On this episode of the Vigilante Leverage Show, Matthew Bergvinson and Lukas Ng discuss the nuances of when to pitch and when to ask questions. They explain that it is important to do research and tailor your pitch down to three sentences, and why 70% of the conversation should be spent listening, with only 30% being spent talking.
They also talk about why asking questions such as "how" and "why" are great ways to start building trust with the other person, and why it's also important to remember that sometimes you just have to shut up and listen.
