Catapulting Commissions Sales Talk with Anthony Garcia

Shownotes Transcript

The greatest profession in the world is being a salesperson. Because if you're a salesperson, you have a high-income skill. Point blank. There's no alternative. Being a salesperson is a high-income skill.

Every successful entrepreneur, in whatever industry they're in at one point or another, has had to sell something. Every successful entrepreneur will tell you everybody should have a sales experience at some point in time in your life. I've worked in incredibly technical and scientific industries before. I work with some of the most outstanding surgical minds in the world. I worked with some of the most significant legal minds in the world.

And you know what? They, too, need help generating sales. So if you're a salesperson, embrace that. You have a high-income skill. You have a skill that can take you far in life.

And the beautiful thing about being a salesperson is you do not have a cap on your income. Hence, the name Catapulting Commissions. I live by this mantra, “if I eat what I kill, the revenue I generate helps provide for my life, and I'd rather live that way than being capped on a salary.” 

When I left corporate America, the amount of job offers that came was great, but they were capped. And I got to be honest with you, that's not the life I want. The Current Salesforce Over 50% of sales professionals are actively looking for a new job right now. This is data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This isn't just made up from some random poll or some random social media poll. This is genuine, actual data.

And in the US alone, there are 2 million open sales jobs right now. So half the salesforce is thinking of quitting. There are 2 million jobs available right now for sales professionals. So if you have the skill set to sell something, the opportunity to make money is there.

Now, if you listen to the episode we shared yesterday), we talked about the impact and scary statistics you should know.

Because truth be told, Forbes suggests that a lot of current sales professionals aren't as well-trained. But even if you're half skilled, the market is still there. And because sales is a high-income skill, you'll never convince me otherwise. Why not advance that skill to the next level? And in doing so, take the opportunity to improve your skill. Take your sales skills to the next level If you're a salesperson selling for a company, or you're a salespreneur small business owner trying to generate revenue for your company, you have to look at sales as a skill that you develop, practice, and invest time in. Many people just show up with their product and features and think the market is going to say, ‘Buy me.’ It doesn't work that way. Because you have this high-income skill, I'm going to highly recommend that you practice this skill.

So if you were to ever ask me what is the greatest job in the world? Hands down, no questions asked, it's being a salesperson. And the only people who say being a salesperson isn't a good job are those who haven't developed their sales skills or haven't had a level of success that they become addicted to. Maybe I said it is a level of success that they become addicted to. Because once you compete in the sales industry at a high level with high income in six and seven-figure commissionable years, you're like, Holy crap, I can do this.

So I'm here to tell you that high-income skill meets high-income coaching. Why don't you come to join me at the Catapult Commission's Academy workshop)?
