This Marine made $10,000 in his first 18 days in sales... ever

What's up, you guys? We are live with Jace here. Jace is a community member who was referred in by another guy that we have an interview with who crushes it. His boy Josh from the Marine Corps days. We are interviewing Jace today because Jace is about to be heading over to Japan to live with his family. There's a whole story behind that. Maybe we'll talk about it a little bit here, but Jace made some cool things happen with remote sales and we want to show you guys how. So Jace, thank you for coming on the interview.

Awesome, man.

Thanks for having me.

Guys, I'm going to keep dropping in here because you might be confused. You might think that because so many people that we work with are doing awesome things, that this is normal. Well, it is in fact not normal at all. When you take the results of the people inside our community and you compare them to the results of the industry, it's night and day. Okay? And just because someone joins our community, it doesn't even mean that they're going to get a $10,000 paycheck in 18 days, their first 18 days in the space. I would actually guarantee you that you're not going to do that unless you can be like Jace and end up the right person, the right place, the right time, and perform. We gave Jace the tools. He took the tools and built something awesome with it. And that's what we want to highlight in this interview. We don't want to guarantee income. We don't want to set anybody up to expect a result that's not likely for them. We just want to show you what other people have done. Also, by the way, guys, this interview right here, you see my cursor? That's Josh. Josh is the one that referred Jace in. I spoke to Josh for almost 3 years on Instagram. Before he pulled the trigger. They're both Marines. That's how they knew each other. That's how they've become brothers for life. Josh got an awesome result, referred his buddy in, Jace. Jace got an awesome result, referred his buddy in, who's now in the process of getting an awesome result. And funny enough, literally today, which I'm going to link this interview at the end of this one, if I'm in our community and I go down to the wins channel here, it wasn't today, I'm sorry, but first full week review. Take a second, pause this, read it if you want. Now, since the 4th, I have made $10K commission and have a few more lined up today. $10K commission. That was in 4 days or I'm sorry, 2 days ago. So the 11th. So from the 4th to the 11th, Josh made $10,000. Jace is winning. Josh is winning. We're all winning, man. Come on, stop playing with us. So now let's get into it with Jace.

So a little bit of the backstory, man. I know you've known Josh for quite some time, right? And I think if I remember right, he got out of the service and went into roofing sales. You were going to, didn't work out for one reason or another. And then he ended up in the remote stuff and was like, yo, Chase, you gotta check out this remote stuff. Is that basically how it went down? Yeah.

Yeah.

I, I moved out to Florida. I bought a house out here. We started to get into roofing together. I don't know if it was just the timing or what, but I mean, the company that we worked for was, I wouldn't say the, the best. They wanted to work with strictly insurance deals, you know? And that's where you get kind of shady in that type of thing.

And all the houses that we were finding that, you know, they just wanted repairs done and things like that. And we weren't even getting them approved on our end because they wanted it to be insurance, a full roof done.

I don't know.

We kind of separated from that idea. I started to go to school. I got medically retired out of the military. So I have that, that I live off of, but, you know, I go to school and I get paid to go to school as well. So, I mean, I was doing fine there, but it's just, you know, it's just covering bills and, you know, expenses. I mean, being in the States, States are pretty expensive. So, you know, I wanted to look for something that was going to allow me to speed up my timeline to be able to move back to Japan. Because, you know, my kids are dual citizens, you know, and we were homeschooling them here, but we wanted to put them back in school back in Japan. It's a little bit nicer, better. So we're just looking at a way to try to figure that out. And Josh was telling me that he's talked to you and, you know, been a part of your community for a while. He just never really did anything with it. I'd clown him. I'd be like, what are you, what are you doing?

You know?

Uh, getting into a community that, you know, you obviously paid for and you're not doing anything with it. I was like, are you fucking stupid? Uh, you know, like, what are you doing? He's like, yeah, well, I don't know, man. And I was like, Josh, the roofing isn't fucking working. Let's see this avenue. And if it works good, pull me in. I'll fucking, it'll help me out too. You know, I'll make a little bit of extra money. And we did a full week of me doing like interviews with him, like doing like some, you know, uh, getting them all set up and trying to land a job. And he landed a job fairly quickly. Actually, like the first place he applied to, he landed it right away and went in and then start killing it right away, you know? And so I was like, ah, obviously this is something that is, you know, tangible. It works. I mean, you create your own schedule and made it really simple, I guess, like, uh, in order to make a decision to go this route. Because, you know, like we homeschooled my kids here, so I got to work from home and I get to see my kids all day. And in between calls, I could, you know, I got like 20 minutes in between calls to come hang out and see how their schoolwork's doing. And You know, spend some time with them.

