My Sales Journey
Life is full of surprises and sometimes we need to feel the pain before we can change. The pain I endured was emotional. After 10 years in the diesel workshop field, I needed a change to find out why I was not happy and I believed sales was what I needed. I was correct but I didn't know how hard it was going to be and what I was going to learn was far more than sales.

Small Business Owner
Sales Consultant
Auckland
During these years I learned i lot about people, sales and most importantly myself
​
Below is a list of companies and job roles I did all related to sales and being mostly commission-only roles. Some I loved some I didn't it was all new and I had one goal, learn how to sell and learn how to get people to like me, find out about me.
​
Nurti-max: This was my first employed sales role commission only, this company had agents that sold cookware for them, we did home shows lead generating telemarketing in-home presentations, and more.
​
Option B: This role required me to be a qualified real estate agent so I become a qualified estate agent. We learned about selling houses and managing rentals
​
Data Source: This role was a telemarketer role which lead to running a small telemarketing team. My now friend Aaron has shown me how to be a better person and this was when my life changed from trying to learn sales to just doing sales.
​
Phenix Forex: Wow what can I say I sold investments earned a lot of money learned how to sell from a great salesman and teacher. Due to law changes in investments offshore the doors had to close.
ASV: Employeed Role my brother needed someone to help manage a wrecking yard site so he asked me if wanted a 3-month term role to run the premise as they slowly move two businesses into one. I accepted and have a crash course in a wrecking yard I made it work I learned a lot
​
Vehicle Brocker: This role was calling up vehicle owners and moving the idea of them selling the car to me selling the car.
​
Contract Sales Consultant: I generated cleaning contracts and on-sold them to cleaners, eventually having 2 part-time staff.
​
During this time learning how to:
-
Direct sell
-
Telemarketing
- Create Scripts
- Manage People/Teams
-
Cold calling
-
Leads generation
-
Many styles of selling techniques
-
Closing techniques
​
Eventually Learned that I didn't need to learn to make people like me I need to learn I was the problem. This grew into wanting to learn personality types and selling styles. In turn, learning about myself and changing me in ways I never could imagine something you watch a movie of or read in books ...........
