By Kris Mortensen

VIDEO BUSINESS CARDS
At an intake meeting with a new client, we were trying to identify solutions for his new Executive coaching business. We discovered that time and time again, all of his new business clients were referrals. Nearly 100%. Why? He explained that trust seems to be an issue and also that his service offering is not [...]
