  • "To let go of the subjective and focus on the objective when it comes to profit is not always easy, especially when you can be so focused on sales because you see it as the conductor engine." - Khalil Benalioulhaj

  • "Profit is a way that both parties can benefit to a transaction." - Martin Holland

  • "You don't really take advantage of a customer if they're willing to purchase from you what you want to sell them." - Martin Holland

  • "Government should be vigorously promoting the advance and increase profitability because they're the number one benefiting shareholders." - Martin Holland

  • "If you make money, you can give it away and do good things. If you don't make money, you have no power to do that other than maybe volunteering on your weekends." - Martin Holland

  • "It's only through profit that we can actually do good. And we do good because we're rewarded for it." - Khalil Benalioulhaj
