Hospitality is… gonna be the future…intentionality, personal connection,… relationship building, that is the future. You may not be able to get on the golf course with anybody anymore. You may not be able to fly across the country to meet with someone in person, but you can still show that you care… That’s how you’re gonna win those clients and build those relationships that matter.
