Josh Iverson and Erika Flowers sit down with Koree Khongphand-Buckman to explore the lessons she learned selling books door-to-door, why that experience shaped her approach to business development, and what it takes to drive growth in professional services. Koree shares her perspective on client teams, relationship-building, collaboration, and the importance of asking clients the hard questions rather than assuming you know the answers. She also discusses why firms grow faster when they “hunt in packs,” how culture influences long-term success, and practical ways leaders can create more cross-selling and collaboration across their organizations.
