• How communication, along with a few other smart techniques, helps Erik keep up retention in a market where one bad week can ruin 2 years of work.
• Mistakes Erik has made in the early stages of hiring for sales that he learned from quickly, and ways to avoid the same mistakes in your own agency.
• What drove Erik to step back from being the main closer in his agency, even though it meant losing half his new client revenue, in order to buy back time elsewhere in the business.

Stay around to the end of the interview to hear why you shouldn’t worry about the recession looming amongst us and how to be optimistic about it instead of frightened.
