“Our prospecting process, which we learned from our father, is a ‘friendship first’ philosophy. We become friends with our clients first, establishing and building a relationship. We never want to be thought of as a ‘transactional business.’ There have been times when we offer sporting or entertainment event tickets to a client and they ask us if we are going with them. In other words, we earn our referrals instead of asking for them.”– Keith Dudum, who runs Dudum Financial and Insurance Services Inc. in Lafayette, Calif., with his brother Jason. Both are multiple-time MDRT Top of the Table qualifiers.
