Chris kicks it off with the stat that changed his business: respond to leads within two hours, and "you have a 90% chance of winning it" — which is why he integrated Goodshuffle Pro with his website to get quotes out faster than the competition.

She's built her client experience around making people feel like family — "down to the very last detail." Ready to respond faster and win more deals?
