Clip from Episode 36: Camille Clemons – Financial Services Sales Career Transitions:
As I look at my approach. I think that people might think it’s crazy that I don’t think you can fake being genuine. Having a genuine interest in people is something that has to be just that. It has to be genuine and you have to want to get to know people and have a real want to help them. And what that means isn’t just you know being genuine in your smile or having a firm handshake but it means that you’re willing to do the little things that take time. So being responsive being helpful. If it’s not in your wheel house finding whose wheel house it’s in and connecting the dots. It’s doing the extra work. It’s just finding time to make them understand that they are important and you’re going to do what it takes. You’re their advocate and you’re going to help them solve their problem.
