Make Our Days Count

Chad Barr

Rod Burkert

I received some great feedback from our last conversation about reciprocating referrals. It seems like most of us are in the same boat … we get more referrals than we could ever possibly hope to return. So we do our best by promising to do good work. It makes for an interesting segue into today’s discussion. Customer experience is all the rage now.
