Pareto Systems and Duncan MacPherson are hosting a series of Mastermind sessions in amazing Palm Springs, California,and Kelowna, BC.

This Mastermind session will examine how to move your client relationships from product and pricing, to process and philosophy, focusing on positioning yourself as a professional with a stewardship mindset rather than a salesperson with a quota.
