Notable Quotes:
“Cold calling works if you do it right. And that was the premise that we tried to bring
over to Managed Sales Pros.”
– Tracie Orisko
“The definition of insanity is…you do the same thing over and over again, and you expect different results. In cold calling and outsourced prospecting, you want to do the exact same thing every single time, because it will bring you to the same results. Standardized process is what makes—especially an outsourced program—work.”
– Tracie Orisko
“The magic comes from being in the right time at the right place. People will talk a lot about luck, but Traction will teach us that luck is simply lining yourself up properly through accountable action to be in the right time at the right place.”
– Tracie Orisko
