 Quotes

"You cannot do all of it. You need people. So you need people that you can trust to be part of your leadership team, because one thing, really one crucial problem is really maintaining the quality of service or the product that you are providing to your customers, or, if not, your churn will go high and high and then would kill you definitely." - JV Fiel
