Quotable Moments

  • “Software is NOT a silver bullet. It’s not going to solve all of your problems.” – Khalil

  • “Using software is more about behavior changes instead of features or integrations. If you don’t use it right, or regularly, it won’t solve your problems.” – Khalil

  • “You want to map out what that timeline looks like. It will be really clear to you where you need to develop systems in your business.” – Khalil

  • “Beware of the silver bullet and one-size-fits-all software. You may have a software that does it all, but then you realize it’s not even set up for your industry.” – Khalil

  • “Having integration matters, but there are some integrations that are more valuable than others. Look inside your business and see where there’s overlap or collaboration and integration might be necessary.” – Khalil