So it was really relaxing.

But, you know, I landed a job as well. And first few weeks was, was solid, dude. Like I did $10K in my first 18 days in commissions. It was on an offer that was selling to service members. So, I mean, it was just right up my alley, you know? But I mean, it didn't fully work out because we lost the contract. The company that I was working for lost the contract. No fault of my own or anything. It was just, they had bad, I guess, relations with some previous people and they just wanted to pull the plug. on it. And they put me on another offer, stayed with that company for a few months. I was doing about $7,000 a month, but it wasn't anything, I guess, good in terms of like what I was killing it on an awesome offer. But I, you know, I stuck with it because I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, it was $7,000 going straight to my savings every month, you know? So it was awesome. But yeah, it sped up my timeline to be able to get my family back out to Japan and start looking for You know, something to do out here. I mean, really the reason why I came into the community itself is because I saw it as, uh, I want to say like job security. It's a community that's always going to have something that's posted that is vetted. It's going to be pretty solid, you know, and it gives me an opportunity to kind of pick and choose. And, you know, coming from a community like this, you already have a little bit of a background of what they're looking for. Because I mean, I mean, they're looking for people that are all in on this, not just somebody that's, you know, a little high school kid that is trying to make some money part-time, has no experience, you Like they want people with experience and, and if you don't have experience, then getting into a community that helps bridge that for you, it helps a lot. You know, I mean, that's why I kind of came into the space.

All right, guys, I know you've heard me talking about this tool, but I'm going to actually show you what this tool does this time around. This is our Success Query database. All these interviews, we basically pull all the best parts of it or all the parts of them, put it into a database that you can talk to. So if you're looking to get into this industry, And it's fuzzy. You see all these awesome things and they're so awesome and it's so fuzzy that it makes you feel like it's not real or it's not possible for you. Well, this actually has more than 61 stories here. It has 68, I think that's how many interviews we've got as of us posting this one. And it is over 20 hours of content, but you can come in here and just say, hey, give me advice on my situation. And if I come in here and say, I work for 10-hour shifts per week. Is this doable for me? I just made this up and it actually thinks. So it goes through and it's going to pull people from our actual database, which I remember doing all these interviews of people that were doing full-time work and how that's going to be broken down for you. You can watch the interviews here and you can ask it another question. What if it's in person? I don't have access to my computer all the time. It's gonna take some time to think because it's actually going through all the information and not just summarizing and spitting you out some shit like ChatGPT. So DM roles, I mean, that's what I would personally tell you myself. Anyways, guys, you get the gist of this. Go down below to the second link in the description, download this tool, talk to it, ask it any questions you want. It's better than most people's paid stuff. And now let's get back to it with Jace.

You hadn't had too much like traditional sales experience before coming into it, right?

No, not at all, man.

I was a Marine, you know?

Yeah.

That was my, that was my background. I mean, the only thing that I was good at was persuading other Marines to do shit work that sucked, you know, and just made them get motivated for it. So that was about it.

So when you come into your first offer, which happened pretty quickly, and in 18 days you make $10,000, which I would assume it's more than you're making in the Marines.

Absolutely.

Did you feel like you kind of got lucky in a sense, or were you like, yeah, I've been the guy capable of this the whole time? Like, how did you feel when you saw that happen?

I don't want to say so much it was luck. I think the offer was, maybe it was lucky getting on a decent offer, but I put in a lot of time, man. You know, like I went through all the trainings that you had on here, went through every one of them and went through them actually a couple of times. And then I focused on the trainings that the company had that I was working with as well. And I watched a lot of calls, a lot of videos and stuff. And I worked 7 days a week for, you know, a few weeks.

Cause I, you know, I told myself, I just want to get good at it. I'll put a lot of time into it, get really good at it, and then I'll kind of pull back and work less hours and be comfortable with whatever I make from there. Yeah.

