QUOTES

Collin sees people who keep assuming:

“The other problem that I think a lot of people make, and every seller can admit that they have done this or even still do it right is making a lot of assumptions.”

Ethan on what people should align with:

“The number one winners’ did over the second place is they aligned to greater initiatives and priorities that I was caring about.”

Ethan highlights priorities over pain points:

“Yes, they have this pain. And if it's big enough, sure, you might grab their attention. But you know, a way easier way to grab their attention is aligning with their priorities.”
