They didn't get distracted by phones, the internet, or multitasking. When you sat in front of your computer, you could only do one thing at a time on it, and you dedicated all your attention to it. You didn't have a company chat or email window popping up notifications about irrelevant stuff, you didn't get the urge to look up random things on Wikipedia, etc. You probably also got to sit in a small room without a lot of distractions too, instead of sitting in a huge open-office area next to the sales group.
