“I remember this one salesperson immediately handed me her card and was literally trying to scream her pitch about her company. In the middle of the club, over the music, while we’ve already had a couple drinks. I was shocked and mind-blown that she didn’t know coming up to someone in the wrong setting would just not work.”

“If you’re using a template where you copy and pasted my name wrong and you call me something else, I’ll never answer you, forever.”

“A salesperson builds a report first to want to get to know you genuinely, about your company, and then just tell you how they can help you.”
