Notable Quotes:
- [10:48] - “Pick someone that has a 100% view in their mind that this will be successful. They have no problem with it at all. They’re convinced it’s the right technology. And then, pick someone that absolutely hates it. And, by the end of an implementation, if you’ve managed to turn that person that really didn’t like the idea of it into saying, ‘I can see this. I get this. I can see the proof point of this technology,’ you’ve done it!” - James

It’s about understanding the roles and how important those roles are to the future viability of the business. Without sales, there’s no revenue, you could argue. Without legal, there’s no business because if you signed everything that came through your legal front door, there’s a chance you’d be in some hot water.” - James
