That's why many owners become frustrated trying to work with their banker, CPA, attorney, or insurance agent. While you're shaking hands, they may be already thinking about four possible solutions to the problems you haven't mentioned yet. But, as a business owner, you must generally share at least some of the blame.
Most entrepreneurs are good at what they do but sometimes have difficulty sharing their vision.
They don't make it easy for their team of professionals to know them, and to understand their needs. That can take a little time and work on both your parts. All too often, agents and clients remain virtual strangers. So get together and ask a lot of probing questions about such things as experience, how agents are paid and, most of all, what they may already know about your business. Remember, you're hiring their services.
