Any type of sales, you should be handing out 500 to 1000 cards a month. I know that's old-school, but you've got to let people know what you do. You have to be excited. First, if you're not excited about it, don't do it. Get out of it. Go find something you'll get excited about. Because you have to be really excited about the business that you're in, particularly in sales. Because it comes through. - Lou Vickery

If I had one advice, I'd say, "Quote 'em high and ask 'em to buy." - Lou Vickery

Selling is asking. - Jason Will

You can't steal second base with one foot on first. - Lou Vickery

Jumping up and down, hollering and screaming, creating excitement is one thing. But when you got controlled excitement where you got a game plan to get to the next level. - Lou Vickery

If you've got the right attitude, and you got the right skill set, and you know your product, what in the world is to keep you from asking for the sale? - Lou Vickery

It takes 65 muscles to frown; it takes only 12 to smile. Why work overtime? - Lou Vickery

We strive for perfection, and we settle for excellence. - Lou Vickery

I'm a super believer in being a believer. - Lou Vickery
