Key Thoughts: 
  • You cannot sell more of something at a really bad price and continue to make money, a bad price is a bad price.  Michele Williams 

     

  • An ideal client is somebody who has the same value statements that we are coming in with as the company and there's a value continuance between us and that client.  Michele Williams 

     

  • The more we're fighting people, processes, or not knowing what the numbers are, the more it's going to cost us the profits and the money, but also the profitability of peace in our lives.  Michele Williams 

     

  • Know how money comes in, know how revenues are recognized, know how profit is recognized, and know when you need those funds.  Michele Williams
