After Hello: How to Build a Book of Business, One Conversation at a Time
About
After Hello is about you and the amazing clients waiting to work with you. This book shows you how to fill your practice with clients that pick you as their trusted advisor because of your expertise and unique approach and then spread your name like confetti, making sure everyone knows you are the one to call. The perfect blend of mindset, strategy, and simple solutions, this step-by-step guide allows you to build the practice of your dreams now, rather than waiting until later when you come up for air. As it turns out, building an intentional book of business happens one curious, confident conversation at a time, starting with that first hello. The fulfilling practice you envision for yourself takes off from there.
