He let me walk out and I'd sold the deal, right?
I brought him a deal next, but I complained about the second lead.
Two days later, he pulled me out of a sales meeting and fired me on the spot.
And I was just good in the way that the way that I say this, I was just good enough at selling to convince him to give me one more shot.
And that was basically the day that, that changed my life.
I, I realized that if I wasn't on a system, um, that this guy wasn't going to keep me and I don't have any of the prospects.
I'm three-time college dropout and you know, I've already burned out another career and I'm
I better give this a shot.
And best decision I ever made, best having him fire me for a terrible attitude was also, I think it worked out really well for both of us because it was the spark I needed to really turn things around.
I mean, that is the most perfect way to look at it as far as I'm concerned because if they're coming back, they realize that they lost an opportunity and credit to them.
Even if they did need to go, they realized, okay, this was actually my shot or at least this is something that I shouldn't squander.

And I was like, first of all, you're reading off a list of scripted questions.
Our culture is we make money.
We don't have beanbag chairs or pinball machines or anything like that.
We just we make money.
And that was actually wrong.
