[3:09] “I've sold from door knocking, face-to-face, from the stage, on the phone, through text message, social media, video, webinars… I'd be selling in holographs if they'll let me. I’ll sell in virtual reality when the time's right."

[3:26] Has never had a salary job.

[3:51] "Everything about me that you hear today is gonna be from experience, not theory."

[9:40] "If you do it correctly, especially in the way you teach, Joel...that thing works!"

[10:27] “I hear this time and time again...'oh, my audience isn't going to sit through a webinar’. I would challenge you not to think that because it's just an objection that you have of why you don't want to sit down and build a presentation."

[11:02] Ryan poses a question to the webinar skeptics.

[12:21] Is it more difficult to sell via webinars vs. in-person? Ryan shares his answer and breaks down the “why”.

 [15:20] "When it comes to doing a webinar, I treat it as if it's like a room full of people and I'm center stage. I treat it like it's gotta be my show."

[15:56] Ryan earned his nickname as "The Hardcore Closer" because of his ability to handle objections up front.

[16:27] "One thing that you said earlier - which is of paramount importance if you're gonna sell anything is - I know who my audience is."

[18:46] Ryan's presentation is based around the results of what his audience wants.

[19:30] Handling objections during the main part of your presentation is important. They need to be sold before they get to the offer.

[21:11] "We don't sell mortgages, well sell the American dream of homeownership."

[24:20] "Even our haters are like 'you know what man...I don't like that guy but his sh*ts good."
