The most successful car salesman in America had a different question:
Not “How do I sell this person a car today?” but “How do I make sure they come back to me for their next one?”
So he sometimes downsells, recommends a cheaper model that’s nearly as good. Builds instant trust. One McLaren salesman even saved Jay Leno $20k on ceramic brakes he didn’t need.
Rory Sutherland points out that if you only chase short-term, easily measured sales, you’ll never do this. The top guy probably looked average for his first few years.
Long-term success often looks like short-term “failure” when you’re playing a different game, one based on trust instead of extraction.
“ If people like you, they’ll listen to you, but if they trust you, they’ll do business with you.” — Zig Ziglar
Dr. Joseph Galati has been noticing a very alarming trend growing in the last 10-15 years in America
“Physicians are not examining their patients anymore? That's like a thing of the past. When I see patients, every single patient gets in a gown and they're examined from head to toe. And patients will ask, "What are you going to do to me?" And I'll ask them, "Hasn't your other doctors been examining you?" And they're like, "No, they just sit and talk to me."”
This is mainly driven by insurance companies
- Doctors have to have quick appointments, often times 10-15 minute slots
- Testing and medications have much higher reimbursement rates so they go with those over lengthy exams
We need to kick big money out of healthcare
JFK once invited to dinner 49 Nobel laureates, Robert Frost, William Styron, Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, Katherine Anne Porter, John Dos Passos, James Farrell and Lionel and Diana Trilling, and others. His line on the occasion became famous: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
Some of you were alive when that happened.
@Cozzymodo@JFreshHockey@johnwhitel60468 I could see that happening. Independently, what I'd like to see happen in the next CBA is that teams have the ability to move off of bad contracts more easily. Part of the reason these rebuilds take forever is due to dead $$.
@Cozzymodo@JFreshHockey@johnwhitel60468 Partly, but more so in that the money became an issue in 2020/21, and players began to truly appreciate just how much more of their money they'd keep in those tax-free states.

We were absolutely floored by the millions of you that watched us make silly water sillouettes on our driveway last summer. We are starting out the summer the only way we know how, and this time it’s all about movies! What else do you want to see? We have a whole summer ahead, a driveway and a hose. The possibilities are endless!!!