And so, I mean, I put a lot of time into it. I watched a lot of videos. I watched a lot of my own calls. And it was funny cuz in the beginning it was just rough looking at my calls, you know? And the very first day I got a close, I actually got a hat trick and I was just like, I got a close and it felt good.

And then I was like, okay, well I'm just gonna do exactly that.

And then 2 calls later I get another close and then my call right after that, I get a third and I'm just like, man, you know, I made like $2,100, it was a $7K ticket. So it was $2,100 in a day. And I was like, what is this? You know, my 2-week paychecks in the, in the military weren't even that much, you know, early on until I had a family. So like, it was just, I don't know, it was a big difference for me.

No, 100%. Do you feel like you had a different approach coming into this because you have, I don't know exactly what the situation is with like the payment from the government for being medically discharge and all that, but I know like you, you're paid to go to school, which is awesome. And you kind of have like more of like a safety net in that regard than the average person who has nothing. And they're like, I need to make this much from scratch every month to survive. Do you think that allowed you to, to take bigger swings and be a little bit more comfortable from the beginning? Or did you just, you kind of just put that away and not even think about it at all?

I mean, yeah, it gave me a little bit of a peace of mind, but still like, man, like in my head, you know, I got a wife and kids that I want to take care of that I want to, you know, Give them a better life and give them, you know, better opportunities that I had growing up. Right. So to me, it still was like, hey, I needed to make something work to get back to where we were at. I mean, when I was there in Japan, I was stationed there. I had a purpose there. So, I mean, but going there as a civilian, it's a little bit more difficult. You know, you're not getting, you got to land something that's going to give you the right pay. You know, you got to, you got to figure something out. You know, when I came across Cereal Sales Community, I saw that there was a lot of offers.

That, you know, even had time zones in Australia and it's almost the same time zone as Japan.

They were taking hours. So, I mean, even if I, you know, didn't want to work graveyard hours in Japan closing, you know, work until like 4 or 5 in the morning, I could still work something in Australia. So it just, it made sense to kind of come in and, and get something that I'll always have a fallback on.

Yeah.

I think that's what's really important because, I mean, expenses are getting out of hand. You know, like things are getting more expensive. I mean, everything is, everything has gotten more expensive. So you have to figure out a way to make more money. And when you give yourself a limitless, you know, ceiling of how much money you can make, it's just based off of your work ethic, what you're willing to put into it. You're able to kind of reap those benefits more than if you were to just take an easier path and land a, you know, a 9 to 5 that gives you a base salary and you're okay with $5,000 to $8,000 a month. I mean, that's still okay, but I mean, to live a life that's where you're not worried about taking 6 months off, you got to make more money than that, especially living in the States.

Do you plan on, once you get to Japan, to jump back into this pretty quickly, or are you kind of chilling over there for a bit?

It won't be very quickly. So I'm going to be going to school to study Japanese.

So my initial goal is to become extremely fluent in Japanese.

That's the goal. I mean, I speak a little bit.

I understand a lot, but I want to be fluent and it's just that, that's just my priority right now. And I have the ability to do so, you know, like, so why not?

But, you know, once I finish up school and everything, I'm going to hop back into this because it's a no-brainer. I create my own schedule. If I make a lot that month, I can take time off for the rest of the month and live in somewhere that the expenses are fairly low.

I don't even have to be absolutely crushing it, you know, like a lot of my other— I mean, Josh, He's a machine. You know, that guy, he works crazy hours. He's constantly doing stuff. And, you know, when I was working with him, you know, we maintained the same work ethic. So that's probably why I was doing so well. But I mean, dude, he does $15K in a couple of weeks in some of his offers, you know?

So it's like, there's definitely the potential to make people's yearly salaries in just a few months.

He hit me up not long ago and he's like, ah, dude, I'm, I'm kind of bummed out. I need a, I need a better offer. I only made $14K last month.

Yeah.

Uh, and I'm like, all right, dude, we, let's try to find you something better. But I mean, it's a good problem to have. But I think with your case, man, and like, this is the case with other people and, and something I'd like to highlight, this world of remote sales, remote closing, it's not necessarily the end-all be-all for everybody. It, for most people, it's a stepping stone, man. It, for you, it was the stepping stone to get back to Japan faster, to learn Japanese, take your family over there. For some people it's like starting a business or, or like getting some runway for the business that they already run. And I think that's one of the parts of this that people overlook. Because if I'm not mistaken, you've got lifetime access. So at any point in time, man, if you get bored one week, you're like, hey, this school stuff is too easy. Let me add some more to the mix.

