Quotes:
Be clear on what you want from an offshore team and really set expectations, not only for the offshore team but also with your internal team, of what that looks like.
Great people equal great business and we have great people that are helping us build a great business.”
We can take on more clients than we’ve been able to in the past…our profit margin is starting to grow a little bit because of that.
Learn to be vulnerable with your clients as well as your team members, because it makes you more of a person…it’s a strength because it really builds relationships and connections, which is really what all business is about.
You can’t have offshore people do the same things that people in the office can do. And that’s not true at all. With the technology that we have today, there’s really nothing that people can’t do.
On finding the right people: “Every company has its mission and values and if you have people who don’t really want to participate in that mission or values, then you’re not going to get the cohesion and the success that you want.
