The Business of Listening
In a world where customers have endless choices, what actually makes a business stand out?
In this episode of The Back Office, I sit down with Deborah Jenkins, co-owner of Doc J’s Heat & Air Tulsa, to talk about the power of relationships, listening well, and continually learning in business.
Before stepping into entrepreneurship, Deborah spent more than thirty years in medicine—a background that shaped the way she serves customers, communicates, and builds trust. What emerged from that experience is a refreshing perspective on customer service, networking, and leadership in today’s business world.
We talk about the importance of authentic relationships, how businesses can create value beyond the service they provide, and why adaptability and lifelong learning matter more than ever.
This conversation is full of wisdom for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone who wants to build a business people genuinely remember.
