Because I play golf.\u201d It might sound privileged, but this is the best advice Chrisa says she\u2019s ever gotten from one of her superiors earlier in her career because it taught her about fostering meaningful relationships with clients, where he truly began to deeply care about them.\n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review/rating:\xa0https://ratethispodcast.com/thepozcast\xa0\n\n#thePOZcast\xa0 is brought to you by our friends at Interseller \u2013 the prospecting + outreach platform of recruiters and sellers.
