And so oftentimes, they're speaking a completely different language.” - Josh Braun “Nobody wakes up one day and just buys a product, they will try to get by the best way they know how to get by because of habit and anxiety. It's hard to glean that information a lot of times from marketing materials because there's a spin to it.” - Josh Braun “The superpower is you need to shine a light on a problem that people don't know about because every one of your prospects is running in their own sneakers today. I call these illumination questions.” - Josh Braun Resources Mentioned: Agency Intelligence Reach out to Ryan Hanley Josh Braun LinkedIn Sales DNA Learn more about your ad choices.
