Platinum Level Service

I've recently had several people ask me for a single list of what I do for clients. Well, after talking to an industry expert I know I decided it was time to put pen to paper (or, fingers to keyboard) and put it down on permanent record. I probably have made the mistake that if you have read my stuff for some time you know what all I do for clients. To correct that failed assumption it is in one place now. I have listed it below, however, if you want to download a pdf of it you can click on the title of this week's email.
