"What talent do we need in order to become a world class company? I think that customers have something all in common, they hate to buy. They don’t like to buy and make the wrong decision, so we really need to look at four sets of skills. Are they good with transactions? Relationships? Creating value? Trusted Advisor?"

- Gerhard Gschwandtner
