He quit sales, then came back to earn $10,000/mo as a remote closer at 22

In this community interview, host Dylan Vergara talks with Rita, a 22‑year‑old high‑ticket remote closer who recently earned $10,006.90 USD in a single month. Rita recounts how he entered sales at 18 while in college, bootstrapped a $2,500 sales‑training program by pawn‑shop‑ing jewelry and using a small crypto investment, and balanced a rigorous schedule of classes and daily sales calls. He explains his core motivation—financial independence and creating a personal safety net—while also honoring his parents’ wish for a degree, ultimately studying marketing after switching from accounting. Rita describes a year‑long hiatus where he experimented with e‑commerce, media buying, and affiliate marketing, only to realize his natural talent lies in live conversations, prompting his return to high‑ticket closing. He highlights the power of strategic networking, community referrals, and personal branding in landing a high‑ticket offer, where he consistently ranks in the top three of a seven‑person closing team and achieved a 41% close rate. Rita walks through the mechanics of his $10K month: selecting the right offer, leveraging multiple referrals, managing a modest call load (4‑5 booked calls per day, 1‑3 live calls), and meticulous tracking of commissions. He shares two core pieces of advice for aspiring closers: (1) sales training alone isn’t enough—access to high‑quality offers is the real lever, and (2) the “grass is not greener” myth; high‑ticket sales is comparatively low‑stress and scalable. The interview concludes with a reminder that commission‑only work requires disciplined financial planning and that community involvement can generate serendipitous opportunities.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are back with another community member interview. This time around, we've got Rita. Rita is coming off a $10,000 commission month on a pretty desirable schedule, let's call it some days off, some vacation time. He's about to head out on a vacation now. And so we caught him just before, right after the haircut. So Rita, thanks for coming on.
Absolutely, man. Appreciate it.
So guys, welcome to the interview with Rita, longtime community member and longtime industry vet, got into the space in 2022. So if you want to see How this can play out over the course of about 4 years now. You're about to, you're in the right spot. I wanted to jump in here and let you know that of course nothing's ever promised, nothing's guaranteed. Nobody can make money for you. Nobody can put money in your bank account. And if you ever see a video of me guaranteeing that, it's AI, it's not real. Okay, so anyways, really good interview. Rita basically did this through college part-time, made it happen, was in the trench, quit sales, came back to sales, $10K a month and things are looking up. And it's a pretty Full circle story here. So I'm hyped to bring this to you. Let's get into it. So you've been in the space now, a little bit of a different story, but you've been in the space since 2022. You were telling me just before we started recording here how you made it happen, and I'd love to share that with the people. But you're not new to the space. You're not one of the guys who came in, joined our community, that was your first attempt, and then, you know, made $10,000 in your second month, right? Like, you've been grinding this out. You were 18 years old when you started. You were in college. I think what you have behind you is degree. So you basically did this throughout college. Like, you and I met far before you joined the community, and dude, like, you've been doing this. So for you guys watching, you're going to get a really good perspective on what it takes to do this part-time while in school, while prioritizing other things. And then when you're not in school, scaling up past $10,000 commission in a month. So let's take it back. Let's go back to the story that you were telling me a little bit. Your first, like, sales training mentorship. Let's call it, man. You basically did whatever you could to make it happen. Like, can you tell the story right there? Yeah.
So I started in sales in general in October. I think it was October 17th, 2022. And then late November is when I got more into high ticket, November of 2022. I was 18. First sales gig was commission-only cold calling SaaS. And it was like an AI SaaS for marketing. This was before ChatGPT was even, I think, publicly released. So like very, like you can imagine cold call. And I was calling plumbers in Texas actually. That was the lead list. That was the main lead list that had me dialing.
Nice.
