QUOTES
There's a difference between relationships and building connections, says Philip: "You can have great relationships but actually it doesn't help you sell. Customers are looking for different types of relationships and when I talk about relationships and sort of break it down into the four mindsets, it's interesting."
Philip on being a great critical reflector: "Arguably, one of the most important traits that anyone needs to learn now is simply the ability to critically reflect and to think. And it's not easy to do because you are influenced often by what you know and your past which gives you a certain bias.”
