Ekin Ober
[8:31] "What do you want to do as a salesperson? You want to make the person feel special. 'I've spent time with you. I spend time looking at your profile. I know a little bit about you. Hey, you posted this recently. Hey, I know this about your company.' So there's that research aspect of it."
[20:01] "I don't know if I'm a salesperson. I don't know if I'll really get to that point. But you told me that it's never about being a salesperson. It's about following the process, knowing your process, and knowing what to say, what to do, and when."

[10:18] "Doing it the right way gets the salespeople happier... And if they're using the right processes and the right tools, it's going to get the results which of course will make you happy. It's going to lead to the better bottom line, but it's also going to make them happy."
[18:47] "The only reason I would accept them (job applicant) if they're bare, there is that I see potential, and I see opportunity. And I want to believe in them. And if they come with energy and passion, like you're saying, that shows me that they're going to want to put the work in there. They're going to want to make it work out."
