Listen Later

Success in sales isn’t just about strategy — it’s about mindset, discipline, and staying grounded in what actually matters.

In this episode, James sits down with Brian Reimer, Regional Sales Director in the cybersecurity space (Cato Networks) and long-time enterprise closer, to break down what it really takes to win million-dollar deals without losing yourself in the process.

Brian opens up about:

  • His approach to enterprise sales cycles
  • How his faith and family keep him anchored
  • Why he chose people and purpose over prestige
  • What most reps get wrong about long-term follow-up
  • And the real reason your energy matters more than your pitch

If you're trying to close bigger commercial cleaning contracts, stay patient through long sales cycles, or balance personal growth with business pressure — this episode will hit home.

Whether you run a $500K company or manage a team of 200, this one’s for the leaders playing the long game.


💡 What You’ll Learn:

  • ✅ How to show up when deals take 12–36 months to close
  • ✅Why most people quit right before the breakthrough
  • ✅How faith, family, and energy play into long-term success
  • ✅Why relational equity outperforms short-term tactics
  • ✅The mental edge that separates 6-figure from 7-figure closers
