Chapter 1: Who is Daniel G and what makes him a top sales trainer?
Typically, this podcast takes place in an RV motorhome, but we're in Miami, we got Daniel G here, there's all these events going on, so I wanna catch him because this guy speaks at over 50 to 100 events a year, he's spoken over 700 events, I think the number's higher than that, by the way, and he's trained over two million people about sales, that is his expertise, he lives and breathes it, and you can see it through his social media, it exudes from him, because he loves it, he's passionate about it, because there's the thing,
If you believe in what you're selling, it's rude of you not to sell it. And so this is the person that exemplifies that. So Daniel G, give us a quick two minute bio so we can get straight to the money.
Chapter 2: How did Daniel G start his journey in sales?
Yeah, I mean, I started sales since I was young. By the way, I didn't start sales because I wanted to become a salesperson. Like some people probably look at me now and they're like, oh man, that guy must have been passionate about sales since he was young. You know, I started sales because just like everybody else, it's one of those professions you kind of fall back into, right?
You're not passionate about sales. And then sometimes just like myself, you find products that you like, it turns into love. It turns into passion. Like I almost found my passion in sales at 14 when my parents split up, you know, I had nothing else to do, but, you know, knock on doors and sell products. So I started direct sales at the age of 14 years old.
Um, never stopped since like I took a, I had a bad six month period inside of my life, which was college and university. I always say that was like my bad period. Um, and, But but, you know, after that, I dropped right out at 18 and a half, got right back into B2B sales, did it for about six years, found a gap in the industry very early on.
I was always training sales like when people look at me now, I was doing this since I was like 14 in a warehouse training new sales reps because we had the ability to build a sales team. And I was 14, kind of like Stormy's compensation plan that you were just interviewing. So I was you know, I had the ability to train salespeople when I was young. So I was already great at training sales.
So this was, what I'm doing right now is like my passion project that just now pays me. Like I didn't even expect to become a sales trainer. When I opened up my business, I opened up a sales agency because I found a gap very early on. Kind of maybe when I met you guys, 2016, 2017, I said, oh, this coaching space is going to blow up. Nobody has sales reps.
let me start training my sales reps and get these young guys sales jobs. So before this whole high ticket space was even, I think there was probably one guy beside me back in Canada that had an agency and we started training outsourcing sales reps.
And now, you know, like I said, just because I love what I do, you know, the training thing has just picked up steam because I used to do all the events for free, travel for free, speak for free. And yeah, that's where we're at now. Did a couple million salespeople online and offline and probably well over 700 events at this point. We live on the road.
Live it. Yes. Yeah. And so now after speaking for free, because a lot of people aspire to be a speaker and don't realize that a lot of people actually do speak for free because it helps their personal brand or maybe they have products or maybe they have services or there's other reasons for speaking because it levels them up. But you're getting paid.

Chapter 3: Why is speaking for free a strategic move for sales trainers?
People are paying you 25K, 50K, 100K, sometimes more to speak at their events or their corporate events. Talk about the transition of when you decided, okay, I've spoken at a couple hundred events now for free. I built up this personal brand. I'm not going to speak for free. I'm going to charge 25K, 50K, 100K, et cetera.
You know, the first thing that's interesting that you said that because there's a lot of people that probably come up to you and me and the question is like, how do I become a speaker? And I almost stop people and I say, wait, wait, wait, you're almost starting with like the end in the beginning.
And that's like almost saying to somebody like, hey, Dan, you know, what sport should I pick if I want to become famous? right? It's like, wait, what do you do? And what value can you offer? Because people hire Daniel G. Yes, I get it. I have great energy, but the end of the day, like I narrowed down just sales. Like I never moved anywhere else. I'm, I stuck with sales training.
I show sales training on my social media and people hire me to solve a specific problem. Hey, I got the sales company. Can you come out and train? We have salespeople, we have a sales audience, et cetera. So going back to the question, what was the transition? Um, I guess when people started asking, how much do you charge? And I said, oh, now you're ready to pay.
The real transition for me was, when do you go from charging the hourly rate of what a professional gets paid, which is $1,000 to $5,000 an hour if you're a doctor, lawyer, engineer, because that's your money beliefs inside of life. It's like, okay, a doctor, lawyer, engineer is getting paid $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 if they're great lawyers per hour.
