Favorite Quotes

02:42 - "A key reason why people fail is they are unorganized.  Creating a cadence and using any sales engagement platform will help you stay organized despite the fact that you're reaching out to multiple people at the same time." - Ron Halbert

17:20 - "There are a lot of different sequences that you should create and you should use for various reasons. But you need to be really careful about how many you're trying to use at a given time. And you also have to be really careful of about what the sequence demands." - Ron Halbert

26:49 - "The biggest things that you have to keep in mind is, let's be creative. Let's be fun with the sequences but let's not get so creative that you can't keep track of what's going on right in the world. You have to keep track of what's going on and optimize your cadence." - Ron Halbert

30:13 - "Personalization is key. Add some personalization, be real with people. The cadences that your marketing group helps you create, that's not you. Add an element of you to the emails you send, the voicemails you leave, the text messages, and the social touches. They need that element of who you are." - Ron Halbert
