  • Joshua Gillow explains pitching early wastes time when buyers are in different stages of decision-making.
ANECDOTE

Meeting Every Lead Cost Me Time

  • Joshua Gillow shares his early-career habit of meeting every lead because he thought showing up would close deals.
  • He realized many prospects were merely browsing or not ready, which wasted his time and energy.
ADVICE
