“If you hate the only thing that keeps you in business, you're in trouble.” (2:03-2:06 | Liz)
-
“If you don't want to be salesy and pushy and a used car salesman and all of that, then you have to make a decision to what you want to be. Do you want to be confident, strong, self assured? Do you want to show up as someone who's authentic and understands how to talk to another human being who is interested in their product and service? That's it.” (3:35-3:54 | Liz)
-
“Take your mind off of all the things you think selling is and start to declare what it is.” (4:29-4:34 | Liz)

“You do need skills and a process. You can't just wake up and say, I'm a good salesperson, if you don't have the process and don't understand how people make buying decisions, and how you could match up your sales process with their buying process. You don’t know how those two work, you’ll always be struggling.” (5:24-5:42 | Liz)
-
“If you're putting yourself out there with a product and service, and someone says no, you just move on.” (6:48-6:55 | Liz)
-
“When you have a process that fits you because it's made for you, and you use it every day, that's the way that you can find success.” (14:13-14:21 | Liz)
-
“If we box people into a corner, or sell the way that we buy, we're screwed, over and over.” (17:52-17:58 | Liz)
-
“Excessively emailing someone with your sales pitch is not going to work. You are ruining your credibility and any chance of starting a connection with someone.” (23:30-23:39 | Liz)
-
“Stop making selling so challenging and difficult. It's not. It is a skill that can be learned, like any skill.” (45:12-45:23 | Liz)
