QUOTES

Josh: “There's a compounding effect. If you just treat people the right way, no matter if they're a fit for you or not. How often those people come around, and you'll see deals five years later that you completely forgot about just coming out of nowhere.”

Josh: “Nobody really gives a shit about what you sell. Like, focus on them, focus on their business, how they make money, and then figure out if what you sell is the right fit. And be honest about it.”

Josh: “Executives are looking for a perspective. So if you take the time to go experience it yourself, experience their product and bring them back your findings and your learnings and a solution, dude, anyone would get excited about that.”

Josh: “As a seller, I evolved, like I went from volume and velocity like product based services. Now it's more of a consultative sale. There's more services we can wrap around this, how do we expand and then all of a sudden, we're playing with bigger companies.”

Collin: “It takes a lot of discipline to know, and not just take that path, because I think sellers think you gotta know when you're ready, and you gotta know like if you’re built for it? Like not everybody wants that? For sure. And top performing, high performing reps don't make great sales leaders.”

Collin: “The problem with a lot of top performers is they think everybody should sound like them. This is how I get the job done. Why can't you get the job done? And why can't you get the job done the way I get the job done? And that is a recipe for disaster rather than managing a team of people.”
