Some of us have a harder time than others trying to get into newer accounts and

0:04.9

today we've got a guest on it and I cannot imagine a harder situation to get

0:12.0

into new accounts. It's viewed as a commodity, you're not in the same country,

0:18.9

it's not your primary language, you're competing against a million other people,

1:51.5

prospecting and we're going to get into it today. I think you're really going to

1:55.1

get a lot out of this. This is clearly a very talented sales person. Even if

2:01.2

this is not your bag, you know selling IT services, please listen because it
