In this podcast, Stan shares some of his tips and philosophies to reaching his goals.
- Sell product to get service; service makes the most money
- Bill based on value, not hours.
- Invest in processes and standardization to work smarter, not harder.
- It takes the same amount of energy to go after big clients as it does to go after smaller clients. Go after the big ones.
