Episode Quotes
“We touch a little bit of everything across the board, but I think what really makes us unique is our team. We come in as a team approach – two to three people depending on the level of engagement.”
“We come in on a remote basis and fractional, so you're not hiring us. That way you can get a whole team of people – a whole department – at a fractional cost and a fractional amount of time."
“If you want change, you don't come into a meeting and say, ‘hey, we're going to change.’ You come into the meeting with little bits of pieces of information over a period of time and you socialize those topics."
