He compares rehearsing sales scripts to Spartan warrior training: sweat in practice means less bleeding in battle. Agents who drill these conversations develop certainty that eliminates buyer resistance and closes deals.

practicing and role-playing these conversations every single day. These are choreographed conversations. It's not just like rote memory or repetition of a script. It is leading a choreographed conversation. And the way you do that is you have to practice. The legendary Spartan warriors had a saying, and they said, he who sweats more in training bleeds less in battle. And they knew that the secret to winning the war, to winning the battle, was not how brave they were. It was not how hard they fought. It was that they knew that they had the skills and the technique mastered to be able to win the battle. And that's what you're doing. You have to have the skills and the expertise and the courage to be able to inevitably lead them to a yes and neck. Every rep, every time you role play, every time you actually talk to somebody, You get better, you get stronger, you get competence, and you get confidence. And that certainty, more than anything else, is what will eliminate the resistance and create that magnetic attraction that you want people to feel.
