The best marketers all know how to sell. They’ve been in the trenches. They’ve carried a quota. They’ve closed deals. Why? Because if you want to know how to persuade the masses? You first have to know how to persuade one person. Learning it the other way around? Doesn't work as well. Want to become a master marketer? The place to start is actually selling. One on one. Face to face.

Your biggest expense is the income you’re not earning. The deals you’re not closing. The commissions you’re not banking. The accelerators you’re not triggering. Yet you see salespeople: Negotiate hard on their rent but not their deals. Build points more than they build pipeline. Research hotel prices but not prospects. You didn’t get into sales to play small. You could have done that with a career in accounting. You got into sales to earn a dream income. → For yourself → For your kids → For your spouse → For whoever you love But here’s the double edged sword of Sales: If you master your craft? Sales is the most financially rewarding job. If you don’t master your craft? Sales is the most financially punishing job. I spent years getting punished in sales until I realized: I needed new skills. I needed expert training. I needed proven playbooks. That led to a path of mastery. Mastering sales has helped me: • earn a seven figure a year W2 • build an 8-figure business as an entrepreneur • live a life in Newport Beach, CA on my own terms And I’ve done it all using proven playbooks. The same ones 12,000 students & 250 companies use. Want to stop “penny pinching” and start earning? Join them here: https://lnkd.in/g5fsZNDk You can earn new skills with time.

For those looking to break into tech sales: I see too many people like you doing jobs they hate. Working for bosses they don’t like. Burnt out and working long hours. Stressed & scraping by financially. Why? Because they don’t know how to break into tech. Here’s how to break in and make six-figures: • Network your way in, don’t apply • Write a resume that sells like hell • Interview like you're a tech insider • Master skills in advance to 'derisk' The good news? Anyone can do this: People with teaching backgrounds. People with non tech sales jobs. People just graduating college. People who didn't go to college. The income you want is on the other side of new skills. Ready to break into tech and earn six-figures? → No more trading time for money → No more Sunday night dread → No more stress about bills → No more “what if” regrets 12,000 people are already earning what they're worth.

Sales is arguably the worst career you can choose if you have an external locus of control.

Assumptions kill enterprise deals.

I learned what separates salespeople who earn $611,000 a year 15 years ago: It’s not their education. It’s not their personality. It’s not even how they sell. It’s three words: “Speed of implementation.” 15 years ago, a mentor told me a strange story: “Back in the early 90s,” he started. “A university did a study.” He went on: “They wanted to know the habits of salespeople who make $250,000.” (Equivalent of $611,000 in today’s dollars). What he said next hit me: “They couldn’t find any common habits: → Their all had different personalities → They all had different approaches → They all had different educations … Except for ONE habit they all had.” The three words he said next altered my life: “Speed of implementation.” They reduce the delta of time between: → Learning something new → Putting it into action Top earners all used what they learned, fast. Learn → Act → Learn → Act → Learn → Act Sellers who never cracked $250,000? Their habits looked different. They’d either spend no time learning. Or they’d take forever to do anything with what they learn. They’d think about it. They’d argue with themselves: “might not work for me.” Then, a week later: They’d try it for the first time. Feebly. Meanwhile: The salespeople who earned more than $250,000? They’ve lapped you 10x by the time you’ve tried it once. The income you want is on the other side of new skills. Ready to earn an income that sets you free? → No more missing your number → No more watching others win → No more Sunday night dread → No more getting ghosted 12,000 salespeople have already earned more.

Salespeople: If you're struggling with a career move and you're under 35? Do what maxes out your learning 1st, earning 2nd. I'm routinely asked by 20-something AEs about career decisions. It usually comes down to this: 1. Take job A and make tons of $. 2. Take job B and learn like crazy. Easy answer. Now, ideally you want both. Those exist - these aren't mutually exclusive. But if you're under 35 (maybe even 40)? You will thank yourself for building your earning capacity first. Because when you get into your 30s, 40s, and beyond? You will have a permanent "asset" that produces huge income on command. Learn in your 20s. Earn in your 30s. (oh, and still keep learning :)

I left college my senior year. Had my first child at age 22. Struggled with panic attacks. Turns out, none of those things can stop you. Especially if Sales is your career. What you need is three things: → Work hard → Learn hard → Take risks The best boss I ever worked for? He told me this: “Everything you want is on the other side of skill acquisition.” He now runs revenue for a $128 billion company. (Yes, "billion" with a "b"). That’s the secret. Keep learning. Build your skills. Master your craft. I’ve bet my entire career on doing this. I read 500 books in a 10 year period. What kind of dividends does that pay today? Untold. The 7-figure W2 is the least interesting of them. What if I told you you: → You're not years away from what you want. → You're skills away from what you want. 12,000+ sellers have earned the best W2 of their life without: • An Ivy Lee degree • 80-hour weeks • A rich uncle They learn like others won’t. So they can live like others can’t. The result? Paychecks that make their family’s jaw drop. Ready to master your craft and vastly exceed your OTE?
