In this episode of Because of Sales, Dylan Vergara and Jake Pastick break down what’s actually happening in modern remote sales. They tackle whether remote sales is a trap or an opportunity, why some reps are miserable while others thrive, and how ownership, environment, and personality matter more than most people realize.

They share real interview alpha, react to viral hiring moments, unpack why “everything is sales,” and break down how a 24-year-old remote rep made $54,000 in commissions in a single month. The conversation covers corporate vs remote sales, agency as a career accelerator, leveraging personality as an edge, and why sales remains one of the fastest paths to financial leverage.

Daniel oversees the closer team responsible for selling high-ticket coaching programs and shares what it actually takes to perform—and lead—at one of the highest standards in the sales industry.

They dive deep into objection handling frameworks, sales management, follow-up systems, AI-powered call coaching, and how elite sales teams scale predictably.

They also explore leadership challenges, hiring closers, building repeatable sales systems, leveraging AI without losing human connection, and why sales remains one of the most future-proof skills in a rapidly changing market.

In this end-of-year episode of the Because of Sales Podcast, Dylan Vergara and Jake Pastick break down the state of sales in 2025 and what’s coming in 2026. They reflect on the evolution of Because of Sales as a media brand, the rise of sales memes and creator-led content, what’s actually working in outbound today, and why pattern-interrupt selling is making a comeback.

The conversation dives into AI’s real impact on sales (beyond hype), why entry-level sales roles are changing fast, how content creation is becoming a core sales skill, and why in-person selling may quietly return as an edge. They close with end-of-year hot takes on hiring, resumes, breaking into sales, and why the bar is lower than most people think.

This episode sets the tone for 2026: fewer tactics, more perspective — and building long-term leverage through sales.

After years in sales across corporate, agency, freelancing, and high-ticket environments, Jake joins the podcast to help build Because of Sales into a long-term media platform focused on leverage, perspective, and financial independence for sales professionals.

They also share the first deals that changed their relationship with money, from Dylan’s six-figure roofing sale to Jake’s first high-ticket online coaching close during COVID.

This episode sets the tone for the future of Because of Sales: honest conversations from operators still in the game, real stories behind big wins, and practical insight for salespeople building freedom through their skillset.
