I'd do well because of my personality and authenticity.

Personally, honesty and authenticity goes a LONG way in business, personal, and just about every area of life.

If someone randomly reached out to you and said I get deals etc etc you might be skeptical but if they had a current deal in the area, you would most likely feel they are more authentic and that they actually have deals (in other words, you are not wasting time talking to them).