And turns out plumbers in Texas are booked out wall to wall 'cause they have a shortage of labor. So I knew I wanted to get into closing. I didn't even really know the difference between B2B and high ticket at the time. Like the more traditional sales I was doing compared to high ticket. I just knew I need training 'cause it's gonna get me to where I wanna go quicker. I had a guy who was offering to help me for free. I told him, I'm like, honestly, I'd rather pay you because then I can like hold you accountable. He's like, no. Like, I'm like, I'll give you $1,000. He's like, it's not worth it for me. Then I'm like, okay, well, who trained you? He's offering sales training. Great, I'll go to that guy. And I saw on the form as I'm filling it out, do you have at least— it was like multiple thousand dollars or several thousand dollars. And I thought to myself, I had like $2,000 US exactly at the time. And I thought to myself, That's multiple. 2 is multiple. So yeah, I do, right?
Yeah.
I get on the call. I'm like, hey, I'm sold. $2,500 is the price. I'm like, I need to make an extra $500 USD. I am 18 with no income, no skills, no connections, literally nothing. I'm like, hey, what can I do? I go to my house and I get as much jewelry as I can find that belongs to me. Nothing crazy, some silver pieces and stuff. And I went to a pawn shop in a relatively sketchy area of town. Pawned it. Never been in pawn. That was the one and only time in my life I've ever been inside a pawn shop. Went in. I don't even know if I got scammed or not. They gave me cash. I pawned the jewelry, took the cash, went to the bank, direct deposit. Then I went home and I told my mom, and I'm like, hey, can I have $400? And she's like, what for? And I'm like, oh, like Bitcoin's gonna go up. Which is funny because Bitcoin went up like 3x 6 months after that discussion. But I was like, I think Bitcoin's gonna go up. Like, I'm, I'm like, I'm so confident. She's like, are you sure? I'm like, yeah, I'm sure. So took that money, put it into crypto, I sent this guy $2,500 in a crypto transaction. What was funny is after they told me, they're like, yeah, we were at dinner, we didn't think you were actually going to do it. We're like, yeah, this guy's not paying. But I did. And then that's what started it all. So I made it happen. Yeah.
Yeah. Why did you think, you know, getting back into this, you're newer to sales, did you genuinely believe that like, hey, the difference between me making not that much money now and making more was the skill? Or was that kind of the idea behind going into that sales training at that time?
I just knew I'm severely lacking in skill because I'm like, I have minimal confidence on the phone. I don't have control. I don't really know what I'm doing. Like, it was— that was effectively my first job. Like, I had a job before that for 2 weeks, like working at a grocery store. But I'm like, I didn't need the money at the time. So I quit. That was effectively my first job, that sales job. So like, you're 18, you know nothing. Like, you know, literally nothing. You don't know anything. I just knew like, these guys can pass their skills on to me. And although I can learn it on my own, they'll get me there quicker. So yeah.
Yeah. So you got into the space before you were in college, and you went through the 4 years?
I was actually in because I was born like later in the year. So I was— I got into college at 17. So it was actually my second year of college. I just knew I'm like, I want to start making money now. I do not want to wait later. What can I do to do that? I explored a few other business opportunities. And then I decided on sales because I'm like, okay, no overhead, no, like, I don't have to learn 10 different things. I could just learn this one thing and it'll make me money forever. That was kind of the appeal there. Yeah.
What'd you study in school?
I took marketing. I was originally in accounting, hated it. I ended up transitioning to marketing. But yeah, so when I went in, I was in my second year university and it was tough, but I was basically selling part-time for the first 2 and a half years of my like 3 years. So it's been 4 years. One of those years I left sales completely and then came back. We can talk about that later. But for the first 2 and a half years, I was effectively part-time. I even got to a point where in the first year I was in person in school and I set up my schedule where I was effectively available 7 days a week. My time off was— I made my schedule so on Tuesdays and Thursdays I had in-person classes, so I could work all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and the weekend. And then Tuesday and Thursday. I was gone for like 4 hours on Thursday and like 8 hours or 10 hours on Tuesday, but I'd still take calls Tuesday morning. But that like 8 to 10 hours at class on Tuesday, that was like my time off. And it was tough, but I'm like, this is what has to be done because I just need the reps. Eventually I got to a point I started taking a day off a week. I'd take like a Friday off or a Tuesday or something like that, and then I would just rip calls What was driving you?
You said you wanted to make money now. But like, was there anything driving you to work a tough schedule like that? Like, if you worked half the time, would you be okay? Or like, was there something you were shooting for? Like, just trying to gauge that decision, if that was just like self-inflicted because you hold yourself to a high standard, or if you actually had like a burning reason to do that to yourself?
