Tweetable Quotes:

• “I’ve gotten more business off of just giving away free information to people than you could ever believe.” – Josh Gurley
• “If you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time, you don’t have to have your account managers do different things. It’s not brand new, you’re not having to figure out who the markets are.” – Josh Gurley
• “If you take what we’ve done in the niche, and that’s not all that we do, right? I mean, that’s probably 30% to 40% of what we do. But if you take what has been done in the niche, and you take the business that has been written out of there, it’s well over a million dollars in five years.” – Josh Gurley
