Key Quotes from the Episode:

"For sales, you should know a sales process and a methodology but you can only get so good at sales from watching a video or reading a book. You actually have to practice selling."

"The biggest pothole that I see with salespeople is that they don't spend enough time on the problem that they're trying to solve."

"Don't try and be somebody else. Just be uniquely yourself because in sales, the more you try and be somebody that you're not the more it’s going to suck."
