There are going to be times when customers will walk in, and you might want to tell them this or that, but at the end of the day, they need to know who you are as much as you need to know who they are. So, as long as there’s that authentic trust between both parties and both can succeed together, I think that’s what really matters. It doesn’t really matter what you’re selling or if you’re a manager or not. I think whoever your client may be, you need to have that two-way street of, 'Hey, we can trust each other, and I’ll be your person to do this.” - Clinton BuiWatch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEQXGYkwU_A Connect with Clinton Bui:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clintonbui/ Email: [email protected] Connect with Wendi Swanson:Website: etymongroup.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/wendiswansonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557265653368 Email: [email protected] notes by Podcastologist: Angelo Paul TagamaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
