Often in successful people are like, yeah, I've got no problem selling people. Like, I'm a really good salesperson. And they're just selling, like, their friends and family and people they know what. That's super easy to do. It's really hard to sell a stranger off the street. It's not like a true representation of how good you are as a salesperson if you're just selling everyone that loves you.
