Transcript

My best salesman collected $100 million for me over years. 100 million. Dude, he wasn't the smartest. He wasn't the highest dopamine. He had skills, but he was a 99. He actually cared about clients. He'd get them on the phone. I always tell people, their lives, not leads. My best sales guy ever, one of the greatest, he liked people. He genuinely, if he was selling you one of my programs, he'd follow up for no extra money, no commissions. He cared. He knew about your kids, he knew about that.
