Quotes:

“So we implemented what we call the ski guarantee ski the ski three times. You don’t like it, bring it back for a brand new pair and keep bringing it back until we get it right. Well, this proved to be really terrific.” (07:12)

“But you have to detach yourself from the outcome, from the sale, because if you don’t, the prospect is going to figure out that you’re just there to make the sale.” (11:42)

“Also, another place where cash is hiding is prepaid expenses. So, for example, if you pay your insurance premiums all at once, or if you pay for a trade show in advance, that’s cash that went out the door. But it’s an asset on your balance sheet because you haven’t. It’s not an expired cost yet until the trade show occurs, right?” (23:12)
