TRIVIA ANSWER

The answer is B) Create offers that are so good customers feel stupid saying no.

In his book "$100M Offers: How to Make Offers So Good People Feel Stupid Saying No," Alex Hormozi talks about the importance of making offers that customers find hard to refuse. Instead of using typical sales techniques, he suggests focusing on how a product or service can improve a customer's life or business. Hormozi shares different examples of how businesses can turn their products into attractive deals that appeal to their customers. 

By combining products, providing unique guarantees, and highlighting benefits instead of just features, his strategies have been successful in increasing customer interest and sales.

That’s a wrap!
