Success story
My greatest skill is the ability to find ways for leaders to engage with customers, business partners, employees, or others in ways that move toward success. In my current business, that skill has allowed me to identify ways to persuade skeptical property management companies to bring a new service offering to their tenants. By working to understand what would make my service compelling to them and addressing potential pain points, I have built a robust customer base that is driving growth.
