He argues the numbers game was invented to make constant rejection feel normal, and that in a low-trust market the quality and depth of a conversation matters far more than the volume of calls. Rejection, in his view, is usually triggered by how a seller communicates, which means it can be diffused rather than endured. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.briantracy.com/blog/sales-success/the-2-biggest-myths-in-selling-today/ Quotes to ponder: "It's about how good you are at creating trust."
