Doesn’t exactly sound like a thrilling read, does it? 😂 And yet he reports that he’s earned almost $500k from the book so far.

Sales vs Marketing
What’s the difference? 🤔 I like this explanation via Hacker News: Sales is a conversation, marketing is a broadcast. Marketing gets the phone to ring, sales takes the call and closes the deal.
