QUOTES

Collin: "I think sales is the number one skill that you need as entrepreneur because even if you have the best product, but you don't know how to get people to buy it, or to care about it, then it's never gonna be successful."

Justin: "Everyone is kind of like a child. We're all just children. You have to be nurturing. You have to be understanding. They might have  a temper tantrum. They might not want something. And that's okay. You still treat people with respect, ask them for feedback. 'Oh you don't want to invest, why? What about the business model do you not like? What could be changed to make it better, to where you'd want to invest?'"

Justin: "I feel like it's important to be persistent, even if you know that they're not gonna buy it. It's like, 'I know you're not gonna buy this, because you're not returning my call. But tell me why, give me a reason. Because think that's important information that you should always expect of a prospect. Don't just take nothing for an answer."

Justin: "It's not that time consuming if you just want to get like 1,2,3,4,5,6 influencers, like to make content for you. You can do that on your own. But it's when you want to have like, 30 people a month, or 20 people a month, putting out content constantly. You need to have a dashboard, track everything, and you want to have this engine running at all times. Then it gets increasingly more difficult and more complicated."
