Ep 158 - It’s the Long Game, Dummy :: David Crabtree

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast...David Crabtree was nervous about being a guest on his first podcast. I think that’s what makes him an appealing guest. David has had a few seasons in his life as a Psychology and History High School Teacher, then he found himself as an Insurance Account Representative. He ultimately became a stellar relationship-focused driver of new business for his company before stepping out on his own with Crabtree Benefits.
