My Door-to-door sales strategy that allowed me to become the top salesman in my company… at 14
The story I’m about to share with you not only changed the game for me back then, but it’s been one of the single biggest lessons that’s allowed me to crush it in network marketing for almost 20 years now and has allowed me to become the top salesman in multiple companies.
I got my first sales job at 14 selling newspapers door-to-door.
And boy did I suck.
Jimmy was my trainer. He was 16, heavyset (which will matter here in just a moment) and this kid was so good he could sell reading glasses to the blind.
I followed him around for two nights and watched him pitch.
Smooth as silk.
He had no fear, built rapport immediately, flowed right into the presentation and seemed to be able to overcome just about every objection that came up. There was a reason they chose Jimmy to be the trainer.
Then on the 3rd night, it was my turn to go it alone.
I was incredibly nervous but felt I learned enough to become the top salesman for that night.
Door after door after door I screwed it up. I finished the night with a goose egg… that’s right – zero sales.
I remember thinking I would never have what it took to become the top salesman… or even get ONE sale. I almost quit.
But I persisted on and eventually, I got to the point where I could get through the presentations, overcome some objections and in some cases even make some sales.
There were 6-8 of us who they’d pick up in a big van, drop us off in different neighborhoods and then pick us up at the end of the night and we’d tally up everyone’s sales.
They ran a contest each night. Whoever sold the most subscriptions would win some kind of prize. It was usually something like $ 10 or a gift certificate somewhere.
Each and every night ended up with yours truly being disappointed because I literally NEVER finished #1. I got beat every night by the other kids. (Jimmy won more than anyone else by far)
Well, I may have sucked as a salesman, but I was hyper-competitive even back then. It pissed me off so bad that I got beat night after night I was thinking about how I could possibly win and become the top salesman?
Walking from door-to-door for 3-4 hours a night you have lots of time to think.
It finally hit me.
Jimmy, not being in the best shape, moved pretty slow. I was always a skinny kid and in pretty good shape.
I thought to myself, maybe if I RUN from door-to-door and just talk to more people, I can beat Jimmy.
So that’s exactly what I did. I started sprinting from door to door. Considering that half the people didn’t even answer the door, you can talk to a hell of a lot more people when you run.
And guess what started to happen?
Not every night, but every once in awhile, I would win the nightly top sales award.
I had found a way to become the top salesman for the night!
It felt so good!
Did I become the top salesperson on those nights because I was a better salesperson?
Obviously not.
Jimmy was way better of a salesman than I ever hoped to be.
I beat him, even though in comparison I sucked, simply because I talked to way more people every night.
When I got into network marketing, I sucked just as bad as I did as a newspaper salesman.
If you know my story, you know I struggled for 5 long and painful years. At one point I was homeless and sleeping in my little, red, beat up Honda Civic bathing in gas station bathrooms selling above ground swimming pools.
I may have been a little bit slow, but when I finally decided to get it through my thick skull that it’s simply a numbers game, THEN I started to win.
In the past 19 years, I’ve become the top salesman, the #1 income earner in three companies NOT because I’m the best closer, the best presenter, or the best of anything.
I became #1 because I worked the numbers MASSIVELY.
I got rejected MASSIVELY.
Sure, I’ve learned to master every major skill in our profession, but you can be the very best in the world and you’ll get beat ALL DAY LONG by the person who may have less skill, but is willing to talk to 5 times more people.
If you suck right now, remember this…
What you lack in skill, you make up for in numbers.
On a skill level from 1-10, I don’t care if you’re a 2 or a 3… You can still beat the person who is a 9 or a 10 if you’re willing to talk to 5 times more people.
And don’t worry, if you’re continuing to invest in yourself to learn the skills, you’ll get mastery fast if you’re willing to do the work.
So…
Go do the work.

In my most recent blog post, I talked about the best network marketing books to dominate 2020 (see HERE)
Today I want to give you the second area of expertise you must master to reach the highest levels in our profession.
The Mastery of Communication Skills in Network Marketing
Our profession is all about dealing with people and if your people skills are not on point, it will cost you a fortune.
