Our Vice President, Beth Beans Gilbert, is always sharing inspirational quotes or advice with our team. These encouraging words have inspired a series of sharing wisdom from women we know or admire. Not only have we asked our team to share quotes or advice from their favorite women, but we've loved this opportunity to celebrate the women who make us better.
One of these quotes was submitted by Jeff Reeb, the GM of Fred Beans Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. His Grandmother, Pauline, used to tell him…
"The floor isn't mopped until you rinse out the mop and hang it up to dry." – Pauline Reeb, Grandmother of Jeff Reeb
She said this to stress the importance of finishing a job. Jeff went on to say that his Grandmother was an amazing woman and one we're honored to celebrate!
Other quotes or pieces of advice from women we admire include:
- "Know what you bring. Know what you don't bring. And build a team that covers everything you need." – Angie Hicks, Co-founder of Angie's List
