Creator's Key Takeaways

I would absolutely travel again and it's funny because I even tell all of our advisers at frosh you know give people the facts because so much of the fear is based on not having the facts

the more confident the relationship the better take up the advisor has in getting the client to agree to the credit as opposed to a refund which is good for all of us

now is the time to choose who you want to do business with

the squeaky wheel gets the money the fact is you're not gonna get it every time but if you do nothing you're not gonna get anything

βœ“Maintain consistent communication with supplier partners.