So that's what I was trying to, oh, an hour keynote. Let me charge $3,000. Let me charge $2,000. And that was like, and I love that it's, you know, the money mindset, money Mondays, because that was my trauma. I said, I'm only going to charge based off the hourly rate and not the problem that we solve. And Nate, the money that event or that company is actually going to make.
I never had that thought process. So I was always like 5,000 an hour, or I'd get super happy when I tell my guys in my old office, like 2021, this wasn't too far out of 2022. I'd be like, man, I just charged him 8,000. And they said, yeah, for one hour, you start doing this math breakdown. First of all, you got to travel. You got to take time off the office.
We lose money when we travel, which people don't know as well. Right. And then you start thinking like, shit, what that's, what's that company going to make after I trained their salespeople? It's going to take a couple of sales. So I was charging based off the hour and my trauma with money, not based off the result that I can actually provide them.
And then it's, you know, I had to go through a lot of money trauma and ask myself, why do I charge that? Number one. And then number two, you know, what's the result that I can actually provide to them and give that person a logical ROI as to why I'm worth this. And then the universe also tells you, and the marketplace also tells you what you're worth.

Chapter 4: What strategies does Daniel G suggest for becoming a successful salesperson?
I'm like, yes, but I'm speaking right now. And if anything, if anybody knows anything about branding, because I mastered my branding part, I said, you know, your online game is just as good as your offline game. The more they see us with people offline, the more the online game trusts you. So in the beginning stages, I'm just trying to get in front of people. I didn't care who it was.
Like that was the most important part that social media, if they just see us on podcasts, they're not going to really trust us anymore. So yeah, I just, I let the marketplace, when you send an invoice and you tell them, you know, $15,000 for the hour and they're like, send it over and it gets paid right away. You say- Okay, wait, now I got to, you know, increase it a little bit, right?
Yeah. On the sales side, there's a lot of questions I have there because there's a lot of people that are out there that are now considering getting into sales, but maybe they're scared to pick up the phone or they don't know what product to sell. How does someone decide and get the confidence to go sell a certain product or maybe selling for a coaching, you know, a coach, et cetera?
Yeah, that's a great question. I think, you know, the first thing is in sales, it's almost what we talked about at your pop-up. It's like the confidence part. And I always tell somebody, you know, pick a vehicle that you can have a lot of reps in very early on.
So let's say, for example, whether it's high ticket sales or selling a low ticket product, I wouldn't go to luxury where the product is two, $3 million plus, because you can't get like the pit out of your stomach. You can't talk to a lot of people about a very luxury item. So that way, like, When you're in a lower ticket bracket, $5,000 under, you could talk to a lot of people.
You can make a lot of cold calls. You could shake a lot of hands. I want a product that can serve a lot of people. That way I can get in the reps of just approaching, you know, dealing with early on objections. So anything that is very low ticket, number one. Number two, where you actually resonate either with the vehicle or the pathway. Like some people...
you know, they pick things where it drains them to sell. It's almost like content. When people are creating content, I say, hey, does your content feel like it's draining you and it's a literally drain or do you feel like it's a fountain and you could be pouring into it? So when you're looking at a product, figure out something where number one, you can get a lot of reps in very early on.
This is like for the first year to two years, something where cold calling's heavy, right? Even if you're working for an entrepreneur, ask the entrepreneur, hey, by the way, do you have untouched leads for the last three years? Door knocking, very heavy. Something like Stormy's business where you could shake people's hands. Something where you could talk a lot of people.
So someone's going down the rabbit hole, they're searching around and they find, okay, this is the one I want to go sell for this coach or this product or this service or for roofing or solar insurance or all the different options. But I want to stand out. How can I stand out in the office or how can I stand out in the group chat to be one of the better salespeople?

Chapter 5: How can salespeople effectively handle objections and follow-ups?
It's like if a guy approaches late and she's like, Oh, I have a boyfriend. Right. Sometimes that's the same way that goes home. It's like, Oh, I wish I had an amazing boyfriend, but they know that's the easiest way just to get a guy off. Right. Same thing with customers. We are customers, by the way, we are prospects. We tell people this 24 seven.
So I said, even if you're not trained in sales and you want to see how objections move and you can attempt one more time, because the goal of a sale is just stay in the conversation. The goal is just to stay in it. Like you don't have to be a great closer as much as my brand is like world-class closer. I'm like, you have to be a world-class conversationalist, stay inside of the conversation.
