In this episode, Rob and Zack delve into:

- Prioritizing the most significant areas of concern for clients.
- Connecting with clients in ways that are most meaningful and effective for them.
Key Takeaways:
- Building client relationships isn’t always immediately profitable due to the initial effort required for comprehensive planning. Break the process into manageable pieces and prioritize the client’s most pressing needs first.
