In this brief spoken advice clip, the speaker emphasizes a simple, often overlooked habit: spending just five minutes researching a person or business before a call. The speaker argues that because most people skip this step, even minimal preparation makes you appear highly competent and knowledgeable. This perceived diligence can lead to stronger outcomes and financial gains, as the effort stands out against the general laziness of others.

This one is so unsexy, and because it's so unsexy, no one does it, which is why you make so much money doing this. Prep for 5 minutes before the call, looking up stuff about the person or the business. You would be amazed at how much of a genius you look like with 5 minutes of prep. People are like, wow, this guy really did his homework. And it's not because you really did that much homework. It's just because everyone else is so lazy that any level of effort looks amazing.
