It was Monday morning, 11 AM when I went to my boss and said, “I’m sorry, this job, sales...it’s not for me” and I left.

That was 13+ years ago.

At 22 years old I landed my first real job fresh out of college ready to be a “career person.”

I crushed the interview.

But when I came into work for my first day at 10am, I quickly realized that I was scared sh**less of sales, and quit within the first hour.

For the next 3 years, I had PTSD and avoided sales like the plague.

I played it safe and stayed in my comfort zone.

No sales-related stuff whatsoever.

I lost my confidence and ambition. 

I missed career opportunities and wasted away my early 20s.

Fast forward to present day:

I'm a former 2X VP of Sales who took 1 startup from $0 ARR to ≈ $10M ARR in 4 years, and another from $1.5M to ≈ $4.6M ARR in 18 months.

I now teaching SMB AEs and teams how to be top sellers, make higher 6-figures, and get promoted through repeatable systems and playbooks.

An AE in Australia reached out after finding me through organic search.

He's been at his company 11 months.

$1M quota. Sitting at $200K. Final quarter just started.

"I'm having maybe one discovery call every two weeks. Nothing is sticking. It's demotivating."

I asked him: "What channels are you using?"

Him: "LinkedIn and email mostly. Not a lot of cold calling to be completely 
transparent."

Me: "Why not cold calling?"

Him: "It's a grind. I just haven't made the effort."

Here's what I showed him:

He's stuck in a never-ending loop.

The loop looks like this:

No pipeline in dashboard
↓ 
Thinking, "This is too hard" 
↓ 
Frustration and hopelessness
↓ 
Avoiding cold calls and disengaging
↓ 
No pipeline

Then his brain says: "See? I told you it was hard."

The loop repeats.

Every time he doesn't see results, it reinforces the belief that it's hard.

That belief triggers frustration, doubt, and questioning if he should be in sales.

That frustration leads to disengagement.

That disengagement creates no pipeline.

Which proves he was "right" that it's hard.

It’s a mental hamster wheel.

The problem:

Most sellers think they just need to change their behavior.

"I'll just cold call more."
"I'll block my calendar better."

But they're still carrying the same beliefs about the work.

When you believe "this is hard" and feel "hopeless," even if you force yourself 
to take action, the results won't be consistent.

You're doing it from a place of scarcity.

After showing him this, he said:

"Damn. This is exactly what's happening to me."

The reality:

You can't break the loop by just working harder.

You need to interrupt it at the source.

Most AEs never figure this out.

They stay stuck wondering why nothing changes.

CRO @ Time Doctor

I’ve spent the last decade of my life in sales. In those 10 years, I’ve been able to grow revenues by upwards of 300%. Build sales teams from scratch. Develop partnerships from zero to many, that are responsible for 25% of total revenue. 

I’ve sold everything from door to door printers, insurance, toilets, to enterprise software into the C Suite. I’ve run sales teams of 100 reps and been the head of sales for a team of 1. I’ve had just about every possible title in sales. 

Was able to scale a Saas business to an acquisition of $350 million in 3.5 years

I don’t believe there is one answer for everything, or one company is the same as another. Everything we must do for growth, requires something unique. 

What I enjoy in business: 
--Scale, develop, and or optimize top down sales programs
--Define partner programs and coach companies to scale
--Help you find your internal leader to help expand your influence. 

I love developing people and processes. People first, process second.
