  I'm gonna ask a question, the same question of each of you.
• 1:24
  You only have thirty seconds to answer and you cannot steal somebody else's answer.
• 1:29
  If somebody takes your answer, you better think fast on your teeth because we don't play that
• 1:33
  here.
• 1:34
  So the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go back to Sherelle.
• 1:38
  We're gonna start with you first, then you, Tony, then you, Natalia, and then we'll just
• 1:44
  kinda keep going around.
• 1:45
  Does that make sense?
• 1:46
  All right.
• 1:47
  So Sherelle, you've been waiting the longest, so I'm gonna start with you.

  What is your favorite old school marketing tip?
• 4:50
  Old school.

  Natalia, I'm gonna start with you.
• 4:53
  Then, Cherilyn, I'm coming to you next.
• 4:55
  And, Toni, you're number three.
• 4:58
  My old school, listen to your customers.
• 5:02
  There you go.
• 5:04
  You can't beat that.
• 5:05
  Listen to your customers.
• 5:07
  That's a good one.
• 5:08
  What about you, Cherrill?
• 5:09
  I would go and talk to people face to face as opposed to emailing and text, just go sit down
• 5:16
  and talk with them about Go
• 5:19
  meet with actual people.
• 5:20
  Yeah.
• 5:21
  That it's amazing how that is a revolutionary idea days.
• 5:25
  Wanna text somebody.
• 5:26
  We wanna email somebody.
• 5:28
  Lord have mercy.
• 5:29
  Okay.
• 5:29
  Miss Tony.
• 5:31
  Favorite old school?
• 5:32
  I was a telemarketer.
• 5:33
  Hello.
• 5:34
  My name is Tony Johnson.
• 5:34
  I'm calling.
• 5:37
  Yes, telemarketing man, really just getting to and disturbing people at dinner time.
• 5:42
  Yes.
• 5:45
  Telemarketing, pick up the phone, call people.
• 5:47
  No, I'm a believer in calling people too because you can send emails and all this stuff
• 5:51
  if you want to, but you book appointments on the phone.
• 5:54
  And so I'm a big believer in calling people on the phone.
• 5:59
  Love it.
• 5:59
  Love it.
• 5:59
  Love it.
• 6:00
  All right.

• 6:10
  All right.
• 6:11
  Sherrill, I'm going to come to you first, then to you, Tony, and then to you, Natalia.
• 6:16
  Best business book you have ever read.
• 6:19
  I'm gonna say the twelve Week Year by Brian Moran.
• 6:25
  Just the productivity and less time, but still a lot of quality.
• 6:30
  Love it.
• 6:31
  Love it.
• 6:31
  All right, Tony, what is the best business book you've ever read?
• 6:34
  So it's actually Exercise Your Ask Muscle by Nancy Dunleavy.
• 6:42
  Yes.
• 6:43
  Exercise Your Ask Muscle.
• 6:48
  I appreciate the enunciation.
• 6:51
  All right.
• 6:54
  Natalia, tell me your, what is the best business book you've ever read?

  That's My great favorite business book is 10X is Easier Than 2X by Dan Sullivan.
• 7:14
  That book changed my life.
