Tweetable Quotes:

 

“Even though everybody can buy from you, not everybody will and that is okay. Your revenue generation and growth are hinging upon your ability to niche in and do a dang good job serving one or two groups. Over time, as they buy more from you, other people will notice and they’ll want it. Then you'll have the revenue to go and talk to those people and build market share.”

“Understanding the different words and how you can use those words to really convey the message, connect with people and draw them into having that conversation.”
