Quotable Moments from Robert Keyes

"So often people think that the power of negotiations at the end of the deal is where you're making your money. If you're waiting to do that, you're not a good business person."
"When you go into your board meetings and your leadership meetings, and you got employees, the worst thing you want is whole team of people saying, "Yes, sir, you're right."
"Any successful business owner, if they're not looking on a weekly basis at their accounts receivable, accounts payable, long term debt, cash in the bank, and bad debt, they're looking for a train wreck."
"Excel does better for us than anything we've been able to find."
"If you can take somebody that has a good aptitude and good integrity, and you begin working with them, you can help them become what you need to do way better than you can take somebody with the most experience in the world, but you can't trust their integrity. You're fighting a losing battle."
"We became the problem solvers and the rest is history."
