"There is no sale without the story; no knockout without the setup."
Simplified meaning
To make a sale, you need to tell a story that captures people's interest. It's like how in boxing, a knockout punch usually needs some preparation with smaller punches. For example, when someone wants to sell a car, they don't just list its features. Instead, they might share how the car made a memorable family trip possible, making it more meaningful. This story excites the buyer more than just facts and figures. In our lives, if we want to convince others or achieve a goal, setting the stage with a good story or preparation is key. Whether it's persuading a friend to join a gym or pitching a project at work, a well-thought-out setup leads to success.
