He reflects on the failure SDU Academy (SDR Enablement Program) & White Pelicans (Sales Development as a Service) and how it led to his success today.

Starting with talent sourcing using the Top Funnel best-practice methodologies to now working at a start-up, he's now on his way to massive success.

Come join us as he shares his insights and strategy of what it takes to be an Elite Prospector.

From prospecting with three Sales Engagement Platforms (Salesloft, Outreach, Apollo.io) running concurrently to tracking your own numbers, Jackson shares how he pushes through barriers when times get tough, regardless if it's a brick wall or not.

Please note this episode was specifically recorded to share a story of how you can hit rock bottom and launch sky high.

You do not need a college degree to be successful in life.

Although it took Jax 10 years to get his undergrad, what got him to where he's at today isn't his school creds but the ability to see the end goal before it even started; high up in the tech sales space.

Despite all the external factors and negativity that he's been through, he always pushes forward, and if he can do it, so can you.

Aim High, Dream Big, and never let anyone talk you out of your dreams.

"In life, you will always be judged.  Despite the way you look, talk, walk or act, it doesn't matter.  The only thing that matters is the things you're doing today to become a better person than you were yesterday." -Jax