Yeah.

That's what I was thinking.

Yeah.

Pick something up. So pretty overlooked part of this whole remote closing stuff, in my opinion.

Oh, definitely. And you also meet really great people, people that are goal-oriented, man. I mean, there's a lot of people that are okay with just having their head above the water. Uh, you meet a lot of people that have ambitions and they have goals. And I think surrounding yourself with those types of people, it just naturally rubs off on you. Even if this is a, you know, you don't want to do this forever, right? Make as much money as you can and invest in yourself and start something that you really want to do. But like, you're not going to make this type of money anywhere else unless you're starting your own practice and you did 8 years at a medical school or something, you know, like the, the type of Cash flow that comes from something like this is just, it's not in the cards for normal jobs.

Especially with how fast you can pick it up.

I mean, from going to this roof, like you were in roofing, I was in roofing too. I know the roofing game, but you were like, hey, the insurance stuff, roofing is not really what I want right now. And then literally without going to school, without going through any kind of like, I mean, you went through our like course material, but it was like night and day. It's like, okay, I'm in roofing and now I'm over here and now I'm earning money. And just like the rate at how fast you can pick this up if you have the right proximity, network, you know, education, of course. It's just really hard to compare. And then also the 1099 benefits, man. You know, there's not really any limitation besides the time zone, which is gonna be pretty tough if you work US or like with a US company. But like as a contractor, man, you could be wherever you want, you know?

Yeah.

There's great offers all over too, man. I mean, you don't have to stick with a US offer. There's European offers, there's Australian offers, you know, there's a lot of different like avenues that you could go and it just gives you the freedom of movement. And I think that's super important, especially for somebody young, man. Like, I got blessed by the military because I got to go to Japan right away. And I got to see— I mean, I'm coming from the Midwest, dude. Like, I'm, you know, coming from a small town. I didn't even see the ocean. I get to go to a beautiful country and then travel from there because it's so cheap. And I get to see all these different countries, you know, and you get that kind of perspective. And I got to live my 20s over there like that. And unless you got a job that's doing that for you, you're going to stay in the US and you're never going to experience that in your life. You know, you don't even think about it, right?

Yeah.

But if you got something, something like this that pays you well, I mean, there's a lot of countries that have those digital nomad visas that allow you to stay somewhere for a year where it's not just you visiting for 2 weeks and hitting all the tourist spots. You know, you can, you know, dive into the culture, see how it is, you know, like walk down to the supermarket, get your groceries, see what life is actually like there, man. And then you can get an idea If this is somewhere that is, you know, that I may want to live. So, I mean, it's, it gives you that, that freedom, that freedom of movement.

If you had to go back to Jace who was just getting into this and you, you basically starting out fresh, what would you tell yourself now knowing what you know? What would you tell yourself to make this easier, better, faster, or things like that?

Give yourself more faith to things like, you know, it's scary for people to make decision, especially like going into new spaces. This is like career changes for a lot of people. So I think having more faith in your ability, because I didn't think that I was going to come in and, and make, you know, a decent amount of money right off the bat. I was thinking I was going to make a couple extra thousand dollars, you know, for me to come in and not have any experience at all. I just applied what I learned and, you know, was asked a lot of questions, you know, as long as you're always going to be a student, you know, things are going to work out for you. You know, you just have to have more faith in yourself.

So I think that's probably something that I would tell myself.

What about to ex, like service members? And it doesn't have to be Marines, but I feel like, you know, all the, all the guys for the most part that we get that come from Marines, other branches, like they kind of roll a little bit differently. I feel like a little bit higher accountability drive, things of that nature. But if someone's watching this and they're coming outta service and like looking for something to, sink their teeth into, what would you say to that person?

