116 - His starter was a barter: Tom interviews Andy Sokol

Andy Sokol is an entrepreneur, speaker, author, and client retention expert. He started his business in 1995 and he still has customers today from his first year in business. In 2003, he started a second business and he sold it to a multinational company in 2015 because they wanted his customer relationships. Then he wrote a book on client retention, and he now speaks all over the country helping entrepreneurs grow their business by retaining their clients and getting more referrals.
