🔥 From Burnout to Brisket

Hey Fellow Friendly Closer,

This week I posted on LinkedIn—and it must’ve struck a nerve.

A few theories on why it took off:

• People love to talk about spending money

• There's AI buzz everywhere, but very few actual wins being shared

So let me say this clearly:
People are still crushing quota in 2025.

I’m currently sitting at 125% to goal—with 24 days left in the quarter.

Let’s bring back the energy of sharing what’s working. The game isn’t dead. You just need the right playbook.

💡 Closer Tip of the Week

I ask this on every call:
“What piqued your curiosity to book this call?”

Then I pause—and listen.

Kevin “KD” Dorsey shared this during a demo training with our team, and it’s become one of the most powerful questions in my sales toolkit.

It instantly surfaces the first layer of pain or gives me a clear signal on where to take the conversation.

Try it this week. It works.
