To accomplish this, you must have exceptional listening and compatibility skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlY8jVWdvio Steve Ramona is the host of the "Doing Business with a Servant's Heart" podcast, where he shares his insights on how to build a successful business by prioritizing service and empathy.
