"Not offering this kind of guarantee means that they do not believe in their product enough, and they do not care about if a salesman is over promising or over selling their product"
About this Quote
The subtext is a two-pronged accusation. First, a company without a guarantee lacks conviction: if you believed your product delivered, you’d be eager to shoulder the risk. Second, management is indifferent to the human machinery of sales: the incentives that push reps to oversell and then disappear behind fine print. Lesko’s line implies that guarantees aren’t only consumer-friendly; they’re an internal discipline, a way to force marketing, product, and sales to align with reality.
Context matters here: Lesko’s brand is empowerment through hustle, rebates, and “free money” pathways, an arena crowded with dubious offers and breathless promises. In that marketplace, a guarantee becomes a theatrical prop that signals legitimacy fast. He’s also smuggling in a populist critique: corporations privatize upside and socialize downside onto customers. By demanding a guarantee, he flips the script, insisting that the people with the loudest claims should carry the heaviest risk.
