Sales has become obnoxiously boring, creativity has been lost, people have become less important than the products we push, and sellers live out the definition of insanity on a daily basis…

That’s why we need a Rebellion 🔥

To understand the movement of The Sales Rebellion, first you need to understand why I started it and the community it has evolved in to.

It all starts with my Dad, a sales pro for over 38 years. 

His legacy is one of integrity, perseverance, and service to others is unmatched by most people who have enjoyed working in our great profession.

In a nutshell: I spent my life in the shadow of one of the greatest men to ever walk this earth and his ability to sell also fueled his success in LIFE.

What it has to do with me?

I realized my initial calling in the technology world (selling copiers, managed IT and software) through his business and also just how much fun I could have being in a sales role.

You might have heard rumors of me... back when they called me, The Copier Warrior.

From 2007 until 2017 I worked for the same company - my Father's firm was acquired in 2012 and I stuck around until 2017, at which point I moved on from the company I had represented for my entire career in sales. 

I made this decision after my Dad’s passing (see my shared articles for the 'saddest story I have ever told' if you want to know more).

I stayed in the copier industry for 2 more years before launching my Rebellion.

Yes, that's right in 2019, The Sales Rebellion was born.

My conquest of changing the game has expanded beyond my role as an individual contributor and a VP of sales in the technology space. 

Now I am teaching the masses how to be more creative, build a lasting legacy, be a servant leader and achieve more in their sales career.

No longer will the mediocre rule throughout our profession. 

A Rebellion is rising up.

What's a Sales Rebellion?

The belief in Radically Educating your prospects through unique and creative experiences.

A belief in Responses, good or bad, but never indifferent.

A belief that your Territory is your Community. 

A belief your Pipeline is Alive.

A belief that people are more than just a signature for your deal.

A belief in fellowship over negotiations.

No matter your title... Salesperson, SDR, BDR, Account Executive, Inside Sales, Outside Sales, VP of Sales, Sales Manager, Senior Solutions Growth Architect Specialist 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ - this Rebellion was built for you.

I’m completely changing the Sales Rebellion.

I believe sales has changed beyond recognition and no one is doing anything to keep up, THE RIGHT WAY.

Instead we’ve got:

-AI everything
-Do more of every activity
-New one-liners for shock value
-Division unlike anything we’ve ever seen

So here’s what I’m doing:

👉🏻 Rebel as a Service - our team will get the attention of your most hard to reach prospects or even help get the attention of your TAM, one by one. We will do this using direct mail and curated experiences. With the option to use us for follow-up and continual nurturing.

👉🏻 Covenant - this will be the ultimate Rebellion for individual sellers. Monthly mail to your home or office, challenges, gamification, virtual access to LIVE learning sessions and Creative Workshops for building your tools. Access to the network of Rebels we’ve attracted all leading back to Totality every year. You’ll also get access to all the Rebel Arcade and additional courses. Think of this as learning on your timeline and as you go. We meet you where you are.

👉🏻 Online small group outbound Squadron - you and 5 other Rebels will get boxes in the mail with crumpled letters, coffee stain letters, etc… and we will help you prospect directly into your territory to set more appointments.

👉🏻 Rebel Advisory - you, me, assistant Rebel Coach, outbound fulfillment, and a whole lot of Rebellion. This is the most intimate you can get, you work directly with me and I take you to the next level of Rebellion along with the team.

The purchase page for Covensnt goes live in just a few days.

Rebel as a Service is up and you can get a meeting with us right from the website.

You can sign up and pay for Squadron entry right from the website.

You can holler at me with any questions.

Long live The Rebellion.

PS…please help me blow this post up so we can continue to grow our business and change the face of sales

Email Deliverability Specialist | Outsourced Email Marketing | Consultancy

Imagine – you find the perfect gift for that special someone. 
You make sure it’s their favourite colour, with a matching gift box and ribbon.

You find the perfect label, with a message so bespoke they would know who sent it before they even read the name.

