In this episode of Founders Future, with host Mishal Saeed, we sit down with Alison Mullins, founder and CEO of Rep Methods LLC, a sales training firm revolutionizing workforce development in male-dominated industries like construction and building materials. Alison shares her 20+ year journey from mastering commission-based sales to launching her own venture, driven by a mission to bridge the gap between high-performing employees and effective leadership—especially for those without traditional degrees. She reveals how her "Manifestation Selling" method and "Magic Number" system help clients quantify success, while her philanthropic internship programs create pathways for underrepresented talent.

Alison also dives into her boots-on-the-ground growth strategy, where 73% of clients come from word-of-mouth and speaking engagements—proving the power of human-centric selling in an AI-driven world. She discusses the challenges of balancing two businesses, her "slow and steady" scaling philosophy, and why she prioritizes in-person connections over digital ads. For founders navigating sales, leadership development, or workforce gaps, Alison’s story is a masterclass in building a purpose-driven business that thrives on authenticity and relentless outreach.
