Key Quotes:
“So, the biggest mistake that I see people make, and it’s no fault of their own, is that they’ve never done the job of the person that they’re reaching out to. And so oftentimes, they’re speaking a completely different language.” – Josh Braun
“Nobody wakes up one day and just buys a product, they will try to get by the best way they know how to get by because of habit and anxiety. It’s hard to glean that information a lot of times from marketing materials because there’s a spin to it.” – Josh Braun
“The superpower is you need to shine a light on a problem that people don’t know about because every one of your prospects is running in their own sneakers today. I call these illumination questions.” – Josh Braun
