Favorite Quotes

“I never ever encourage people to use things like false urgency or false scarcity, even though they do work. What we want to learn is where hesitations actually lie and what's going to best address them.”

“You're always dropping breadcrumbs, right? Whether you have a very direct call to action or you are mentioning something for the sake of mentioning it, people need to hear it 15 times before they will actually take action.”

“We always want to learn where our people are starting from. We're usually not in the business of selling people on the idea that they have a problem. We usually meet people at the problem.”
