How to Attract What You Want w/ Jodie Cook | Ep 440

How to Close Clients as the Underdog w/ Chris Do | Ep 439
In this episode Chris breaks down one of the most studied sales moments in sports history: how Nike's Sonny Vaccaro walked into a room as the clear underdog and walked out with Michael Jordan's signature.
