HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

"Process equals speed."

"If you're not prepared, you'll figure it out after the call, but
then it's too late."

"The best way, the best connection you can make is to give that
person space to be able to articulate what their challenges or
problems are."

"If you can get the channel really working for you and selling on
your behalf, you can touch so many more people."

"You can have three guys in a boat, but if only one's rowing,
it's definitely not gonna work."
