In this monologue, Dylan Vergara argues that success in the high‑ticket sales industry depends far more on who you know and access to job opportunities than on sales training alone. He observes a pattern where community members join, leave after a few months, and later return when they need new job leads, often spending more money to regain access. While acknowledging that sales training is necessary to become a top performer, Vergara warns that without real opportunities to apply those skills, trainees will remain broke. He emphasizes that the market is saturated with sales trainers, and merely accumulating training will not pay the bills; practical opportunities are the essential missing piece.

Because a lot of the people that come into our community and then leave after 6 months, they end up joining back like later when they're ready to find the next job. They realize how important it is to have the jobs if they didn't already, and then they join back and they spend more money to do that because they didn't want to in the beginning. So point of all this, I'm just here to tell you guys that like, if you don't realize it by now, there are There are 100 sales trainers out there that could teach you how to be good at sales.

If you don't have an opportunity to practice it, you will be broke.
