Ask Denise: Keeping Client Files Safe?

Denise Lones

Denise, last week in our coaching group you were mentioning that we should keep physical copies of our client files safe. I just keep them in a file cabinet in my home office. Is that good enough?

Ask Denise: Word for 2016?

Denise Lones

Q:  Denise, I understand you encourage people to have a “word” or an overarching theme for 2016. Can you tell me more about that?

Ask Denise: Testimonial Videos?

Denise Lones

Q:  Denise, I want to start having my closed clients do testimonial videos when their home closes. Is there a format I should follow? A:  That is a fantastic goal and one that will serve you well.
