In this short sales‑call excerpt, Christian Polk confronts a prospect (Speaker B) who repeatedly claims to be too busy to engage. Polk mirrors the prospect’s responsibilities, stresses that his offering is not a generic, cookie‑cutter solution, and insists that a customized package can only be designed after understanding the prospect’s specific situation. He repeatedly asks the prospect to acknowledge that lack of time and commitment is the root cause of the prospect’s problems, using a gym/meal‑plan metaphor to illustrate the need for consistent effort. Throughout, Polk pushes the prospect to be honest about their willingness to invest time, positioning himself as a supportive guide who will help once the prospect commits to the process.

What's the time? What do you mean, bro? You're on a computer.
Like, just look, I'm just a busy guy. I have responsibilities. I don't know if this is really worth my time. Just tell me your pitch.
We could talk about it, man. Like, I'm busy too. I got responsibilities, run a business, have a family. It just comes down to understand, like, what we do, it's not cookie cutter. If you wanted something that was cookie cutter and something that didn't work, like, I'll be the first one to tell you, like, hey, like, we're not for you. But ultimately, if you want something that works and is custom to you and you would actually want, I need to know what's going on. Like, wouldn't you agree with that?
Well, the flip side, I don't know if this is something I should I should even spend my time on it. Yeah, I'm running a business here.
Yeah, yeah. Like, ultimately, how are you ever gonna know if it's worth your time if I can't even understand what's going on and customize a package for you specifically?
Okay, let's, let's just say, how'd you help this other guy?
Like, him solving his problems does not solve your problems. So do you feel like maybe part of the reason why we still have these issues is because we're not actually dedicating any time to solving these things?
That's why I'm on the call right now.
There's a difference between taking a look at a gym and going in every single day with a meal plan and actually working out. Showing up to the call, that's a minimum. So be real with me, do you feel like part of the reason why we still have this issue is because we haven't actually put the time to actually solve it?
Investing? No, I haven't done that.
So it's like, how do you expect to solve a problem if you don't actually put time into it? And I appreciate you actually like admitting that, because most people won't. So it's like, ultimately, I'm here for you and I want to help you.
So are you open to actually having a conversation about it? Yeah, go ahead and continue what you're asking. Okay.
