Episode notes

The chapter features a competitive conversation between two individuals about their sales skills, with a playful debate on the merits of Soul Food versus BBQ for dinner. They discuss their different styles of selling, share anecdotes, and highlight the importance of understanding customer needs. The speakers also touch upon sales tactics, closing deals, and the significance of being a resource rather than just a salesperson.
