| 0:00.0 | Everyone seems really confused about what to do to grow. |
| 0:03.3 | And what's really cool about understanding the timeless wisdom of selling is that you won't |
| 0:08.9 | feel confused or overwhelmed with how to grow if you understand the fundamentals of how sales |
| 0:14.9 | works. |
| 0:15.7 | The number one most important thing that I learned in my corporate career and I probably sold |
| 0:20.8 | cumulatively over a hundred million dollars in sale. The first and most important thing |
| 0:25.7 | is that trust is what moves sales. Trust is the foundation of whether or not |
| 0:31.4 | someone will buy from you. People have blinders on and they think the only well |
| 0:35.8 | way to build a really successful business is to build |
| 0:38.9 | a massive following online. When in reality, if you look at the small business world, businesses |

| 1:27.8 | sacrificing the most sacred parts of their life. I came from the Fortune 500 world where I |
| 1:33.6 | started as an entry level employee doing sales and service. And then I worked my way up. I was |
| 1:40.4 | promoted seven times in eight years, became the youngest senior vice president in the company, and ended up building a team of 100 while running 17 unique and individual locations from White Plains, New York, down through the Carolinas. |
| 1:54.1 | My entire career was built on understanding the psychology of sales and how to motivate, elevate, inspire, and lead other people to action. |
