(25:37) Key Quotes: "That's why you get VE’s who don't just listen to what you say. They're actually able to take something and continue on if they run into an obstacle, able to think for themselves, able to hear the problem that a client has and able to offer a solution without being told everything to do. These people cost money." - Jason Cass "Right now we're not selling on how great our VE's are. People are buying from us because they're buying in the trust of Jason Cass and the fact that I'm going to deliver a good product to them." - Jason Cass "As I've said before, it's the greatest industry God ever created because it's allowed me to meet people that I never thought that I'd meet. I've gone places that I never thought that I would go. And I've given my family the life that I never thought that I could give them." - Jason Cass Resources Mentioned: Reach out to Jason Cass Virtual Intelligence Cover Desk Savvital Lava Automation Agency Intelligence
