How do you maintain a book of clients that is constantly changing? How do you keep faces fresh but build on existing client relationships at the same time?

On this episode of Put That Coffee Down, Kevin Hill and Richie Daigle look at how to build a business book that stands the test of time but also is flexible enough to grow as your company does. 

They welcome Benjamin Kowalski, co-host of the Freight 360 podcast, to discuss the advice he gives to new brokers entering the business about client growth. The three talk about how client building is all about consistent effort instead of “sprinting” to the finish.


They also examine warning signs that your business strategy isn’t working to the best of its abilities and what to do to get back on track with your goals.
