Andy Paul's best quotes

“If selling out is being sales-y, selling in is what your buyers need from you.”
Andy Paul [09:23]
“So what’s it cost you to be friendly? Anything? No, I don’t think so. There are so few things that we control in sales, and being friendly is one of them.”
Andy Paul [13:54]
“The only people skill that you need is really just like, can you make a friend? You’re not trying to make the buyer a friend, but the same motion that you go through to make a friend is how you connect with another human being.”
Andy Paul [14:44]
“The weakness of the process for many companies is, especially when you’re selling something more complex, is you put your least knowledgeable people at the point of attack and expect them to have productive conversations. It’s really sort of unfair.”
Andy Paul [35:34]
“I think what we just want to focus people on is listening to understand versus listening to respond. Draw that distinction.”
Andy Paul [45:43]