I would say that they have a huge advantage and mainly being is because if you've spent time in the military and you actually, I mean, if you, we call them shitbags. I mean, if you weren't a shitbag in the military, right, you held yourself accountable and, you know, like, uh, you were a good soldier, a good Marine, good sailor, good airman, whatever. This is something that is easy. It's easy because it's the problems that you have are nothing near the problems that you had when you were in the military. So we're able to roll with the punches more. And take L's a lot easier and accept them than, you know, I guess a normal individual that, you know, something happens and it can ruin their entire day. And, you know, being in the military, we had something wrong happening, you know, a couple hours, you know, it was just like, oh, I guess it's that kind of day. You know, it's a little bit easier for, for you to come into this space and do well as long as you can maintain your accountability for yourself, you know, show up for yourself. And it, it, it just kind of works out. You know, if you, if you need help, ask for help. Grab the right people, listen to the right people, surround yourself with people that are making this their career and they're serious about it. You always wanna surround yourself with people and listen to people that have stuff that you don't have, stuff that you want, but that you don't have.

If you listen to those type of people and surround yourself, I mean, you're gonna come in here and you're gonna do, you know, exceptionally well. It's just, it's based off of work ethic at the end of the day.

Yeah. Especially the performance-based nature. It's really what you make it. 'Cause I don't know about you, man. I was talking to someone the other day, but we have a, this interview playlist that this interview's gonna be on. And at the time of recording, dude, we're at, we're sitting at, it might be 68 interviews. And if you're the type of guy that sees 68 interviews, you don't even have to watch 'em, but you see that and you're like, all right, man, now it's up to me to like make this happen. Like, I, I don't have any doubt that this is happening. But how do I make it happen for me? And if you're that type of guy, whether you're military or not, I mean, you, you might have a decent time, you know, if you see that and then your, your immediate reaction is, oh, it's 68 fake interviews. Like he must've paid for these or, or something like that. You're not gonna make it, man.

Well, I, I think that that type of mentality is gonna keep you down no matter wherever you go.

Right.

That, that mentality is meant to create a victim within yourself and blame your problems on everything else. When in reality that your life is based off of the decision that you make. I mean, one of the things that I really took into accountability is that you are exactly where you deserve to be based off the decisions that you have made leading up to this point. And once you can swallow that pill, it's kind of a shift in your mindset of, I, only you can make the decision to make things change. It's not the 1900s, you know, or whatever, or even like even the 1990s where, you know, you had to go to the library and learn, you know, we have so much opportunity and so much, any question that you have in your brain, you can literally just look down at phone and ask it.

I mean, we have AI bots that are creating full businesses, you know, like tells you exactly how to do it, what your competitors are looking like, how to, you know, position yourself.

Maybe, you know, if you are in a position where you don't want to be, it's, it's really just you. That's at the end of the day.

It's because you've never done anything for yourself.

You never actually tried, you know?

All right, dude. I held you long enough.

Yeah. It's my birthday, man.

I gotta go get something to eat.

Oh, is it?

I didn't know.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm 31.

Oh yeah.

That's awesome. Is there anything we didn't talk about that you wanted to, or, or you feel pretty content with what we talked about?

No, I just wanted to thank, thank you for, you know, bringing, allowing me to be in a position to be around these type of people, man. Because coming from like the military or anything else, there's a lot of mediocrity in the world and there's a lot of people that are okay with being, just having their head above water and they're surviving.

And when you put yourself in an environment where people are striving to succeed It naturally rubs off on you, man, and it kind of changes the way you think and it changes things in your life, man.

And, you know, I've always been kind of an ambitious guy, but I've never really had ambitious friends.

Josh was the only one that was ambitious, you know, like me and him, we were making extra money running a fake Uber service in Japan. You know, like we always had an idea of something more, you know, and you don't really get that unless you surround yourself with those types of people.

So I just appreciate the opportunity to be around these types of people that have the same mindset, you know, 'cause it's, it's allowed my life to, to grow more rapidly and get, get me to where I want to be. And, you know, I see my goals starting to unfold faster and faster. So it's, it's been, it's been awesome.

Awesome. I appreciate you sharing that. And that's the goal, man. I mean, a lot of people, we see this a lot too, after people do like collegiate athletics, they struggle to kind of like find their footing in the world afterwards with something that I actually fulfills them or allows them to perform to their potential. And we've seen that with like ex-military guys too. So that's good feedback. Hopefully anyone listening can take your word for it that that's the reality. So, all right, man, I'll let you get to it. But if you guys want to get connected to Jace, we mentioned Jace's boy, Josh, other people similar, that's what our community is for in a sales context. If you want to get a job and meet people like this, check out the community. But besides that, man, Jace, I appreciate you running the interview.

Yeah.

Thanks for having me, man.

I appreciate it.
