In their own words
In B2B advertising sales, pitching ROI does not close seven-figure deals; buyers are driven by trust and budget-safety logic ('spend it with me, it's safe') rather than ROI calculations.
“When I used to own a company that made money on advertising, we would close seven figure deals and they the way the buy I would thought like, oh, I just tell them that like if they spend this much, they're going to make this much money. That makes sense. I'm a business owner. It's all I give a about. And then and that pitch never worked. It was like whining and dining worked. And making them say like, you have this budget. You have to spend it. Spend it with me. It's safe.”21 Aug 2026
People only ever buy four things, time, money, sex, and approval/peace of mind, and attempting to sell anything else results in failure.
“People buy four things and four things only, ever. Those four things are time, money, sex, and approval or peace of mind. If you try to sell anything other than those four things, you will fail.”4 Aug 2026
