Aaron Martinez, who I can barely hear over that shirt, says, “If you’re a B2B salesperson making less than $200,000 a year, I wanna share with you this quote by Warren Buffett that literally changed everything for me as a salesperson.”
I would rather have a lisp and say pleathe than hear another Buffett-ism, but go on.
“It blew my mind when I actually made this realization. And it’s exactly what took me from being in a dead-end sales gig, making $50 grand a year, not fulfilled in selling what I was selling…”
“… all the way to making more than a doctor in just 12-months’ time of making this one realization,” Aaron continues.
“So here’s the quote. ‘It’s not how hard that you row, but it’s far more important the boat that you’re in.'”
Yep, Aaron was right. There goes my mind as well. Blown to smithereens.
“And what Warren actually means by this quote is that the industry that you’re selling for is so much more important than your actual skillsets as a salesperson.”
“And when I heard this, I knew I was in the wrong industry. I was selling the wrong thing. Because I wasn’t actually interested in it. And I immediately had to go on a search.”
“And that’s when I actually met my business partner, Cole Gordon. And he introduced me to this $3.2 billion dollar industry that I could sell for,” Aaron says.
E-learning, as you might’ve guessed.
Aaron became a “remote closer” for gurus with high-ticket programs and, just like that, hit the gas and left the past in the dust. He would go on to make multiple six figures before partnering with Cole.
Their Remote Gig Acceleration program has a few advantages over starting your own business.
For starters, there’s almost no competition. Whereas, if you think about Amazon FBA, drop-shipping, affiliate marketing, selling on Etsy, blogging, et cetera, all of those so-called side hustles have been around since burning CDs was cool beans.
Ya know?
There’s a bazillion gurus selling a bazillion courses on each of ’em – and they all have hundreds or even thousands of students – so do the math.
Can you say saturation?
Second, there’s less expenses. You don’t have to invest in inventory or software or tools or a shiny new website. You don’t have to take out a second mortgage to drive traffic.
With remote closing, you’re partnering with existing businesses who already have all that stuff in place.
You just need your cell phone, which you’re already paying for anyways.
Pretty sweet, huh?
With this, you don’t have to come out of pocket at all, yet the potential is there to make $5-, $10-, $20-, $50,000 a month setting appointments and closing deals.
Third, y’ain’t gotta wear all the hats like you would if you were the business owner.
Something Aaron knows all about.
You see, before his big Buffett breakthrough, he tried his hand at running a social media marketing agency. Did okay. Got it to $80k a month at one point. (Aaron’s cut was only $4k after expenses and labor.) And he had to be good at marketing, sales, fulfillment, support, billing, accounting – literally everything.
It was a lot. It was stressful. He probably would’ve been better off having a job.
Not the case with remote closing.
Last but not least, fourth, is flexibility. Work wherever you are that day. Home, Starbucks, at the airport before you hop on a plane to Cabo, at the hotel in Cabo, before you head down to the pool to inhale chips ‘n’ guac, shrimp tacos, and a bucket of sweaty beers with limes.
You got options.
In a perfect world, maybe you take a grand total of one call for the day, spend 45-minutes on the phone with someone, sell ’em a $10k program, collect a $1,500 commission, then go play.
That’s the dream Aaron and Cole are selling. You buyin’?
