Notable Quotes:
“I’ve also always believed that—and maybe it was as a door to door salesman that I learned this—that the human voice has magic in business.”
– Chris Beall
“That also explains why most sales situations—most pursuits as we might call them—fail. They end with no purchase whatsoever because none of the sellers exceed that threshold of trust with the buyer. They don’t become more trusted than the buyer trust themselves.”
– Chris Beall