Now imagine, after all that, you give it to the courier to deliver it directly…

But it ends up in the bushes down the street.
Never to be seen again.

 
Unthinkable, right?

 
Yet this is happening to 52% of B2B emails as of November 2024:

- Tighter restrictions from the likes of Google and Microsoft.
- More sophisticated software screening and removing anything that poses a risk.
- Bad data, poor domain reputation, and inconsistent activity crippling outreach efforts.

All leading to highly researched, bespoke messages never being read by your prospects.

Fox Red Outbound was created to support businesses using email outreach as part of their go-to-market strategy. From small consultancy projects and audits to fully managed outbound campaigns as experts in getting you in front of your ideal customer.

You deserve their attention.
Outfox the competition.

This evening marks the wave of light at the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

I don’t talk about it as often as I used to, but with the arrival of our baby in March it seems poignant.

Ariana would be 11 on October 31st. She had Trisomy 18 (Edward’s Syndrone) and lived for 37 hours. 

We were extremely lucky to have met her, as only 1 in 6000 are not stillborn.

It’s not something you’re prepared for at 23, and still to this day people struggle to know what to say when we speak about her.

But once you have experienced baby loss, it’s amazing how many people you meet who have also experienced loss.

It’s so important to talk about your children, no matter how long they were with you… they’re always in your hearts.

Sending love to all bereaved parents, wherever you are ❤️

1.8M emails a month into the primary inbox | Email Deliverability Specialist | Outsourced Email Marketing

Why Fox Red Outbound?!

Absolutely nobody asked me this the other day so I thought I’d share it with you all!

We had a Fox Red Goldador called Robin, who was the inspiration behind the name. Sadly we lost her at Christmas and it hit us all hard, particularly the kids.

So, because having 2 neurospicy kids, a 7-month old, and running a business wasn’t enough chaos… 

We also added Luna to the asylum.

Gotta keep it on brand, right?!

'Email used to be amazing for recruitment.  It doesn't work anymore, though. Nobody replies...'

I don't think that's quite right...



Full disclosure: 40 leads in 2 weeks is slightly better than usual, but I'll take it.

⚡️George Trajkovski - how long till I get my Instantly plaque? 😅

They say to do a job you love and it will never feel like work…

Bro I’ve never once got excited about SPF and DKIM records but there we go. 😂

Actual client conversation:

‘I feel like pulling this campaign, we’ve not had a positive response yet’

The campaign: 400 emails sent, 4% reply rate.

My guy that’s not really a lot of emails for a first wave of testing. And a 4% reply rate shows the deliverability is there, the audience is there, but the messaging isn’t.

Time to tweak and tweak.

Can you imagine what your pipeline is going to do when you’ve found the winning formula at a 4% response rate?

Half of the fun is in the testing and figuring out of the messaging.

You don’t have to love the whole process, but if you take the rough with the smooth it’s all worth it in the end.

Also - stop wasting your own time and your teams time and let us support you outbound efforts. 

Drop me a DM if you’re considering growing your team.

3 things that dramatically affect your cold email success that you aren't aware of:


1) Does the name on the email match a real employee?

The first thing an interested prospect does when they receive your email is google the company, or search for you on linkedin.

If they can't find a matching person at the company?

You're getting ignored.


2) Does the domain you're sending from redirect to your primary domain?

More often than not, people grab the domain name (bit after the @ sign) and pop it into the URL bar. If it returns a 'URL not found', they're going to assume you're spam.

And then you get marked as spam.

And you lose.


3) You live in 2018 and you're still tracking open rates.

Open tracking = 1x1 pixel image hidden in an email. If it gets opened, it registers and your sending platform tells you it's been opened. 

This was great for gauging interest for years. And Google killed it overnight.

Now if there's a tracking pixel in an email, a big banner pops up and says 'there's a hidden image! wanna mark this as spam?!?!'

And you lose. Biggly.

The only relevant metrics are reply rates, and postive reply ratio.


How many of these 3 are you on top of?
