"Helping them sometimes, uh, sort of clarify their questions. They may not even know the right question to ask."

"They, in the, the best relationships I have, they really think me as part of the team."

"The biggest challenge is generating new business, new clients. I'm largely responsible for generating my own client base."

"Success is managing clients' emotions because it's their money; there's always an emotional aspect."

"The people who thrive are people who are very attentive to communicating with their clients."

"you've always gotta be very conscious of clients' financial situation and be wary of the ones that are not in a position to actually pay your bills."

"gives you an opportunity to, you know, to uh, get some sampling of the work"

"It really pays to be very clear in communication and often to put things in writing because I have found that when things are just conversations, they tend to be heard in different ways."

"Explain, uh, the services you're providing before you do what they're gonna cost. Uh, and then give those services in a really clear way with clear communication, uh, that will lead to success and good client relationships."
