Episode notes
Brand vs. No Brand
- Matt booked thousands of meetings and closed millions at Zoom, mainly due to brand recognition.
- Leaving Zoom for a no-brand company forced him to rely on cold calling and building trust from scratch.
The 3% Rule
- Only 3% of the market is ready to buy now; the remaining 97% will be ready later.
- Pitching in the first message breaks trust with the 97% not ready to buy.
