From Duck Eggs to $135M in Pipeline: The Unorthodox Path of Someone Who Was "Bad at Sales"

How I escaped the rat race 20-27:

- I sold duck eggs off a farm as a kid and thought I was a salesman
- I DJ'd part-time around Europe for 5 years and called it a career
- I cold-dialled my way through tech recruitment, SaaS and adtech
- I had a boss tell me "sales isn't for you", then got fired a month later
- I joined a LinkedIn podcast agency and started a ghostwriting business in the evenings
- I wrote the plan on a napkin and signed my first CEO client for $500/mo from a cold message
- I got caught. Boss offered $5k to kill it. I quit the job instead.
- A CEO based in Medellín saw my posts and hired me to run sales at his c*nnabis SEO agency
- hit 160% of quota and they doubled it
- Then I walked

How I built my first business at 28:

- I stopped trying to fit the mould and studied the top 1% of sales performers
- I bought a one-way ticket to Medellín
- I started posting on LinkedIn every day and I wasn't any good
- I went from 0 to 25,000 followers in 12 months
- I signed my first clients without sending a single cold email
- I built frameworks for founder-led demand that actually converted
- I hit my first $10k months on inbound alone
- I secured funding from a Nasdaq-listed group off the back of organic content

How I'm scaling my GTM agency at 31:

- I'm booking 30-40 meetings a month from one LinkedIn profile
- I'm closing 50% of $12k deals with people already in my world
- I'm driven $135M in pipeline across 100+ founder-led brands
-I'm helping founder-led agencies build the same engine in 90 days
- I'm targeting $1.25M+ with the agency this year, with LinkedIn as the engine

At every stage I had doubts I'd make it.
New levels, new devils.