So I had a burning reason. I wanted Financial independence is what I wanted. I wanted financial independence. That's really it. I did not want to ever have to depend on my parents or loved ones or relatives or whatever it is for money itself, but not even just money. But I also wanted to create my own avenue of opportunity. I'm like, okay, my dad's doing this, my uncle's doing this, great, they're doing good. But I don't want my success to be purely dependent on the opportunities that they can provide. I want to have something of my own so that if I ever decide to work with anybody, not just family, I know if this fails, I have this backup option that I can fall back on and life is going to be just fine. That was the real motivation, is learning this skill and mastering it was effectively like a form of a safety net, if that makes sense.
Quick break in the interview, you guys. If you've ever wanted to take all the interviews that we had and basically talk to it and talk to it like a free coach or mentorship or training or extract what's working and what's not and game plan for yourself, we have our Success Query database where every interview that we run, we upload the transcript into this thing and we teach it how to think and speak. And we only upload— I should rephrase this— we only upload interviews where people do $10,000 or more in a single month in commissions in the high-ticket setting or closing space. We have a lot of people that have done more than $10K in a month in commissions, a lot of people who are still doing more than that. But if you want a completely free resource to go and talk to this and ask it questions about your unique situation, give you advice, Hype you up. Go down below. It's one of the links in the description. TSLC Success Query Database. I think link number 2. Now back to it with Rita. Would you say that your degree was another safety net or like why do you think you stuck to pursuing that when you knew that sales could give you a lot of what you wanted already?
I did it because it was like my parents' dream in life to see their son get a degree. I initially, part of why I got into sales initially also was because I wanted to leave college. That was part of the plan, but I ended up staying in it because I'm like, okay, it means that much much to them. They sacrificed so much to raise me. I— maybe I disagree, maybe I'll agree in the future, but at that time in my life, I heavily disagreed. And I was like, I'm gonna just suck it up and do this for them because like it really is their dream in life. Even though I know— I mean, okay, build some authority on calls, right? Uh, but it's not going to make the difference between you closing a deal or not. But that was basically it, is I wanted to just make them happy and I stuck through it. But yeah, I did find a way to make it kind of work for me. I eventually found an institution in my area that would allow me to complete a lot of the classes online. So I'm like, great. Literally, I'd be hopping from sales call to class to sales call to class, then I'd finish my calls for the day, then I'd do like schoolwork in the evening, then wake up and it was like I'd have calls in between classes and doing it from my laptop made it much easier once I was able to no longer have to go in person all the time.
Sure. Okay, so you, you mentioned a time where you stepped away from sales for a bit. And I I think I recall some of what you were pursuing at that time. But you and I, you know, we originally met, I think it was probably like 2023 and we did like some one-off like call recording review. I don't even remember. It was like something super kind of lightweight. And I mean, I, I was like pretty, I remember being pretty surprised with like how thorough, like you're a young dude, but like, you know how you kind of held your own. You had like a good thing going and we hadn't talked like all too much before or after that. And then, you know, fast forward, you're over here in the community. But tell me about this sales hiatus a little bit. Like, why did you do that? And then why did you come back to sales?
Yeah, so that was a pure the grass is not always greener on the other side moment. Anybody who's in— I'll say I can't speak on sales in general. I'll say specifically high ticket. Anybody who's in high ticket right now and thinks, wow, this is so hard, you are where the easy money is. This is the easiest money you'll find. I went and did— I went and I— there was a time I was running the ads for multiple e-commerce brands. I went and I attended conferences in person for D2C, for affiliate marketing. I'm like, I want to do affiliate marketing slash e-commerce. Basically, I no longer want to be on calls. That was like my goal. How can I make money and not be on calls anymore?
Yeah.
