“I think people buy from people that they like and people that they trust.
So if you know your product and enjoy speaking to people then you will do really well.”

"Before Pitman I worked mainly in financial services leading branch-based teams.
I'm completely in control of my own destiny. I love what I do, and have recently expanded from 1 location to 3."

If you are thinking of investing, just do it!"
