Episode Highlights

"I want people to remember that the best state for a lead to buy is a relaxed state. So even though we've watched Wolf of Wall Street and all of these other shows where it features super talented sales people doing high pressure sales, and even though they can sell, you have to remember that the moment that they pull out their wallet, they're probably just relieved, but not really relaxed, right? - Karla Singson

"When you're authentic and you don't give a shit what people think and you really do put it out there that you want. Sales is something I'm doing for you, not to you." - John Rankins

"If someone is nervous about spending the money, I don't even want to talk to them because maybe it's not just the money that they're nervous about. Maybe it's something else in their life." - Karla Singson

"To become unstoppable, you have to be willing to get uncomfortable. And I was uncomfortable on a lot of stages because, you know, there's billionaires out there, people that created a lot more than me. But I learned something from Tony Robbins. He said to me, John, your experiences and what you learn from them give you superiority over your experiences because they're yours, you own them. No one is superior to anyone, but you're superior in your own experiences." - John Rankins

"For you to be genuine and humorous intentionally, you have to know a lot about the world. You have to read a lot. You have to be genuinely curious. If you have the privilege to travel as much as you can, I think you have to because let me tell you the jokes I tell British people are not the same jokes I tell American people. And then I have to tiptoe somewhere." - Karla Singson
