QUOTES “You have to be prescriptive and you have to implement those things so that not only you’re doing things correctly, but you’re also enabling your teams to getting better buy in and adoption, because that can be really tough.” - Chet Lovegren [05:07] “Right now, you’ve got to do more with less.” - Chet Lovegren [10:05] “You have to focus on the inputs and not just the inputs, but strategically approaching the inputs because… making 100 cold calls is not gonna be successful. Making 100 good cold calls is what’s gonna make you successful. That’s part of what The Sales Doctor’s trying to help people accomplish is enabling people to get to a point where they’re leveling up their skills so that they’re not making the perfect cold call, because perfect is the enemy of great, but they’re making good, if not great, cold calls.” - Chet Lovegren [25:43] “When you’re met with an objection: Objection, Value Prop #1, Objection, Value Prop #2, Objection, Value Prop #3, Objection 4, Call it Quits.” - Chet Lovegren [36:07] TIMESTAMPS [00:00] Intro [00:25] This week’s guest: Chet Lovegren [01:48] Why Chet became The Sales Doctor & What it means to be prescriptive.
