It Ain’t All About You
I hate managers who brag on themselves to the customer. Makes me want to puke. They are absolutely missing the point. They should be bragging on the owner of the shop and the technicians who work there. That is what the customer wants to hear.
If You Built Your Team with a Fantasy Football Strategy