And I'm so grateful I went through, because from a sales Career perspective, that technically held me back. But also I would not have the tunnel vision I have now and the laser focus if I hadn't done it, because then I would have constantly been thinking, well, what if, what if, what if? So I actually went and did it, realized, oh, this maybe wasn't the smartest move. And then I went back. So that was for 2023, full-time sales. 2024, I was still selling, but my mind wasn't in it. My mind was on, let me do these little side projects in between my calls to eventually leave sales. Looking back, I think was maybe a little bit foolish to think I could just do this for a year or two and then bounce. No, like you gotta commit and you will get the fruits of, you know, your labor. Then 2024, I was like, literally, I was basically a full-time media buyer slash creative strategist for even a period of that time. And then I realized, I'm just like, this is not for me. My natural abilities actually lie in communicating with people, talking. That's where my strengths are, are at. And I was looking at my competition in the D2C e-com affiliate space and I'm like, these guys are naturally more suited for this type of work. Like, they're willing to sit there in their dark room for 18 hours a day and just read sales— or not sales, yeah, yeah, copy all day, every day. And like, that's it. And just make ads all day. And I'm like, I hustle, I work hard, but I'm also like, wouldn't it make more sense to put my effort where my natural talent is and then do that? The other thing is, I kind of learned this from seeing your journey as well and some of the other people I know, There's like, you know, they say like the only way out is through. A lot of the time, if you level up enough in the sales game, from what I've seen, you actually get to a point where you're no longer hopping on calls all the time, or sales calls specifically, because now you're managing the guys who are hopping on the calls, or you are running the trainings for the guys who are hopping on the calls to go do it. There's many different avenues you can take, and that's kind of why I now have 100% full laser focus on sales. There's pretty much no opportunity anyone could present me with Outside of the high-ticket space that I would consider.
Yeah. I mean, hopefully you guys listening to this can tell just kind of the wisdom that he's— this, uh, this guy speaks with here. I mean, he— are you 22 or 23?
22.
Okay, so he's 22. He takes ownership, accountability over all these things, which is a good trait. But I, you know, the whole grass is greener thing is definitely something that pops up a lot in the high-ticket space, comparing it to other sales jobs. You know, like a lot of people are afraid of the high-ticket space because it's commission only or because you don't have a base pay, whatever it might be. It's like, dude, your job security is your skill and your network. It's not a base pay, because that can be rugged from you fast. Like, you could be doing everything right, still rugged from you, you know. So like, at the end of the day, man, like, you've heard all these successful people say it, like, knowing how to sell, having something to sell, it's pretty hard to not eat, not have food on the table. And I always like to bring that up whenever it feels right, because a lot of people are afraid of this with Because of the job security. It's like, dude, there's really no such thing.
You create your own job security. No, truly, like, it's a little bit different for me because I've been used to this kind of contractor-ish work since I effectively started working. I'm now in approximately— not too long, actually, maybe in like 6 months' time— so I'm probably gonna get a mortgage. Very like, like, well, not probably, I am. I'm gonna be married in summer next year. So I got some big responsibilities coming my way now. And it's like, I actually need to build a life on top of this vehicle. But what is giving me the confidence to move forward doing this is my skill set and my network, realistically.
Yeah.
Because I see guys that are like, well, I would rather have that paycheck guaranteed. I'm now at a point where the concept of being capped in my commissions in any way, shape, or form, I'm like, I would never take that job. Like, I would— if I ever did go work an in-person sales role, I'm thinking I might actually tell them to reduce the base, if not eliminate it entirely, and increase my commission, because I know that'll allow me to make way more money because I know what I can do.
And at a certain point too, it's like, okay, well, you might not hit 100% of the time on an opportunity like that, but you know that opportunity is out there and it's just a matter of you getting into it. Which is why, you know, that's part of the reason why I jumped from roofing over to this space too, is like I was already commission only. It's like I already had proven that I could make a lot of money commission only. So now it's just let me do it in a, in a different vehicle. I think that's a big hunch that people struggle to get over is the commission only stuff, which like there's pros and cons, right? If you got family that counts on you and you can't afford downtime and bills are tight, like, sure, it's harder. Yeah, for sure.
