JOBST NEERMAN QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW
“Get the people not who are arrogant, but who say “I can give something to you” because it takes a lot off your shoulders… You need to be patient, you need to be motivated, and you need to have a vision”
“They should accept 50 ‘no’s’ minimum and be able to say “OK, next, maybe at some point I’ll get a ‘yes’”
