Quotes:
4:19 “In every business, there’s a supply chain, and in healthcare, there’s a supply chain.”
11:44 “The most effective employee education that we have found is in one-on-one meetings.”
12:58 “Throughout the year, what we found to be kind of most beneficial and most successful is just consistent education.”
17:55 “The first thing that surprised me was how difficult it is at times to really get the trust of a business owner or prospective client, whoever it is that I’m talking to.”
19:04 “I’ve also learned that at times, being a younger risk advisor has presented its challenges, especially when you are talking to those business owners that have been in business a long time. But again, I believe in our message, our philosophy, and the more that I can get out there and tell it to prospective clients, and just really share our message that’s really what I’m trying to do. And I know that over time, as I continue to build these relationships, eventually, we’ll get an opportunity”.
