Quotes

“The average human attention span is only 7 seconds.” 

“Objection: Reason or argument offered by your client that opposes your idea, product, or the action plan.” 

“Objections are actually a really good thing. They are an indication that they are interested in having a conversation with you, otherwise they would just walk away.” 

“Instead of fighting objections, work together to find a common ground.” 

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
