And because we’re so focused on your pricing table, your scope of work, we also have analytics on lower-level interaction.” – Joe Ardeeser
  • “I think when we decided to go on the journey, there were so many discoveries. One of them is the fact that when you create a catalog, you can actually have someone else create proposals for you, which is a really, really helpful game changer.” – Joe Ardeeser
  • “I love the idea of building momentum. So each time you’re creating a proposal, you’re asking new questions, a lot of questions you’ve already answered, but you’re asking some new questions. And you’re always building your system.” – Joe Ardeeser
