KEY QUOTES FROM GOLLAPALLI
“Carrier loyalty is probably one of the most important things. When you talk to brokers, the very first thing they will say is, ‘We want our carriers to be loyal to us. And we want to be loyal to our carrier.’”
“This one-transactional behavior between a broker and a carrier is really bad for both the parties, not just a broker or a carrier. So our purpose is how do we help carriers and brokers build that relationship using a software platform?”
