Transcript

As a sales manager, I went from being able to go through like five or six deals in a half hour period to over 50 deals in a half hour period and had nothing to do with how good I was. It just was two phrases I used. The first phrase is I say, why can't this deal close today? This cut through all the noise, just like what's the current bottleneck? And the second phrase was, if this deal didn't close, what are the most likely one or two reasons? And it's got to the future heart problem.
