Quotes:

“We give more than what the normal in our space is. We’ve always done it that way. We’ve always made it a little bit more interesting than what our verticals are.” - Jim Robinson, (5:31)

“The people that are in our space specifically, they hear that and they desire to come here because of the totality of the packages that they’re going to receive and the treatment they’re going to receive. They know if they’re coming here, we’re going to grow them as an individual.” - Jim Robinson, (9:42)

“When you come in to us, we tell you up front, if you’re not interested in growing, you’re in the wrong company. We really desire to help you find that next gear, that next level.” - Jim Robinson, (13:50)
