The master concept is cyclicality. Selling is repetitive: it starts, unfolds, ends and starts again. The closing moment is precisely when that cycle of follow ups, conversations and warming up meets a break in the pattern. For the members, that break is an instant hit of dopamine, the one client in a thousand who covers most of the revenue, the payoff of following the code. Treating Codax as a code was essential to build community and a deliberate sense of tribe: every salesperson follows some code, and the ones inside Codax follow the strongest one.
