🗣 Ernest Owusu on context vs. no context in calls:
"Having context allows you to break down barriers, personalize your outreach, and engage prospects differently. But you can still be a phenomenal cold caller without it—it's all about how you use the time you have."
🗣 Daisy Chung on making context exciting:
"It's not just about knowing where someone went to school or where they work. It's about how you frame that context to make it engaging and relevant."
🗣 Daisy on AI and automation in sales:
"AI isn't replacing reps; it's removing manual work so sellers can focus on having more meaningful conversations."
🗣 Ernest on building the right call lists:
"You don't need to over-research—just know your persona, their challenges, and what's happening in their industry. That's enough context to open a valuable conversation."
