‘Employees can impact asset strength by doing anything that benefits cash position.’
‘The productivity of employees reflects how much work employees can accomplish and is often affected by the tools and technology they have and the training and education they receive.’

‘People are the most important resource for any company. Employees and customers are two important shareholders to your business.’
‘Your customers are your lifeblood of your business. You should focus on your customers more than on your competitors.’
‘Customers buy more than just products. They purchase trustworthiness, convenience, prestige, or a memorable experience. Determine what your customers are buying.’
‘Companies known for excellence in one driver usually excel in others.’
‘Everything you do to impact profit– primarily increasing sales or reducing expenses, including cost of goods sold- influences the bottom line of your income statement.’
