12. “That day I was the hero of the office. Everyone
wanted to know how I got these, and I probably told
the story 10 times.”
“Here’s where Tasti D-lite really took it to the next
level. Now, I’ve got a face (or two) to put with the
story. Now, when I go downstairs to Tasti D-lite, I’ve
got two friends. They’ve been to my place of
business; they’ve given me something tangible.
No matter how engaging and transparent we are
online, it’s no match for face to face engagement.”
- Rick Liebling
