Notable Quotes

● People want more, more time, more freedom, and when you fill in the blank, you can do that when you have a sales foundation. That is how you get more.

● Investing in yourself and training the employees to know what you're good at as an executive could benefit in incorporating in business to be an effective leader.

● You can't get a contract without a contact. The only way to change a contact to a contract is if there is a relationship. You have to build a relationship.

● The questions have to be harder questions that most people are uncomfortable asking, but it's in that uncomfortable nature where the relationship starts and forms.

● I am specifically working with brick-and-mortar beauty and wellness businesses because those people are healers, and our community needs more healing. So if I can help them make more money, they can help the community, and hopefully, it will become cyclical. So that's really why I chose them first.

● I always want to lead with value always and give some more people in sales. Just keep giving.

● If things aren't going my way, that's on me, and I get to decide how to improve things. Usually, bring in a trainer or a coach that helps.
