Episode Highlights
"One kind of salespeople suck up to these buyers. That's not the kind of salespeople I want to be. The other kind of salespeople are so composed. They'll leave their stuff there. They'll grab a little bit of their insults and their bullying, but they remain professional. But there's got to be a third choice here, now I'm a risk taker. I am an early adopter." - Francis Kong
"If you don't stand out and or you don't go the extra mile, you're going to get left behind." - John Rankins
"Millennials now are the key people in strategic positions for leadership, but now they're handling Gen Z people." - Francis Kong
"Life's not fair. Life will knock you down, but life's still beautiful." - John Rankins
"The old principles in effective selling will never change. Principles don't change. But the behavior and mannerism and the instruments and the way you express and the way you sell, they will always change. And now, whether you like it or not, in whatever industry we are in, I would say that whatever industry and whatever company we are running, it is to be seen as a tech company." - Francis Kong
