“We don’t think of our staff as revenue-generating resources, and most of them are. Even your front desk [staff], they are making calls and booking in, so they are generating revenue for you. They deserve to be managed and cared for like they are revenue-generating just like our clients are.” [Katie, 4:18]

“When you start to see a staff member going left when you want them to go right, it’s time to be inquisitive about it.” [Kate, 6:23]
