Amanda Puppo Quote 2

Understand that low price doesn't always guarantee the best quality. Set your goals clearly, determine your timeframe and budget, and ensure you're investing enough to achieve your goals.

  • If you approach a Sales Agency with a do-or-die mindset of making immediate sales in a short time, consider investing your money elsewhere. Success in marketing, especially in appointment-setting and lead generation, requires time and patience to develop opportunities and products, so ensure you are ready for that commitment.

  • Amanda Puppo Quote 3
    Don't just aim for the low-hanging fruit, but seek out the big, impactful deals. While we all desire instant sales, it might not be immediately feasible, and landing a massive deal may take time. Persistence and patience are crucial in this journey.
