• “As you start a business and you start to grow, you've got so many different things you have to learn when it comes to the business side, sales side, taxes, finance, dealing with customers, and also the customer rejection. Answering objections they have so that way you can get over it and move past it for the sale. Figuring all that out was probably the hardest thing. And also faking that confidence. Like I hate saying I was faking it, but I really was because I was still figuring it out.” - Matthew Rocha
• “That's kind of where my goals are is to grow to a point where I can justify a franchise and then start building this side of the U.S. and then expand from there. I mean, grand vision, you know, national franchise or multinational franchise. But, you know, that's years down the road. I've got to take my baby steps.” - Matthew Rocha
• “It's about networking and building up that network because it's not always about the money. It's about giving that customer the best solution for their problem. And if that solution doesn't come from us, it can come from somebody else in our network.” - Nic Staton
