Summary
This week's Klatsch focused on collaboration and billing within the Growth-Drive community — George Sandmann praised the arm's-length model where members consolidate billing while still helping clients on single projects, Mike Garrison echoed a preference for simpler billing, and George encouraged public shout-outs to collaborators on LinkedIn — before shifting into conference logistics, with attendee lineups shared for the BEI conference, the 40Strategy workshop in AZ, and a call for who's headed to the EPI Summit in May, wrapping with a quick takeaways round led by Tip Quilter on the importance of the first conversation.
