00:00:00.000 I consider myself world-class at sales.
00:00:02.220 My company Spheric sold to Fortune 500 companies.
00:00:04.800 We were on this discovery call,
00:00:06.240 five, six people on the call, lasted about an hour.
00:00:08.580 This call was kind of frustrating for me,
00:00:10.140 but I didn't let anybody lead onto it.
00:00:11.920 And at the end of it, I hung up the phone
00:00:13.700 and I just turned to my team and I go,
00:00:15.360 wow, those guys are clueless.
00:00:16.700 Like they really don't know what's going on.
00:00:18.220 Thank goodness they reached out to us
00:00:19.520 because they're gonna need our help.
00:00:20.520 And all of a sudden through the speakerphone,
00:00:22.540 I hear, Dan, we're still on the call.
00:00:24.840 You only learn those kinds of lessons once.
00:00:27.100 No, we did not get the contract,
00:00:28.380 but I will tell you, the phone is off before I say anything.
00:00:33.540 It's probably saved me millions of dollars since then
00:00:36.260 because I've never made that mistake.
00:00:38.160 It's hang up, hung up, then feedback to the team.