Especially considering the fact that we are building a volunteer army.
It’s your people skills that will lead to increased enrollments, activity and retention.
Similarly, it’s also your lack of communication skills in network marketing that will lead to lower enrollments, less activity, and attrition.
Strangely enough, this is the one category that is the biggest blind spot for most network marketers.
People mistakingly think they don’t need help with this. But I’m telling you…
No matter how good you think your people skills are, you can be much better!
People buy from, and do business with, those they know, like and trust and there are some very specific techniques to make yourself more likable and trustworthy.
My top book recommendations to increase your communication skills in network marketing
This is not a book, but a DVD program that comes with a workbook. In this program, Marc Accetta breaks down the 4 personality types based on the colors. I learned the colors early in my career and when I applied it, it was like magic. To be a pro, you definitely want to understand the personality types and how to use them to motivate and sell.
#3.) How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with People by Les Giblin https://amzn.to/37zWm7i
If you’ve ever struggled with a lack of confidence in your communication ability, this book is a must-read. I read this when I was 18 years old but by the pool when I was working as a lifeguard.
At the time, I felt like I was a lousy communicator and many of the specific strategies I learned from this book are strategies I still use today.
Goblin is so good that he gest 2 spaces on this list. This book, originally written in 1968, has sold over 2 million copies and has been translated into 20 different languages. This book is simple, to the point and a very quick read. In fact, it’s worth reading several times.
This book is specifically about how to use positive reinforcement to bring out the best in people.
Imagine knowing how to communicate with every new recruit, your kids or coworkers to bring out the absolute best in them.
LOVE this book.
Read these 5 books (well, 4 and a DVD program) and you’ll be well on your way to being one of the best communicators out there. I can’t stress enough how important this is to your success.

Let’s tackle belief/mastering mindset in network marketing.
Simply put, if you can’t master the inner-workings of your mind, you will be highly unlikely to master building a network.
Another way to put it is this…
Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world.
If your inner world is consumed by scarcity, lack, dis-belief, lack of confidence and negativity in general, your outer world will be consumed by the same.
Conversely, if your inner world is consumed by abundance, faith, determination, confidence and positivity in general, your outer world will be consumed by the same.
This is an area you must master not only for yourself but also for those you end up mentoring along the way.
The “inner game” is not something most of us ever learned in school and likely the most important category for us to master to have a happy, healthy and abundant life.
Top book recommendations for mastering belief in network marketing
One of the best selling personal development books of all time. Napoleon Hill was commissioned by Andrew Carnegie, likely the wealthiest man alive at the time, to interview the wealthiest leaders of the time. It would have been the equivalent in today’s world of interviewing Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffet and the like to interview them on what their biggest keys to success were as it relates to their mindset. I’ve read this more times than I can count and it was, in fact, the first personal development book I ever read.
This one is a super quick read. It’s not exactly written the same way we speak today, but nonetheless, it’s one of the most solid books ever written on the mindset that it takes to become successful.
This is one that no matter how many times you read it, you’ll continue to get new insights that will trigger an ah-ha moment for you. There are some very specific principles here that directly relate to network marketing. In fact, my mentor had me memorize a quote in this book when I first started working with him. In the first 30 pages or so, you’ll know why when you read the quote that starts with “It’s good to honor the leader.”
This has been my #1 resource for understanding the science of the mind. By understanding behavioral psychology which you’ll learn in the this book, you’ll be able to much more effectively lead your teams to produce. Don’t read this like a regular book… read it like you’re going to have to give a book report when you’re done. This book is gold!
Harv Eker built one of the largest seminar companies in the world. After reading this book, it was no surprise to me as to why he experienced such tremendous success. Make sure you have a notebook and highlighter ready because this book is filled with golden nuggets.
There are a ton of other books, but there’s are my favorites. I’ve read each of them multiple times and they’ve all been a key to my success. I’d love to hear your thoughts after you’ve read them!
I’ll be back with the 4th category you will want to master to become a network marketing professional.
