Description

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Mark Silverman discuss:

• Building client relationships from the start of your career.
• Bringing your full, authentic self to your client relationships. 
• Being forward with those you’ve served when asking for referrals. 
• The art of bringing in new work from current clients. 

Key Takeaways:

• Even when you’re crazy busy, it is key to reach out to a client or post on LinkedIn or send a text to connect with those in your network. 
• Everybody wins in referrals when there is a transferral of trust. 
• Be honest about where you can add value and where, perhaps, you aren’t the best fit for your clients.
• Find what works for you and stay consistent with it. You are running a business and want to maintain that forward momentum. 

"The worst thing you can do, and what will tank your relationship and career quickly, is to sell something that you have no business doing." —  Mark Silverman
