know what they want and take action quicker. For others it takes more time to peel back the layers and get to recommendations at a later date.
