“You've got to take leadership because if you don't take leadership of that conversation, the client will just think that you're happy to just give the time away for free.” - Ed Chan
“..you've got to work it so that everybody's in their flow. And the deep and narrow structure is the best way to manage the traffic flow. Because you've got people who are really good at talking to people, managing client's expectations. They're people-people. They're good at communicating with people like them. So they're in their flow. If they're a senior client manager, and then you've got people who are really good production people and, and keep them in their float. And if you, if you have this narrow deep structure, you find that people are a lot more productive. They are a lot happier.” - Ed Chan
