Jeremy Pope (CEO, Sales Call Overhaul) is addicted to helping entrepreneurs in the coaching and consulting space increase their close rates.

Jeremy was never a super-talented salesperson with crazy charisma and he even hated marketing and sales for the first couple of years in my entrepreneurial journey. After honing his sales craft in the ‘non-talented’ way, he was finally able to let his new ‘giver process’ do the heavy lifting and became a top sales person.

Jeremy then began consulting - and training teams for international businesses like direct-marketing giant Guthy Renker. From there, he became the client success director for Traffic and Funnels. To this day, he  still does sales coaching with a few private coaching clients.
