In their words

What was actually said

And when they hit that 5% that are actually in the buying window, if they spent hours and hours and hours with you and received a lot of value and benefit from spending time with you, are they going to choose you or are they going to choose the one that is like screaming at them and interrupting them and following them around the internet like a disease or something?
