How does a pool cleaner go from $35 an hour to a six figure base in 10 months?

It’s all because of one decisison… and he almost skipped the call that started it all.

If you feel stuck in a job that pays the bills but doesn’t fill your cup, this remote sales success story shows you what is possible.

Lachlan used to spend his days cleaning pools, listening to Spotify through his headphones. Then one day, the Remote Sales podcast randomly started playing - and he was hooked.

Ten months later, he works from home as an account manager with a six figure base and still earns commission.

You’ll hear how Lachy got hired and then ghosted in his first remote closing role, how he sold knee pain rehab over the phone, and hit his first $10K month

We also explore why you don’t need to be an expert to sell high ticket offers, and why base salary roles in remote sales exist (most people think it’s commission only).

If you want a career change, more flexibility and more control over your income, press play now. Lachy’s story might be the push you need to show up for your own call.

Twelve months ago, my guest was a crane operator earning over 200K a year, and he still wanted out because while the money was great - the hours were not.

In this episode of the Remote Sales Podcast, I sit down with Jarrod Vertigan.

He swapped the crane for a remote closer role. On his first day with a new offer, he took six appointments and closed four and made $2,000 in commission in two days.

The road from job site to closer’s chair has some big bumps along the way, which Jarrod experiences and openly shares.

We also dig into why construction skills are sales skills and why starting as a setter makes you a better closer.

Jarrod shares why sales is personal growth you get paid for, what it really takes to chase a 50K month, and what it feels like to finally have weekends off.

If you want a work from home sales career and your time back, hit play now and hear how a tradie built a high ticket sales career from the ground up.

If you only apply for remote sales jobs on SEEK, your odds of landing the role sit around 1 in 1,000.

You send application after application and you hear nothing back. The thing is, the problem may not be your resume, it may be where you look.

In this episode, I sit down with Em Pescott, founder of Promotable You.

Em’s coached over 3,000 people to get hired. She also just hired a sales rep through the Remote Sales Institute. So she sees the job hunt from both sides of the table.

Em says around 80% of roles never get advertised, because companies fill them from inside, through recruiters, or through a simple chat. This means there’s a “hidden” job market, and Em shows you how to get into it.

She also shares the biggest job interview mistake she sees, and her "show your workings" fix.

If you want a remote sales job, a career change, or your next step up, this episode hands you a plan you can start following today.
