Be the mint scoop in a sea of vanilla sales messages so you can start more conversations with skeptical prospects.

I created the Badass Growth Guide to eliminate commission breath. It gives you the best possible chance of starting conversations with people you don't know. It's a radically honest approach where prospects feel safe telling you the truth because they don't feel "sold" or "manipulated."

💥WHAT YOU GET:
➡️ More conversations with your ideal prospects.

I post weekly content about sales on LinkedIn.

This is by far my best-performing cold email subject line.

It also gets the most responses.

Via {Name}.

When I sold into HR, I didn’t start with people at the top.

I started with the ones doing the work.

During those conversations, I’d ask,
“Would it be okay if I mentioned your name when I reach out to {Scott}?”

If they said yes, I’d include their name in the subject line:

Via Kim.

And my first sentence was simple:
“Kim suggested I contact you regarding FSA participation.”

Doors at the top open more easily
when someone below has already welcomed you in.

Struggling to book meetings? Getting ghosted? Want to sell without pushing, convincing, or begging? Read this profile.

Don’t let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn’t say on a cold call.

There’s no “right” way.

Only your way.

There is no single path.
Only the one that fits your rhythm.

The one that rolls off your tongue with ease.
The one that feels like breathing, not acting.

The one that makes you sound like a person, not a playbook.

Find your way. 
Then refine it.

That’s when cold calls start to feel less like performing…
and more like connecting.

“I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.”

– Andy Bernard, The Office

It’s the kind of line that sounds soft at first…
but hits like a freight train later.

Because we don’t recognize our strength
until stairs leave us winded.
We don’t notice our energy
until it’s gone by 2 p.m.
We don’t appreciate feeling good in our bodies
until they stop cooperating.

The good old days aren’t just high school or your twenties.
They might be today.
Right now.
This moment, where your joints still work
and your kids still ask to play.

We’re wired to take things for granted until they’re gone.
To wish we could go back, even though we never really noticed what we had.

So here’s a thought:
What if today is one of those days?

Not perfect.
Not dramatic.
But one you’ll miss.

What would you do differently
if you knew you were already in the good old days?

Grateful for the 17,000 followers 🙏

Cold calling has been the number one thing I love talking about and it still gets me fired up every single day. 🧊 ☎️ 

There’s something special about breaking down the common objections, finding the real value prop, and learning how we can genuinely solve pain for the person on the other end of the line.

I’ve never believed in being monotone. I stick to the script, but I show up as myself curious, human, and always ready to learn something new from every conversation.

To everyone who has followed, engaged, or shared their own calling stories, thank you.

This space isn’t just about sales tactics. It’s about building confidence, empathy, and the kind of resilience that only a few seconds of silence after a “no” can teach you.

Here’s to the art (and heart) of cold calling, and to everyone out there still making those calls.
