So why not utilize it in a way to, again, personalize yourself and stand out where people know my name, they know my voice, they know my face. I'm not just a flat screen to them. I'm three-dimensional. and then pull a lot of energy behind what I'm talking about. And they can see the enthusiasm that I have about the opportunity and transfer it to them.

Yeah. So I was a sales rep. I did call on these people and I did have interactions with the people that I recruit. And I understand how that train works together. So I understand if the economic story doesn't work, then you can't have access. If you can't have access, then you have a more challenging marketing story. If you have a challenging marketing story, the sales rep can't do their job.
