3 Takeaways:

  1. The importance of understanding how policy and procedures that are put in place from the office are executable in the field. How Chris spent time working in the store long after being an executive.
  2. Is the customer always right?
  3. Don't react to what is happening from a technology standpoint TODAY, but where you see it tomorrow. Lessons he learned and what he might have done differently.
