  • Why you need to understand how your customers learn so you know how to sell to them
  • How to pressure-proof your presentations
  • Knowing who your real competitor is
  • How to stop working for free (which you might do on occasion, even though you’re collecting a paycheck)
  • Why you didn’t get into medical sales to make a living (it’s not what you think…listen and see if you agree)
  • Why you need to invest in your own success or you’re in big trouble
  • Why what you know doesn’t matter
