Guys idek how but here I sit on the first day of May having moved $8.4M in product.
Sold in this case = hand to hand. All of it has either been pre-paid or 50% up front with rest paid later (something about a vig? idk how it works). 60% of it already delivered with customer satisfaction confirmed.
I started February 10th. Zero experience. I was calling Xanax "the bar things." (What an idiot)
Previously I was in tech for 7 months. Intern (unpaid), BDR (PIP-ed).
I quit because I was bored. Selling software to people who would schedule a demo and then simply cease to exist as a person.
In one month I’d typically make $700-800 at old job. This month I made $6.8M (after paying off police force, local judges, etc.) and it's honestly just silly.
The last year I kept saying: if I can sell well, why not sell something people actually NEED once I get them addicted to it.
Something recession proof.
Something with repeat customers.
Something where nobody ever says "we're going in a different direction."
All I can think is god damnit I wasted so much time being loyal to a SaaS startup with a ping pong table. I was employee number 4. I got a hoodie. That was my compensation. A hoodie.
Stop selling "wants."
Sell "needs."
