Helping Sellers Win The Mental Game - Stress Less, Sell More

Sellers are the corporate athletes of the business world and I've trained +10,000 of them in ways to succeed in sales and hit quota - without sacrificing their health 🧠 📈

Why is this my passion?

Look around at the sales industry today and you'll see some troubling statistics from the State Of Mental Health In Sales Report:

- 82% of sellers are stressed or highly stressed.
- 70% of sellers are struggling with their mental health.
- 70% of sellers are experiencing fatigue.
- 69% of sellers have trouble sleeping.

And according to Gartner in 2024, 89% of sellers are experiencing burnout, with 54% actively looking for a new job. 😥

If you work in sales - then you're likely not surprised by these numbers as you feel the stress, pressure, fatigue, lack of sleep and burnout weighing you down as you read this sentence.

Sales is primarily a mental game - but the vast majority of us are failing. 📉

With that in mind...

If you've been feeling off your game recently.
Haven't felt yourself.
Irritable.
Have had trouble sleeping.
Feeling cynical towards work.
Drinking more than you should.
Trending towards a PIP.

Or simply want to learn how to close more revenue without feeling like everyday is a grind...

Then I'm here to help. 💪

Check out Project Mamba.

It is a private mental performance community and program to help you beat burnout, build mental resilience and hit quota with less stress.

TESTIMONIALS: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kyle Norton, CRO - Owner.com
