QUOTES
04:37 "What concern about salespeople today is that they're afraid to try new things ... I was always open to trying new ideas, new ways to help me grow. I held myself to a higher degree of a standard than anybody else."
10:49 "But you know what, that's how you learn, that's how you grow. You gotta be willing to try new things. Because anything I can part on your listeners is the only way to grow is try new things. And you gotta be willing to do it, and you gotta be willing to s*** at it and learn from it."
18:19 "Whatever you do in your career, don't ever half-a** your sales career. Go at it 100% because if you can't do the small things correctly, you'll never be able to do the big things correctly."
21:51 "Six percent of people will remember what you said 10 minutes after you leave ... your buyers and your current customers are gonna remember six percent of what you said after you leave the room or the virtual room. However, they're gonna remember 100 percent of how you made them feel ... the message matters so much in sales."
26:47 "I lacked confidence, I lacked believability in myself, maybe I had low self-worth at that time and I go 'I just can't do this.' However, where I really started to understand is when I started to bring care and appreciation in all this to the forefront ... 'Listen, I'm putting me out there. I'm providing a level of service and experience you're not getting with other people, there's a cost associated with that."
29:08 "In order to really be a truly great sales professional out there, you gotta really get to know who you really are. You gotta get on the road to self-discovery, acceptance, self-acknowledgement, and self-care. You really gotta do the hard work."
33:36 "If y'all wanna have an overflowing sales funnel, you gotta build a network flowing relationship funnel. And the way you build relationships is through conversation. And you understand what makes that person tick."
37:30 "I'm a big believer of if you want to get to know somebody, you got to be willing to go first. And I go first all the time. I share something of me to get the ball rolling. And it doesn't have to be deep dark secrets or anything like that, just a little piece of me to somebody."