That's the best salespeople in the world. So One day on social media, I was making this video with Steve and I was about to go into role play with one of my guys at the office. And I was about to, I can't remember what objection was. It was like, okay, I need to think about it. And something happened in my mind where I said, you know, forget about this. And I scrapped it away and it was live.
I said, what if you guys just said two words to get back inside the conversation? Like you could say, yeah, think about it. What else? I might just two words, usually the prospect will be like, yeah, and last time, you know, one of my friends, just by two words, just by being like, what else? Because you're not putting gasoline on the first objection that they give you.
And a goal of a great salesperson when you stand out to go back to your question is the person that could stay in the conversation longest. So usually when you're just like, yeah, don't worry about it. So what else do you got going on? They will talk. The objections will always move. And the greatest salespeople in the world.
I mean, now it's harder when I look at the sales market prior, before to now. Now everybody's in this aggression to close money. But before there was great sales reps. Like when our parents, you know, were in sales, when they were car sales, real estate sales, older people that you meet that done billions inside of real estate, they were like lambs. They were very calm, cool.
They would ask you, how's your family? What's new with life? Now... we don't have people that can create conversations anymore. So I say the goal of becoming a great sales rep, right now I'm in lion mode. That means like I'm in real aggression mode because the cameras are on, we're training. But I think when you're in sales, you should sell like a lamb.
And that's the person that's like, yeah, don't even worry. What else? What do you guys got going on for the holidays? And I think that's hard for people nowadays because they're just thinking about the commission, but they forget that it's a person on the other end. So I say, you think like the lion, but you sell like the lamb. Mm-hmm. That's the best line inside of sales.
And I've created that because I said everybody's, back then when you look at old salespeople, they were always lambs. Like I meet some of my friends now, 65 years old, done a billion in real estate. I met this guy two months ago. And now I know why he sold a billion in real estate because I could see the way his language is. He's like, so how's your mom doing? Tell your mother I said hi.

Chapter 6: What should one consider when choosing a sales role in today's market?
That signals a red flag for me because I'm like, okay, this person spends more on themselves than they spend more on their business. So the longevity of the business, what he's basically showing his company or her company is, I don't care about the longevity of business based off the way I invest my money right now.
Not like every single action and every single investment an entrepreneur does right now is a reflection of where they want to be inside of the future. Even for myself, sometimes I'm like, why did my personal expenses outweigh the business expenses? Would I even go work for myself if I was a salesperson? Because I got caught up in that when I was young.
I love when you made the videos, just like last week, you posted a video where you said, you're like, buy one watch. Buy one car. People don't get this because after a while, it's just like us doing a stage. You become desensitized. It's just like the car, but that entrepreneur thinks like seven cars is going to fulfill them, right?
And then they go crazy on personal expenses when in the meantime, most people that you see that have those things, those are just a byproduct because they spend so much inside of their business. So I think for me, again, going back to the question is just look at the past of that entrepreneur. Look at the way the investor dollars right now and look at their branding and marketing.
And a good point that you also brought up for sales leaders when they're hiring salespeople, the reason why you don't want to hire one person from the other perspective is because then you don't know if it's ever a process problem. If you just hire one person and Sally comes in and sells for you and then Sally does amazing, then you think you got a good sales process because Sally's doing amazing.
But maybe Sally's like somebody like Daniel Jin, they have 15 years of building blocks and they sell plants or they sell ice to an Eskimo. It's great to hire three people because then you know, oh, Sally's shitting the bed and these people are doing amazing. Sally, we have a problem.
Because maybe you can never really figure out your process just based off one person if you're serving off one person. And you can never point fingers either. You can never be like, hey, you're doing bad or you're doing good, right?
So I think it's very important from a safety aspect and at the same time to figure out your processes, to figure out if you actually have a good process and you're not basing off of personality. The worst... The worst thing you could do as a leader is to hire and run your company off somebody's personality because personality is not duplicatable inside of the business.
So what I do is called free, cheap, affordable, holy shit. Free is podcast, social media, things like that. Cheap is... Aspire tour, you know, $50, $100 tickets, elevator nights. People can buy little programs for $100, books for $20. Affordable is $6,000 for Operation Blacksite, $20K for different things, $5K, $10K type things. And then holy shit is $100,000, right?
