Key Quotes:

“All of these things that we tell a prospect about... what it is that makes us better, all it really does is put us in the same bucket as everybody else. Because, the vast majority of your competitors out there are doing just that.” - Charles Specht

“You have to be able to teach your prospects how to get the things that they want. You have to be able to explain to your prospect what it is that you're going to be able to do for them, so that they can achieve the things they want.” - Charles Specht

“If you can't differentiate yourself from the competition, then you are the very epitome of mediocrity. Nobody is going to make a switch to get some more mediocrity. So, you need to really figure out how to differentiate yourself in the marketplace.” - Charles Specht
