Not Paying $10K Was Costing Me Hundreds of Thousands

The uncomfortable math behind why the most expensive decision is waiting.

In November, I paid a 20 year old $10,000 to train me in sales.

Why on earth would I do that?

Because I believe that we are never years away from our dreams… we are merely systems and skills away.

I saw the guy on instagram every day…

He was the top rep at Jeremy Miner's firm.

Making $70,000 in commissions per MONTH.

2 Porsches.
A mansion in Dominican Republic.

And t first, I was jealous.

Then I asked myself, "what is he doing differently to me?"

I booked a sales call. Showed up. Paid him the money on the call.

The wildest part was… I thought I had a great level of sales knowledge, but it showed me a level of depth to my sales calls I had no idea was even there.

- The right expert showed me the gaps in my method.
- He also helped me to look around corners I didn't know were there.
- And he kept me accountable to do the work and actually implement the systems.

Not paying that $10k was literally costing me $100,000s of dollars worth of business.

And since hiring that coach, I improved my close rate from 30% to 50%.

And there's a lesson in here for a specific type of operator.

The ones who already know referrals won't scale them.

The ones who've already invested in coaches, consultants, masterminds.

The ones who move fast when they see the right thing because they've learned that waiting is the most expensive decision you can make.

You don't need convincing that investing in yourself works. You've lived it.

What you're looking for is the right unlock for this specific problem.

Because you already know one right system, one right expert, one right channel can compress years of trial and error into 90 days.

That's exactly what LinkedIn did for my business.

And it's what it's doing for the agency owners I work with right now.

If that's you, my DMs are open.

Let's crush it.
