QUOTES

Seamus: "There's only 24 hours a day, about 6 to 8 of those need to be spent sleeping. That leaves you with a limited amount of time to do what salespeople do best, connecting people with solutions. And AI is supposed to make that job easier and better."

Seamus: "We're not there to just take your money. We're there to build a relationship. I teach my sales folks to be, effectively, the person you meet at the bar who you make a good connection with and who happens to know the person who can solve your problem."

Seamus: "There's a knowledge gap with the value that artificial intelligence and machine learning can have for businesses that are anything other than technology."
