Point A may be the challenge and point B is the resolution, so let’s build bridges. Let’s create a seamless customer experience and get them from A to B in the most painless, cost effective way.” - Jim Robinson, (3:35)“There’s a phrase we use regularly, customers will coach you. They’ll tell you. And if they stop telling you what they need, they’ve already quit or they’re about to. So the success of that is open dialogue. Hear them clearly and find out what they truly need.” - Jim Robinson, (9:02)“Thousands of people already created a service so we’d have a better life this morning. That’s a big deal. We’re going to lean heavy into that. We’ll keep repeating that. We’re going to teach people how to serve, and we’re going to raise our bar in how we serve our teams.” - Jim Robinson, (15:21)“I think the goal is to always impact lives. We can do that today, and we’re going to do it next year, the year after that, and beyond because we too are going to continue to grow. We will commit to staying in an education environment and joining committees so we can serve other people.” - Jim Robinson, (26:06)
