    Congrats on the place man, looks incredible. I’m in my first year in sales (started in august) estimated to make around $150k. My OTE was 50-60k, so very humbled to have the amount of success that I have. You’re definitely right, you start to not care as much about spending money on ubers / food etc, and I’m naturally a saver trying to be financially independent as well.

    Hey Trent I’m currently applying for a SDR job. I watch your videos religiously. I know I would be a great fit for the company and would happily assume the role of a sales rep proudly, my only concern is actually getting the job. What advise would you give to a fellow 24 year old trying to nail the interview knowing they’ll thrive if given the opportunity?

      If you wanna get a job I advice you to do this :
      1. Create a pipeline of companies you wanna work with.
      2. Create a script to convince them to hire you, and another for Interviews.
      3. Identify the possible objections they may say and find good answers to handle them.
      4. Train for It.
      5. Pick up the phone and start calling everyday all day.
      Also
      1. Identify and eliminate all limited believes In your mind that are stoping you. ( Sales Is a mind game )
      2. Don't let rejection affect your performens. ( Otherwise you'll fail even before you start In that field )
      3. Remember, you either convince them why they should hire you, or they convince you with whatever reason why they can't.

    For the last days, I have been thinking about changing careers to switching from machinery sales to Software sales. the remote job here nowadays is the way to survive)) And I think that software sales can be a good idea.
