LuAnn Nigara and Delyse Berry’s Ah-Ha Moments

 “The execution process is as important as the end result.” – Delyse Berry 

“I think the industry needs to look at the way in which it is executed. If a client isn’t happy about something, we need to look at how we contribute and deliver the news to them.” – Delyse Berry

“Laying out as much up front as you can during your initial conversation with a client is very important.” – Delyse Berry

“A beautiful outcome can’t come from a crappy process.” – LuAnn Nigara
