Key quotes
“One of the differentiation points of our industry-engagment efforts is because we take a personal approach…we answer the front door and we listen to what you have to say.”
“We are also in discovery…If you have a solution that you think we’re not even aware of, we LOVE that.”
“If the answers to the questionnaire is your ‘resume,’ then the Compass Meeting is the ‘interview.’”
