00:00 - 00:20 "You know, I always say a CRM will change your life and that sounds so dramatic, but it will because when you're using a CRM, you will absolutely close more sales. You'll have stronger relationships, nothing, and I mean nothing slips through the cracks and your stress level lowers. That is how much power is in a CRM.” — Wanda Allen
