Nathan Payne hired a college friend as a cold-caller and let him live in his spare bedroom. The arrangement fell apart over shared resources like the fridge and towels, forcing Payne to fire him and ask him to move out. He warns wholesalers never to hire friends or house employees doing cold calls.
He was using the fridge and I was like, dude, use your dang, your own dang fridge. He was using my towels. And Blake, if you're watching this, I love you, man. But that's just, you know, we were young and we let it fly, but we were just going for it. But not a smooth idea and definitely not something I would do now. But that's how much I wanted this to work in the wholesaling. I wanted to succeed as a wholesaler. So I hired my buddy from college, let him live with me, living like right across the room from me in like one of the spare bedrooms. Anyway, that's a funny experience that wouldn't do now. I wouldn't recommend hiring a college buddy and then letting him live at your house and letting him cold call for you because it ended up not working in the long run. And I had to say, hey man, I love you, but you're fired and you got to move out of my house. So that ended up happening, which is kind of an interesting experience, but, you know, not really worth having the— not having privacy. And it's— if you're thinking about it, it won't work out.
