From a Freezer Truck to $100M+ in Sales: My Story of Grit, Growth, and Redefining the Game I didn’t read a sales book. I didn’t sit in a classroom. I didn’t shadow a guru. At 12 years old, I picked up a bag of ties and started knocking on doors. Not because I wanted to play entrepreneur. Because I had to. I was a kid from humble beginnings, and money didn’t just “show up.” If I wanted to help my family eat, I had to figure it out, quick. I walked the streets selling ties to working men, door after door, smile after smile, no script, no plan. I learned how to connect. I learned how to read people. I learned how to sell. That was my first taste of what sales could do and I never forgot it. By 13, I was pulling in $4K to $7K a month, a number most adults don’t hit, and one I wasn’t even old enough to legally cash on my own. But I wasn’t just earning… I was learning. A couple of years later, I leveled up.. selling quality meats door-to-door out of a freezer truck. Yes, a literal truck full of frozen food. Hot pavement. Cold product. Random neighborhoods. But I thrived. I started consistently earning $7K to $10K a month, cold-calling in the most old-school way possible. It was hard, it was unglamorous.. but it was real. And it’s where I built my process. No one trained me. I trained myself. I built what worked from experience, not theory. And what I built started working everywhere. Eventually, I stepped into the corporate world telecommunications sales. But I didn’t hang up my D2D boots. I brought that same street-trained energy to the table. Within months, I was ranked #1.. not just in my company, but out of hundreds of thousands of reps worldwide. That success grew into an executive role, where I closed over $60 million in personal sales and helped lead a team that generated more than $120 million. We didn’t follow the outdated playbook. We followed connection, psychology, and real sales skill. Then came insurance sales. Cold calls. Kitchen table closings. Deep, emotional conversations with clients. I applied the same principles.. and again, rose to the top. I became #1 in the country, generating over $85 million in policy value, and climbed into a director’s seat with another multi-seven-figure track record.
