Time makes the Biggest Difference between Making or Losing the Sale…
From Sean Gardner… Being time effective is one of the biggest differences between making or losing a sale and in creating your own customer base for the future.

‘Group think’ goes both ways…It can be good & bad
Bad is when the negative people who know almost nothing, try to convince you that everyone else is wrong and want to hold you back.

There are people selling 40, 50, 60 and 80 units per month, and earning $100,000, $200,000, $300,000 and $500,000+ per year.