Well, I mean, you got to have— dude, you got to be financially responsible. That is one thing I see a lot of closers that are very good and make good money, but they do spend a lot and then they end up in those tight positions. If you have good financial planning, you're always sitting on a 6-month emergency fund, you know, provided you've like— you have access to the tools and the resources you need, and then you build that up. Okay, great. I have 6 months or a year or even 3 months to figure it out. If this doesn't work, that's more than enough time, you know, but you have to definitely have that as well. You're having more freedom, but then that comes with more responsibility is the best way it can be put.
Yeah. Let's talk about this $10K month a little bit. So you joined into the community, it was either late last year or early this year. It was like right around—
It was December 2025.
Okay. And I mean, we're recording this in August, so some time has passed. You've had some good months. You put, you made a post, we'll pop it up on the screen. I mean, you've had a handful of months where you were just like really close to the $10K and didn't quite break it.
I know, dude. I know.
And now, you know, we're recording this because you've broken it. But let's talk about finding the offer, landing on the offer, making it yours, maximize. I don't know how you rank in terms of the team on there, but, you know, if someone is in your shoes right now and they're like, I'm the guy that's capable, I need a $10K per month vehicle. Walk us through the steps that you took to turn a cold application into $10K in your pocket in a month.
I love this question. One thing about me in many areas of my life, I'm a big believer in pulling every single lever that is available to me to get what I want, no matter how small. So this offer, I was working with some friends of mine in the space as a part-time, actually a part-time sales recruiter. The very first offer that came across my plate, I'm sitting there thinking, well, I should take this. Now, at the time though, at least on paper, I was underqualified based on what they were looking for, based on everything. But I knew, I'm like, this is the best next step for me. So I was in the community at that point. I was following the, the, the process that Dylan has laid out. I told him, I'm like, hey man, I have this opportunity. And because, you know, you got a good lay of the land and the client success team has an amazing lay of the land, they're able to tell me like, yep, we know who the marketer is. Yep. We know who the team is. We know all these different things about the team. So here's some info that You can get into these discussions with them. And I'm like, oh, great. Then on top of that, Dylan put in a good word for me with the offer owner because we have a relationship built up and he trusts me. And then there's also another thing that I did was every single contact that I have in the industry, I hit up to then message the main guy on that offer and say, hey, you should hire this guy. So if you add it all up, it ended up being like, I think like 5 or 6 different people unrelated messaging this dude like, hey, you need to hire this guy. But that didn't come overnight. That came from— I've been to sales meetups in person. I've had a little bit of a personal brand in the past. I'll message. People like to dunk on networking and be like, yeah, it's just, it's all hot air. It really isn't if you do it the right way. If you are making meaningful connections and you're actually delivering value to people and you're just somebody who is Presenting as you are worth networking with, it will come to you. And that was some of the levers that I pulled there. Now, when I got on the offer, it was about a team of 7 closers. I ranked consistently top 3 out of a team of 7 since I've been on the offer. I've never once come in 4th place. It's at worst been top 3, otherwise top 1 or top 2. And it was pretty refreshing because they were very hesitant about hiring me, but obviously that's now changed.
Yeah, I think a lot of people hate on the networking thing just because there's a stigma around it. But a lot of people expect to network with like very low-level accessible people and they want a direct ROI out of that. It's like a recipe to be convinced that networking is stupid. I understand that. But like, if you pay to get into rooms or you're like, you were talking before we started recording about, hey, just by being on this team, I've got access to people that are now in my Rolodex. Should a rainy day come up down the road, like I could reach out to these people and they'd be like, yeah, Rita crushes it. He's gonna bring me something serious. Like he's, he's worth talking to. Right. And so, you know, I, I happily vouched for you because I had seen you put in the work. I'd seen what you had done before. And I, I feel like I know some other people that may have vouched as well. I'm like the same boat, man. It's, it's there because you put in the work. But then if none of those people knew that you were like doing the work behind the scenes, they wouldn't have vouched for you. So it is important to like do this stuff, but people need to know. You don't have to be like, hey, look at me, I'm, I'm doing this. But like posting wins in the community. Or posting on social media or like being in group chats, dude. Like, it's just hard to— it's hard to— yeah, it's hard to properly show the ripple effect that can come just from one little conversation that you didn't even think much of. You didn't even expect much out of, you know, you talk to one marketing guy way back when, turns out marketing guy gets on the team that you want to be on, then you're top closer or whatever, making $20K a month. Like, you just never know, dude. So, okay, you're consistently top 3 of 7, if not 1, if not 2. $10,000. What was like the official number that you ended up?
