Tweetable Quotes:

  • “We don’t think in terms of campaigns because that’s like spray and pray, right? You send out a campaign and tracking opens, that’s not relationship building. What we do talk about or think about is our processes. What we want you to do is establish some systems that are kind of like your framework.” – Khuram Hussain
  • “What you have to differentiate is your insights, your expertise. You have to tell the customer that you are the person that they want to be talking and doing business with. Build a rapport and pick up the phone, that will be an entirely different conversation.” – Khuram Hussain
  • “From a technology perspective, what we do with onboarding is we make sure that we support you all the way until you get your first success. I think that’s important.” – Khuram Hussain
