This means keeping himself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to their needs. This "client first" philosophy has always been his approach and it requires him to continually improve his skills and ways of doing business. In addition, he's found that the latest technologies are enabling him to do everything he's always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped him to extend the range of services he provides to his clients.
