Valuable Quotes from our Attendees

Our Topic of discussion inspired many of our attendees to leave quotes as suggestions based on our topic of conversation. Read on to see what our attendees do when they have an emotional upset during their day.

Dean Pearson

If you sell based on price (only.)

You can lose by price as well.

It’s important to sell on the value. Dean Pearson

Laura Van Schyndel

 Yes. Taking care of the customer is important

Showing them why they need what you have to offer!

Marketing and customer service are important!

Let people know why they need what you offer!

Sean Stockman

“Don’t use emotion when investing.

It’s not about timing the market, it’s about time in the market.”

Bill Sargent

Not everyone is our customer. We have to not only be levels above our competition, but we have to convey that value and perception to our potential clients.

One of the biggest mistakes business owners make is trying to be all things to all people. To be successful, we have to turn away business. Our prices and offerings won’t be a fit for everyone and we have to be okay with that.

Caryn Willens

Customer centric…go the extra mile.

Mellissa Etzler

When you truly value what you offer the right people will find value in it as well, no matter the economic status

Jonathon Heider

Quote: Own Your Story. Capture the highs and lows of your story.

Jeffrey “Jeff” Delwiche

“The biggest sale you’ll ever make is yourself!”

“A sale is a process, not an objective.”

I can also take your Super 8 and 8mm films and digitize them so you can watch them on your computer and not with a projector and screen. I can also digitize your slides and photos.
