Quotes:
● It makes me very happy when I can connect somebody with somebody that is going to make a world of a difference in their life that they need. I love connecting people. That makes my heart probably the happiest.
● We are not a fly-by-night type of business. We are a long-term business. so therefore, it's getting that word out there, educating people why they need us.
● "Build relationships first. It's really the opposite of what I thought initially."
● During Covid, people understood the value of us, us. The thing is, covid is not a thing anymore. Right. I mean, I know it's still there, but it's not the scare of what it was. Right. But there's always gonna be something coming down the pike.
● Be genuine because if you're really there just to sit down and have a sales appointment, that's not how you network. People will not sit down with you when they find out you're gonna sit there and sell them.
● Get a buddy. It's so much easier when you have someone to go with you.
