“You make sure that your marketing and your messaging, are solid, before you start building on a massive team, because it's not their fault that they can't sell a product that you haven't been clear about, in terms of the value proposition.” (26:34-26:50)
“You want prompts to remind you to call this person to do that you want to be able to push out information to lots of people that you've talked to over time. All of those things are better if you've got a CRM system that is in place." (36:17-36:27)
