We can often feel tempted to use the word 'but' when relaying bad news or disagreeing with someone which can backfire and hamper conversations. Fortunately, there is a better way. Josh and Mitchell talk about the concept of replacing the word 'but' with 'and' to transform our conversations. They reveal the advantages of adopting this approach and the best way to apply it. 

Josh Jones's door-to-door (D2D) career began with a 2 year service mission for the LDS church. Shortly thereafter, he spent 3 years selling alarms and smart home tech for Vivint Inc. For nearly 4 years after that he has been selling and managing a sales team for Vivint Solar. Josh has worked in CA, AZ and CT. He has personally installed nearly 3 MW. In 2017 Josh's team installed around 5MW. The crowning achievement of his career thus far is authoring two books on sales and achieving off-the-charts success. The titles are "$300K @ 26" and "Don't Knock it Till You Knock it". A fundamental belief Josh has is, as Zig Ziglar said, "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want." Josh is always looking to surround himself with the most passionate people he can find because as John C. Maxwell said, "One person with passion is greater than 99 with only an interest. Passion gives you energy." Connect to Josh Jones on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/josh-jones-2b65a8b7
