Sales training will never go away because there's always someone who can posture themselves as better than you at sales, hence why you should learn from them
This is why I think sales training is a losing game
There is quite literally a 10x higher likelihood that your remote setting or closing job falls apart if you're joining a team that hasn't hit the exact numbers they're advertising yet
Might be 100x, not joking
Hey guys, high-ticket sales is dead
The version that the 18yo kids sold you after their first $10,000 month and no real-life experience
The version that promises you guaranteed job income from some super exclusive connection that you can unlock just by paying somebody
The version that promotes this as anything but a job that takes your time and effort
The version that categorizes this only as info and “courses”
It died when they switched to selling AI biz ops
Now the only thing left is 1099 WFH sales jobs that take your time and still pay a lot
So sad…
Holy wins
Pic 1: closed biggest deal 3rd day into his new offer, $1,600 comms from an inbound call
Pic 2: d2d solar legend joins a team where we have a member doing $50k/mo. Second deal closed, $1,200 for him
Pic 3: 1/1 interviews/offers with a decent team
Pic 4: d2d roofing sales guy is at $11k in comms his first month as an appt setter
Everybody else doing what we do has come and gone
We’re really the best at this point
If you have a history of getting what you want out of your life, you would love sales
Especially 1099 commission-only sales
If you do not, maybe stay away
Offer hopping is only justifiably frowned upon if you basically gave up on yourself and an offer that was proven to work
If a business owner misrepresents a role to attract a higher level of talent, and that person leaves after realizing the role isn’t what they thought it was, there’s no shame in that in my eyes
You shouldn't be concerned with managing your reputation with a connection that's not worth anything
You should be concerned with getting paid
If you’re trying to break into remote setting/closing work, you need to talk about your past sales performance in mutually understood terms
The three I always recommend are 1) your ranking on the sales team 2) quota/KPI attainment, and 3) your performance compared to industry averages
If you’re coming from selling couches and you tell me you sold $48,000 in 6 months I have no idea if that makes you the best couch salesman ever or it’s the reason you were let go and you’re on the hunt for new work
