This kind of experience includes some pretty big changes and might be more complicated than you have time for at first. The thing to focus on that all the successful brands have in common is that they are not usually custom experiences for each person. They follow a consistent and well-designed process. That’s it. It does not have to be complicated; it simply needs to show your clients that you are putting them first. As you and your team work to perfect your well-planned process, the better your experience will become, which will lead to more genuine and authentic relationships.

- Plan ahead.
- Tell your story - briefly.
- Ask the right questions.
