Description

Preparation creates profit. In this episode, Jess and Kurt unpack why proactive communication beats firefighting, how to prepare for architect and developer meetings (including role-plays and scripts), and the exact “referral question” to ask at the start of a project.


We cover ECI/Value Management (“design freedom with cost feedback”), networking that multiplies reach, and a client-centric collaboration/commencement agreement that sets boundaries without being a tyrant.


If you want fewer blowouts, better clients, and more referrals, this is your playbook.
