The Present

January 4, 2021 by Brad Heidemann

One of my favorite books to give is called The Precious Present by Spencer Johnson. Think of the title of the book as a riddle. I had dinner last night with an old friend and we were talking about building relationships with customers. I’ve known some of my customers for years, and many of them …
