Poor Client Development? Try Doing the Opposite!!!

Michael Gionta

....My BIGGEST Mistake in Client Development!

When I opened my firm in 1990... well... I kinda, no I did... SUCK! In my first year in this business I only cashed in $23,000 personally. Even if you adjust for inflation, maybe if you're kind, we come up with $50,000 in today's dollars.
