    The Sales Machine Behind a $20M Business (Closers Earn $40K/Month)

    What does a real high-ticket sales operation actually look like? Not theory. Not hype. Not gurus selling to beginners. In this episode of The Remote Sales Podcast, I sit down with Marti Amos, founder of The Professional Builder — a business that’s grown from $3M to $21M+ and now employs 100+ staff globally. They spend $250K–$300K per month on ads, generate 5,000+ leads per month, and run a world-class remote sales team where: • Closers earn $25K–$40K/month • Top closers earn more than the CEO • Sales reps work 100% remotely • Deals are $40K–$50K high-ticket offers This episode pulls back the curtain on how a real sales machine is built — and what it actually takes to win inside it. We break down: ✅ How a $20M coaching company really sells ✅ The exact sales roles (MDR, SDR, triage, closer) ✅ What high-ticket closers actually earn ✅ How paid ads replace cold outreach ✅ Why conviction matters more than scripts ✅ The “surgeon frame” & anti-selling mindset ✅ How to get hired into elite sales teams ✅ Why sales is the ultimate career leverage skill If you’re: • Exploring high-ticket sales • Already in sales but want a real opportunity • Tired of low-quality offers and weak leadership This episode shows what good looks like. 👉 FREE $1,000-a-Day Remote Sales Roadmap https://go.remotesalesinstitute.com/lm-a-lp 👉 Want to start (or level up) your remote sales career? https://bit.ly/rsidcyt 👉 Connect With Us Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/remotesalesinstituteofficial/ Kris: https://www.instagram.com/kriscochrane/ Website: https://remotesalesinstitute.com/ - 👉FREE $1,000-a-day Remote Sales Roadmap (how to make $1k-a-day as a remote closer)👈 https://go.remotesalesinstitute.com/lm-a-lp 👉Want to start a remote sales career?

    Nick Schweizer was a burnt out recruiter in Melbourne… waking up dreading Mondays, feeling trapped, and convinced this was “just life” until retirement. Then he found remote sales. In just a few months, Nick went from recruitment burnout to closing high-ticket deals remotely — earning $8.5K in his first 3 weeks, $12.5K in month two, and $15K+ in month three… while working a normal routine and being home for dinner with his family.
