NOTABLE QUOTES (KEY LESSONS):
“The following up is the biggest thing, which is probably the easiest thing, but what people don’t do. Call them. Call, text, email, every couple of weeks. Just to stay top-of-mind. They talk to hundreds of people, probably a week. So, you’ve got to make sure you’re making an impression in some way.”
