Quotes
"One of the mantras that I live by is that time kills all deals, right? Inactivity kills all deals. Open decision points will kill a deal, right? And so the challenge that we solved was taking those exit criteria and boiling them down to can you write a proposal for this client. Not a proposal that they need necessarily to sign. But can you write a proposal that will basically set out something that we can provide them that will provide them value.” –Charles Lu, VP of Operations, LexCheck
