She's great.

But the idea of me being a salesman, that's like, that was like a bad word in our house.

And she's like, you know, my dad's an engineer.

My sister's a teacher.

Like...

And so she's kind of like, you know, oh, so you only get paid if you sell something.

Okay.

And anyway, so I keep working my way up and I end up moving to a different mattress company.

And then I become kind of like a top performer there.

And, you know, I become the guy that they dispatch to, you know, there's a mattress store on every corner.

Like if one's performing poorly, they'll send me there and say, is it the area or is it the salesperson?

So I'll go there and I'll be like, I don't know, the salesman's just weak.

I did $20,000 this week out of there.

And I just keep moving my way up.

I go from mattresses to furniture to a bunch of different... And, you know, one thing I learned is with the exceptions of necessities, the higher ticket... Necessities being cars, mattresses, basically everything we talked about before.

The higher the ticket, the higher commission you tend to make.

And I'm still a salesperson today.

I believe that...

if it wasn't for persuasion, I wouldn't be where I am today.

And, and to backtrack a little bit while at the mattress store is when I met my wife, best thing that ever happened to me.
