“It’s very easy to say you’re into building customer relationships when things are going well, but it’s when things go badly, it’s how an organisation handles it that is the real test of character”-Glen Carlson
“If someone is prepared to go above and beyond to fix a problem, there’s a huge build up of trust because if that’s how you operate in stormy seas, imagine how you operate when the weather’s fine. That becomes remarkable.The way in which you conduct yourself is what people talk about”-Glen Carlson
On meeting prospective clients “Most business owners waste their prospects time with information that isn’t relevant at that time”-Glen Carlson
The impediment to business growth: “99 times of out 100 the biggest force multiplier in being able to help small business owners get out of the struggle zone is for them to develop, as the founder, their own personal brand. Because people relate far more to people, than to logos or taglines”-Glen Carlson
