Tweetable Quotes:

• “If you want to make your business fit their technology then that's great. Realize there may be things that you do that you're going to have to change simply because their system is not set up to work the way that you work.” - David Lefevre
• “Trying to make sure that you capture as many people as you can in that decision making circle. Gathering that information making sure that you have those names, contacts, and emails because you may not always be able to get in and talk to the CFO.” - David Lefevre
• “You need to be looking at it as, how am I saving money in terms of hours and labor. Am I able to improve the sales that I make? Instead of closing five new clients last month, am I able to add a client every month on average and basically pay for the software and then some? That's how you can look at how you're paying for it.” - David Lefevre
