And all of this is going to help solidify your company culture.” [00:09:38] [00:09:44] “Always when you have these conflicts, you want to be moving towards solutions, not talking about the problem or playing the blame game or nitpicking who did what.” [00:09:54] [00:10:35] “You also need to go through situations to provide a beautiful experience for people. That means always moving to solutions. It means backing up your staff. It means setting expectations. It means having streamlined communication. It means letting the buyer know what to expect, and what your process is. It means asking the right questions.” [00:10:57] [00:11:31] "Onboarding is where a lot of people lose a client.
