    • “Our core values that we ascribe to, that we hire and fire by, and we use to answer all the questions are all about relationships.” - Paul Hawkins
    • “HawkSoft 6 is just that next iteration. And we didn't want agencies to feel like we are creating a new product that we're going to resell to you guys, because that's not what we're doing. HawkSoft 6 is just an upgrade, it's an upgrade to the new product.” - Sean Hawkins
