In 7th and 8th grade, I was selling 4 boxes of costco candy per day at school. It wasn’t a kid in sight that didnt want to spend a dollar on candy. I made a fortune for my age. In higschool, I was averaging about $2k/day in revenue sold, selling sneakers and apparel at the busiest footlocker in the world; Time Square NYC! During college, I became a life insurance agent where I learned so much and have had great sucess as well. Post college, I started a management company and my own vending business. I realized how much I liked management and decided to apply for the MT job with Enterprise to learn more about management and how to run a successful business. This was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my career. The things I learned, the skills I gained with the MT program has made me so much better in my career and in my personal life. As an MT and now assistant manager, I do alot. Operations management, finance management, personel management, sales etc. Almost 2 years later, out of everything I do, you know what I enjoy most about the job? SALES. As an MT selling the protections and getting upgrades was my favorite part. I stayed at the top of the matrix. As an assistant manager, guess what has been my favorite part? Coaching, training and developing sales. This is what I call FULL CIRCLE. I am ecstatic to start my journey in Car Sales. I am going to EAT!!! Some people that stood out in my career that I want to thank are: Justin Ramos Walter Poole Karli Jennings

Walking in a Distributor's Shoes: The Key to Successful Supplier-Distributor Partnerships The biggest mistake suppliers make when working with distributors is assuming they understand how distributors operate without direct experience. After spending 15 years in distribution—including roles at Southern Glazer's, Young's Market Company (RNDC), and Epic Wines and Spirits—before transitioning to the supplier side, I've gained unique insights into this crucial relationship. Think of it like sports coaching: the most effective coaches typically played the game at some level. While exceptions exist, having "walked the walk" provides invaluable perspective. I've witnessed countless suppliers attempt to "manage" their distributors without understanding the daily challenges of "dragging a bag" or merchandising retail accounts at 4 AM. The truth is that distributors don't want to be managed—they want to be partnered with. Successful brand building happens WITH distributors, not THROUGH them. Suppliers who spend time in the field, making sales calls alongside distributor reps, and developing their own trade relationships consistently outperform those who simply issue quotas and demands from afar. For suppliers looking to strengthen their distributor relationships, I strongly recommend prioritizing candidates with distribution experience when hiring. While success without this background is possible, those who understand the distributor's perspective are better equipped to foster the strong partnerships essential for long-term brand growth. #WineAndSpirits #DistributorPartnership #SalesLeadership

This one goes out to all the sales managers 🫶 John Wooden coached UCLA mens basketball to 10 national championships and is widely regarded as the best college basketball coach of all time (miss me with those Coach K arguments) 😁 Every year, on the first day of practice, the very first thing he'd coach his players on was how to put their socks on... for real. Lew Alcindor, Bill Walton, and every other five star recruit all began their careers at UCLA the same way, by learning the best way to put their socks on. Coach Wooden knew that to be a productive player, you need to be healthy. To be healthy you need to be able to run. You need healthy feet to be able to run. If you have blisters on your feet, it's going to slow you down, and maybe even put you on the IR if they're bad enough. If that happens, productivity and effectiveness tanks. That's why Coach Wooden always spent that first practice making sure his players knew how to put their socks on in a way that would keep them from getting blisters. For sales, time management = socks. Before a rep can get better at objection handling, demoing, closing, pipeline MGMT, etc they need the bandwidth needed to devote to acquiring those skills. Help them with their socks, and everything else becomes easier. ***************************************** 𝑯𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒐𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔!

Multi Part Post Alert - I have been in some form of sales for the past 22 years and its the end of the road for me. I have been very fortunate in my sales career with having won more than I have lost and had a solid home at Johnson Controls but I felt that it was time to call it quits. Life takes you down a lot of different roads for a lot of different reasons but I came to a crossroad and simply couldn't not take this turn. My wife and I decided to become franchisees and are now operating partners in three Jersey Mikes franchises. Total 180 from what I have done my entire life but I (we) are excited for what the future holds. To all those who have helped foster my sales career and helped to make me as successful as I am today, thank you. From the bottom of my heart thank you. This current turning point would not have been possible without my sales career and those who impacted it. ll leave those who are green to sales (and even some of you wiley veterans out there) and stumble across this post with some parting thoughts after two plus decades in sales. I can't tell you how many bullshit sales tactics classes, sales philosophies seminars, sales trainings etc that I have sat through. Most of them are pure and utter horse shit. Sales is as hard or as easy as you wanna make it. Choose to make it easy. See my recipe for easy below. In order for a deal to be good, fair and just there needs to be: 1. A win for the customer 2. A win for the rep 3. A win for the company All three won't always be there (and times may necessitate that only 1 or 2 of the three are) but if they are then you did good. Part 2 Next Post........ #sales

16 years ago, Steph Curry taught me the most valuable lesson in my sales career… On Saturday, he gave the French national team that same lesson. Let me explain: In 2008, I was a second year college basketball player at Emory, a division III school in Atlanta. My first year, we finished dead last in our conference. So, the school decided to hire a new head coach who was a former assistant at Davidson, a larger division I school in North Carolina. His first season with the team, he implemented the exact playbook, and system that they ran at Davidson. Same plays Same values Same practice structure The result: Instead of last in our conference, we finished the season 10th… out of 12. It felt like losing had become habitual, and all the hope that came from having a new coach was gone. Before the start of the next season, our coach arranged for us to go to Davidson for an exhibition game against his former team. The idea was we could see what our system could look like when done right. We knew all their plays, all their sets, and what every hand signal meant. Couple that with the optimism of still being undefeated that season (we’d only played one other game), and we thought we could at least be competitive and give ourselves the chance to win. We didn’t win. In fact we lost real bad. They had this scrawny little shooter on their team named Stephen Curry. The world didn’t know about him yet, but by the end of that game, we definitely knew who he was. He finished the game with 8 threes and there were whispers around the gym that he may have a chance at going pro someday. The next day, we hung around campus and got a chance to see them practice. That’s when we realized the reason they beat us so badly… It wasn’t just because they had Steph Curry on their team. It was because we had a winning playbook, while they had a winning culture. We couldn’t believe how hard they worked in practice. They were doing the same drills for the same amount of time. But the intensity and attention to detail was 10x anything we'd ever experienced. That’s when we learned the law of compounding performance. It’s not about how good of a system you have, its about whether you can run that system at a high level for a sustained period of time. If you can, you'll give your team an unfair advantage that's hard to catch up to. That following season, our team’s level of play took a huge jump. We internalized our goals We held each other accountable We started celebrating the small wins We reinforced our values at every opportunity We had clear expectations of what good looked like The result: We finished 5th in the conference, and by the end of my fourth year we were fighting for the top spot. If you're a sales leader who wants to scale your revenue function, don't focus on systems, playbooks, or SOP's. Look at your culture. Ask yourself "What do winning habits look like?" And build an environment that supports those habits over time.
