And you really want to have somebody who’s going to take the time and really kind of dive in and understand the business and the nuances around it so they can kind of better guide you on how all that should be captured and reported.” -Chris Morgan [19:54]
- “I think if a client is keeping their customers and growing and they're not losing business, then that's a great business, especially if they're hitting those two really well.
