Quotes

[08:35] - When we become an educator and an advocate for our target audience, trust is increased because they see you as that expert, not as some pushy salesperson.” ~ Mike Saunders

[12:25] - “People like to buy, but they don’t like to be sold.” ~ Mike Saunders

[18:28] - “It takes five to seven to 10 times more money to get a new client than to maintain your current clients. So with all of this marketing and authority positioning and increased trust, don't forget your clients that you currently have because those clients already gave you their level of trust at a certain time. You have to maintain that.” ~ Mike Saunders
