Highlights:

"I mean, when you asked me what my biggest challenge was, I don't know what I'm selling."

"Your secret sauce is identifying what the problem is around their customers in their pipeline, so you can pull them into action."

"I will help increase your conversion, or I will add another 2% to your conversion, or you don't pay anything."

"I haven't done a whole lot of marketing or talked to a lot of people about it, so I find it hard to believe that you have enough data to say that this doesn't work."
