Key Quotes:

“Coaching is a thing that you obsess over, and you think about all the time because you understand when you're on the floor of a call center or sales team, you see the impact that coaching makes.” - Ethan Barhydt

“My sense is that as a company grows, especially when it's growing fast, like quantum has, you start to see the benefits of more structure and structure becomes quite important as you're trying to drive consistency across a big organization.” - Ethan Barhydt

“Accountability is all about visibility. If you don't have your eyes on exactly what's going on, it's going to be really hard to hold your associate accountable to those behaviors that will drive the results.” - Katlyn Eggar
