Key Takeaways:

• The reason a video might not perform well on social media is often due to its intro being too long, too confusing, or too niched. [02:13]

• When doing paid advertising, start with Facebook and YouTube ads because they help you validate way quicker. [13:40]

• Organic marketing is unpredictable, unlike paid advertising. [14:04]

• If you lack knowledge in sales and conversion, you might generate a ton of leads from organic marketing, but they still won't convert because you don't know how to turn those viewers into customers. [14:27]

• Consultative selling simplifies the process because it builds rapport and trust with your prospects. Instead of feeling pressured, they feel motivated to work with you. [20:48]

• The first person to speak after the price is mentioned loses. [35:27]

• In the psychology of sales objections, humans tend to give reasons that do not make them sound weak. [38:34]
