    Episode 58: How Cap Hernandez Turned Rejection Into a Sales System That Works

    What if your biggest heartbreak rejection became the reason you mastered sales? 👀 In this 58th episode of the Scale You Podcast, we sit down with Cap Hernandez, a creative entrepreneur, sales captain, Canva Ambassador, and founder of Uncapped Digital Marketing Inc. who turned heartbreak, 100 cold calls a day, and years of rejection into a powerful mission: helping introverts sell with confidence. From selling credit cards at 15 to leading digital marketing teams, and now coaching founders and freelancers on LinkedIn strategy and introvert-friendly sales systems, Cap shares how he built a brand that resonates deeply (without pretending to be an extrovert). If you’ve ever said: “I have LinkedIn but I don’t use it.” “I post but no one engages.” “I hate selling.” This episode is for you! 🔥 Connect with Cap here: 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/caphernandez/ 👉 https://www.facebook.com/TheSalesIntrovert/ Let's connect: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leanlailacaba Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leanlailacaba LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leanlailacaba TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@leanlailacaba Website: https://2xyou.com/
