Tweetable Quotes:

  • “Sometimes we’re so worried about getting somebody to agree with us, or give us the order, or whatever else that we sell ourselves short.” David Carothers
  • “Don’t sell yourself short. Go in there, like the professional that you are, and establish that your time is equally as valuable, that you’re every bit as qualified as you need to be. And then stay in your lane and don’t get distracted.” David Carothers
  • “It’s a mindset, you’ve got to be in that mindset that your time is just as valuable as the people that you’re meeting with. And when you do that, it just kind of exudes off of you. You don’t even have to do anything specifically. It’s just it just naturally, they understand by the way that you carry yourself.” Kyle Houck
