    • “If you just walk in there and ask for the pain points so you can sell them something, that's lame and weak.” - Kyle Houck
    • “When you're asking the questions such as, what are the things that keep you awake at night, you're listening to be able to give them a solution to that problem as opposed to selling them the product.” - David Carothers
