We welcome Jeremy to share his story and answer 12 Questions in 30 Minutes.

Hi. I’m Jeremy, and I’m an Overhaulic.

I’m addicted to helping entrepreneurs in the coaching and consulting space increase their close rates.

It’s fun going beyond the BORING industry standard of 14.5%.

I was never a super-talented salesperson with crazy charisma.

I even hated marketing and sales for the first couple of years in my entrepreneurial journey.

After honing my sales craft in the ‘non-talented’ way, I was finally able to let my new ‘giver process’ do the heavy lifting. I became a top sales person.

I became the sales manager of a team that made $1.7mm per month in revenue.

I started consulting - and training teams for international businesses like direct-marketing giant Guthy Renker.

From there, I became the client success director for Traffic and Funnels.

To this day, I STILL do sales coaching with a few private coaching clients.

I realized; after thousands of sales calls, over 15 years of sales coaching, and building over 200 funnels - that I am an Overhaulic.

Sales Sans Adversaries: Do you want to be your clumsy awkward self while closing deals that feel great for you & your prospect? Did you know most people *don't* need more sales teaching? They need COACHING on what they're ALREADY doing. We're on a mission to free bootstrapped service Founders from toxic sales practices that can feel like being stuck in quicksand. Plus, every sale provides fresh, sustainable, locally-sourced water wells to survival-mode communities across the world, empowering families to stay together & thrive together.
