rAVe HomeAV Edition

Hi everyone! In our latest newsletter, we learn a valuable lesson from Lee Distad. Why we should never just say yes or no when it comes to a client. This is particularly helpful in that we should never just tell a client no but should instead offer more information. This seems like something you should already know, but trust me. The advice is a helpful read anyway. Enjoy!
