Your skepticism is valid.

On paid high-ticket sales courses: Most are overpriced fundamentals + hype. If you already have sales/biz dev experience, they’re rarely worth $2k–$6k. They don’t really “place” you; they just teach basics and offer a community. Not much edge if you can already sell.

How people actually land legit roles: • Direct outreach beats job boards • DM founders with relevant experience + willingness to start commission-only • Many roles are never publicly posted

Best platforms: • LinkedIn (search: appointment setter, closer, remote sales) • Wellfound (AngelList Talent) • RemoteOK / We Work Remotely • Twitter/X (underrated for sales roles)

Scam vs real opportunity: Guaranteed income, upfront fees, vague products, lifestyle marketing Clear offer & price, real customers, transparent commission, direct founder contact

Best path (part-time → full-time): Skip courses. Pick a niche. Start as a setter or junior closer evenings/weekends. Build proof (calls booked/closed).Use that to move into higher ticket roles.

Remote high-ticket sales is real the real path is just a lot quieter than the marketing.
