  • How to Maximize Client Engagement in First Meetings
    Oct 23 2025

    People buy based on emotion and justify their decisions with logic. Join Mark as he welcomes back Lee Salz for a conversation on transforming your first meetings with clients from routine discovery calls into value-driven consultations.
