Snippets From The Show

• "A wise man once told me, anything in writing is an agreement, and agreements prevent disagreements." 
• "What do I look for in a sender partner? I'm looking for somebody that obviously cares about their customer base to the degree that they just want to make sure they're delivering a great, successful, hassle-free experience, as much the experience as the desired outcome of whatever the deliverable is."
