In this episode of The AgentFirst Podcast, Justin Volrath sits down with industry veteran and all-around good guy Tim Toombs, who opens up about his accidental entry into the world of credit card processing—starting with a Budweiser warehouse job and somehow ending with 18 signed pizza shops in his very first week. This isn't just a story about selling. It's about grit. It's about taking risks (like starting 100% commission work 13 days before Christmas ). It's about having a partner who believes in you when no one else does (shout out to Tim's better half, Emily!). And it's about lighting someone else's fire just by keeping your own flame burning. If you're in a slump, feeling alone, or wondering if this whole ISO life is worth it—this one's for you.
