Quotes

  • “We know that the vast majority of the buying process is opaque to sellers. I think 17% of it is what we get to see as sellers.” - Doug Bell

  • “When it comes to buyer engagement, it's about remembering that it's a human being and we human beings love to be listened to. And we love for you to comprehend the stuff that we're telling you. But we also want you to do a little bit of research on the back end, and engage with us on other channels.” Kyle Lacy

  • “Enablement often begins with a profound understanding of the market.” Doug Bell
