Quotations:
“The thing that differentiates your firm from the one down the road is your responsiveness. And if you can just put yourself in the client's shoes, if you are dealing with two businesses and one responded to you quickly, and the other one just didn't respond to you, the body language they give you is that they don't care.” - Ed Chan
“Just because you're busy doesn't mean that you're productive.” - Ed Chan
“...our business is about people connecting and communicating with people. And if you can't communicate, then you're not going to be suited for a senior client manager. So the training for a senior client manager is different from that of a senior production manager.” - Ed Chan