It's like $10,006.90. So I was doing the math. And then it kind of snuck up on me. And I'm like, oh, I'm like, I might hit $10K this month. I'm like, oh, shoot. Because I've come close, but I've hit like $9.3, $9.1, $8.5. And I'm like, I would have been 2 pips away, and I would have been there. So I'm like, oh, shoot. I'm like, okay, I need to guarantee that I'm gonna hit this number. So I did all the math and I added it up and I was like, I'm gonna come in— I'm not joking— $9,999.90. And I'm like, I'm like, I know Dylan will let it slide, but I need that extra 10 cents. So I literally hit my CRM and I found a guy who would give me a $170 deposit just for an extra $70 or $17 in commission.
That's funny. Well, I mean, yeah, now we got, we got a trophy coming out to— or I guess when you, when you pull up to Austin, we'll hand deliver it to you.
I'm looking forward, man. No.
What does the schedule look like to do something like that?
Honestly, like, it's not the craziest schedule in the world. I'd maybe get 4 to 5 booked calls a day maximum. Usually maybe one would cancel, one would reschedule, and then maximum 3 live calls. But there's many days where I have 1 or 2 live calls and nothing else. And then maybe like a little 30-minute-long team meeting in the morning, if that. Maybe it's like 15 minutes long.
Mm-hmm.
I live in pretty north Canada, so I, in the summertime, do 9 to 5 availability with some breaks scheduled in between. And then in the winter, I do 8 AM to 6 'cause there's nothing to do except work. But this was with a 9 to 5 type of schedule. Wake up at 8, wash my face, have a coffee, chill. First call of the day, team meeting at 10 AM local time for me, and then 2, 3 calls a day. I had a 41 or a 42% close rate the last month. And I know that's variable depending on the offer, but like for my offer, that's our KPI is 33% on just like all booked calls. So that includes if they're a financial DQ or not.
Mm-hmm.
So 41%, highest PIF rate I've ever had, thanks to some people that Dylan— literally, I'm on a call with Dylan, he gives me a name, I write it down on a sticky note, and he's just like, you might wanna look into this. And I, I'm the type of guy, I have the scrap paper on my desk and I leave it in the corner of my desk and literally Literally for 4 months, like my family knows, like, don't touch that paper, right? Because I'm like, I might need that. 4 months later, I just randomly look at the paper. I'm like, I'm going to call this guy up. Started working with him and then it, you know, moved from there. And, but yeah, so not a bad schedule at all. I also did, there was a 7-day lull in the month. I didn't close a single deal from like the 10th to the 17th. Didn't close anything at all. And then on top of that, outside of that 7-day period, I did a 3-day long road trip to the mountains. With my family, which was awesome. And I didn't do any work during that time, made lots of memories, collected a couple payment plans, but like that was it. And so if I add up all the days, there's 31 days in this calendar month. 10 of those days, 7 of them didn't close a deal, 3 of them, and that's because there was like pretty much no calls, 3 of them I was basically on vacation. And then let's say there was another like 2 days I took off, it was like a weekend day, effectively half the month. If you like Like were to add it all up, adds up to about like, yeah, almost 2 weeks worth of time. And even during the time I was working, it was not packed out wall to wall, 8 calls a day, 10 calls a day. It was not that.
Yeah. You also have the benefit of being in Canada. So the conversion on things—
Dude, it's the best.
Are you, was it $10K USD or $10K Canadian?
USD. I would not consider Canadian, Canadian dollars for this target.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't judge, but But I mean, it's still, it's still good. But so that comes out to like $14,000 or so Canadian.
Yeah, $14,000.
Which, you know, I've never been to where you live. I don't think it's a Miami-level pricing situation. Like it probably goes pretty far, right?
Dude, if you want to have a mortgage on a nice home, plus expenses for 2 people, plus like you're going out to eat once a week and like you're living a very good quality of life by pretty much much anyone's standard, any like normal person's standard, you need like 40% less than that pre-tax and you're good.
