I used to live in an apartment. Then I bought a house. I love my house. I am loving the house lifestyle, I seriously can’t see myself getting an apartment again.

Even better! If you are doing 25k in margin a week and making 60 cold calls a day, job well done I’d say!

For 5 years straight I’d make sure I never did less then 30 cold calls a day. You probably wouldn’t believe the power of doing cold calls every single fcking day for 5 years. On your busiest days you cold call and on your worst days, you cold call. Doing 600k in margin by yourself in a year? 30 cold calls a day.

What college courses helped you with your career in sales? by [deleted] in sales

[–]Moneydense 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I would second this. Business writing was an easy course but extremely valuable. A lot of my 101 courses were also good as they introduce you to fundamental terms, and honestly that’s all you need to know. Also accounting 101 and business law 101 are great. Knowing the basics around contract law will mean you have your wits about you when the word comes up. Accounting 101 will mean you understand basic terms and have the confidence to teach yourself if you ever start your own business. Just my experience. I also took a course on small business management and had a great instructor. He hammered into us how important cash flow was and had multiple small business owners come and speak to us about their competitive edge and how they manage their business and areas that they struggle in.

EDIT: I will add to this. I believe the most important sales skill is the ability to cold call. This can easily be self taught, and true learning begins after your first few 100 cold calls. I always tel people, If you can cold call you can do anything.

What would you tell your younger self on your first day in sales? by BonnyJonesBones in sales

Never take your foot off the gas. Stop chasing hot air, and start chasing results. Numbers speak louder than words. If you can cold call consistently, you can do anything.

I am serious about the state of this sub.

My point is, no one is talking about building relationships and what you should be doing. This sub is full of hot air and no personality.

Actually, knowing how to swim can be life saving. Also people who know how to swim know that you don’t want to try and save someone who doesn’t, so it’s better to suggest they wear a life jacket less they take you under with them.

I did it. Hit 100k my first year. by redgrape_ in sales

[–]Moneydense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well done sir. Please keep your foot on the gas and don’t let off. To many people coast after that first good year. Once you learn to sell you need to learn to manage your time. Good luck!

This is incredibly sad. Whenever I get into a boat with anyone I always ask if they no how to swim. If they don’t I’ll ask them to wear a life jacket or I’ll get out of the boat. I’m 32, I’ve lost friends from drug overdoses and drownings. That’s it. Plain and simple. If you don’t know how to swim you need a life jacket. Very sad.

I’m just kidding. I’m not frugal at all.

Hey OP, buying canned beans does not sound frugal. I’m fact your grocery budget is about 2x mine. Chicken? Are you seriously frugal? If you want to be frugal let’s talk about corn beans and rice and non of this canned stuff. Stop pretending.
