HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

[00:14:44] "The number one most important thing about cold
calling is confidence."

[00:17:06] "The goal isn't to overcome the objection via email.
The goal is to get curious and learn something."

[00:25:27] "The number one most important thing that you can do
when you hear an objection is just try to keep the conversation
going."

[00:49:27] "The reason for following up is never just to follow
up and just to check in because that gives exactly no value to
the person that we're speaking with."
