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.

Are you sending lots and lots of cold emails but getting little to no responses?

Wish you could start more conversations with skeptical prospects?

Selling is not that serious. 

You’re not a brain surgeon.

You’re not landing planes.

You’re sending emails. 
You’re making cold calls. 

Nobody dies if the prospect doesn’t respond.

Missed quota? 
Congrats, you’re now like every seller… ever.

The ones who last?
They laugh.
They learn.
They move on.
They do their best and forget the rest. 

Chill out. 
Do yoga. 
Cackle with your friends before corporate steals your soul. 

You’ll sell better.
And sleep better too.

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

Here’s one powerful ChatGPT prompt for sellers.

The Job to Be Done prompt.

Example:

“I am a salesperson who works for Snowflake. I mostly prospect data scientists in retail. Help me understand the job they’re trying to get done, how they’re doing it without Snowflake, and what’s frustrating about the current way.”

That’s it.

No prompts about objections.
No prompts about closing lines.
No prompts about features.

Why does this matter?

Prospects don’t pay attention to products.
They pay attention to problems.

So do you.
So do I.
So does everyone.

It’s why you’d immediately pay attention if I told you there’s dog poo in your path.

When you clearly understand the job someone is trying to get done and the friction in the current way, you stop pitching.

You stop convincing.

You start asking better questions.

Questions like:
“When you need to analyze last week’s retail sales, do you pull the data into a notebook, query it where it lives, or create a new pipeline?”

Now something important happens.

You feel calm.
You feel grounded.
You feel confident.

Not because of your value prop.
But because you’re simply checking whether a real problem exists.

Some prospects will relate to the problem.
Some won’t.

Both are wins.

Because selling isn’t about making problems appear.

It’s about noticing the ones that already exist.