So yeah. Okay, dude. So you, you've been in the space since 2022. You were a young dude who did whatever you could to make it happen. You've seen the ups, you've seen the downs. You quit for a little bit, you came back because the grass isn't always greener. You're coming off a record month. You will be at our event in Austin in a month and a half, give or take. Someone's watching this, And they're like, this guy's pretty wise, man. I feel like I could learn a lot from him. Someone's watching this, they want to shoot for their first $10K month, they want to break into the space and they're young or they're in college. What, what's like the biggest 1 to 2 tips, pieces of advice that you would go back and tell your former self that you know now based on your experience to cut down the time to get here?
Basically, the number one, actually, yeah, this ties in very well. But the number one thing I for a very long time was just on like a hamster wheel of sales training. thinking like the better, and it's true, it will pay off. But I was just training, training, training every 6 months, new mentorship. But I was not tapped into where are these super good opportunities being sourced. And because I thought, well, if it's a, even if it's a bad opportunity, well, I actually didn't even really know how to assess. I actually did not know how to assess the quality of an opportunity. Genuinely, I felt like a $5K a month offer, I'm like, I could make $10K here if I just get better at what I do, right?
Yeah.
I didn't realize, oh no, my skill took me 3 years to learn this. No, my skill level is actually where it needs to be. I just need to be tapped into the better roles and just get in front of these people because the 1 or 2 times I have, it worked out amazingly. But I wouldn't have figured that out had I not taken the step. So number 1 is yes, sales training is important, but it isn't the entire thing. You can be like me and very easily be stuck at like $6K a month, $5K a month, and you have all the sales training in the world. But then when you move to one of those better offers, it just skyrockets.
Yeah.
The second thing is from my story earlier, the grass is not greener. It truly, truly is not. You kind of have to experience it to learn that. But if you wanna learn from the mistakes of somebody who's done it rather than go and experience it yourself, the grass is not greener. I consider, in my opinion, high ticket sales is easy money. I don't consider it difficult money. That, that's my personal It's not a coal mine. It's not in-person sales. It's not door-to-door. It's, it could get much worse.
So it's one of the cushier sales gigs for sure.
It's cushy.
Yeah, I can withstand the commission-only side of it. You get on a good offer, you'll be all right.
But that's temporary though, right? Like having to withstand it eventually. It's now so natural for me that I'm like, okay, like it just, there's no emotion with the, the ups and downs of it. I'm just, I'm so used to it now. And I also know though, that's partly because my skillset's so solid. I'm like, well, I could go anywhere and replicate this income pretty much. So I'm fine.
Cool. Well, we do gotta jump into community live call right now, but if you guys are looking to connect with Rita, I'll put whatever he allows me to down below. Go chat with him if he wants to talk to you. Otherwise, he is in the community. That's where we talk most of the time. That's where he makes posts and talks with other people. So if you are looking And to get into that network of the more serious opportunities, you want people to vouch for you. You want serendipitous things to happen. That's where those kinds of things happen. So if you watched this far, guys, thank you. Rita, thanks for coming on.
Absolutely. Thank you.
That's the interview, you guys. Thank you for tuning in. Hopefully you were able to take away some good stuff from that. If you're interested in getting a remote sales job like the one that Rita landed, like the ones that many others have landed, that's what we help people do. We've been doing it since 2022. I think we're genuinely world-class at it. As you heard Rita say, sales training is important. We definitely want to make sure that we have the skill, but at a certain point, the vehicle is what's going to move the needle for you. And if you feel like you're in a backwards hustle right now, you feel like you're overqualified and underpaid, and access and proximity is the difference maker, like, go to the first link in the description. That's our community. You can learn more about it. There's a video on the page. Watch it, chat with the team. We're happy to help you out. We've been doing this for a while. We want to keep doing this for a while. That's why we're big on expectation setting and not making income claims and all that stuff. So thank you guys for watching. We got another one coming next week, I think, $24,000 a month as an appointment setter. That one is pretty sick. So stoked to show you guys that one, but I'll see you all soon. Thank you for watching.
