    One Meal A Day(OMAD)?

    HEALTH 
    Yep I’m also OMAD and Keto. Hard to get into, and can experience Keto flu if not monitoring electrolytes but I’ve found both ways of eating go really well together. Definitely feel less sluggish and don’t experience as much brain fog

    Is door to door selling dead?

    MARKETING 
    Depends on your market, your product and your own personal skills. My business partner runs a direct marketing company here in Australia and has 50 or so reps out selling various products everyday and him and his reps are doing really well.

    Using IndieGoGo To Launch a Health & Fitness Supplement

    EXECUTION 
    I actually really like this idea. I often am in a rush to head to the gym or come from work and would love to be able to keep a spray in my car. And if the comedown is as you describe then that would be a definite advantage. I would definitely be a customer!

    Door to door sale

    MARKETING 
    People here are making huge assumptions about door-to-door sales that I disagree with. Personally I am running a direct sales and marketing company that specializes in door sales and we have had great success with knocking on peoples doors. Obviously as said previously it varies greatly...

    Cold calling vs Cold Approaching

    What was your pitch? Also several calls isnt enough to get a good idea of how to approach your sales.

    What would you say...

    RANT 
    Although it is commonly said that college/university isn't necessary for fastlane success I definitely think early schooling is different. My opinion would be to encourage your little boy to do the best that he can and learn as much as possible throughout his school life until he is mature and...

    I Can Sell Anything..AMA

    AMA 
    Oh trust me I've tried to argue that in the past with my work haha. I'm planning on going out solo within the next few months so this will definitely help in the beginning. Do you do much cold emailing/ had much success with it in the past?

    I Can Sell Anything..AMA

    AMA 
    Awesome man thanks for the response, appreciate the effort you put into writing all that out. Im currently working in sales as well at the moment and when in an appointment I will close 80-90% of the time, but it is that initial lead generation that I struggle with so that is a huge help. I...

    I Can Sell Anything..AMA

    AMA 
    In B2B how do you break down the initial barrier with a secretary or receptionist and find the quickest possible way to talk to the decision maker? Do you have a special technique for doing so and qualifying the person over the phone so you don't waste your time.

    What's the worst you've ever had it financially?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I had a few failed businesses and lost my job and went without work for a few months. I ended up with about $17,000 in credit card debt. Things changed very quickly and am now on track to earn $6,000-7,000 per week at my new sales job. Amazing how quickly your situation can change.

    How can I quit the job?!

    HOT! 
    Not to try to compare situations with you, but just to try to show that it is possible. Im a year younger than you and quit my job out of pure hate for the job and also to open up some more free time for my business. My expenses are at least double yours, because of rent but I managed to figure...

    How do I get a Sales Job at 16 Years Old?

    But back on track with the original post. Before you can sell anything remember to sell yourself. If I can give any advice I'd say to always ask questions. I was once told the most used word is "I". That doesnt surprise me because people love talking about themselves. Once you can get someone...

    How do I get a Sales Job at 16 Years Old?

    I'd be more than happy to share details, anyone interested send me a pm. I would rather not divulge too many company information here, thanks! But with those american folk remember that 350k is not the same in australia as it is in the states, with the exchange rate and the cost of living etc.

    How do I get a Sales Job at 16 Years Old?

    This is in Australia, and we are the sales company that works for an education company. We are essentially selling a product worth around $10,000. But it's government funded

    How do I get a Sales Job at 16 Years Old?

    Yeah that would be about right around 350-400k per year. That's nothing compared to what some others in my company are doing closer to a million a year. That's the thing, if you can sell then you can make big money

    How do I get a Sales Job at 16 Years Old?

    I was in almost the exactly same position as you. I am 20 now and had no sales experience but wanted a job in the area to maximize my skills for my fastlane endeavors . Basically what it came down to for me was the interview. Obviously your resume isnt going to sell yourself too well so as soon...
