Nine looks left in 4 minutes works out to one glance every 28 seconds, which is exactly how fast a teleprompter scrolls.

Got the same pitch from a guy in Columbus and yeah, half of it is just him selling retainer packages. Burning $6k to find out outbound is a grind is real, referrals still close faster and cheaper for me.

Noticed the same thing with kitchen knives, where one good $40 chef knife beats a drawer full of cheap ones that never hold an edge. It seems like we talk ourselves into the cheap stuff because the upfront price feels safer, then we pay for it over and over in time and frustration. Cheap tools usually just mean you buy them twice.
