    Think you’re too old to start a new career in high-ticket sales? Tom changed careers at 50, became a remote appointment setter, and discovered that his age was one of his biggest strengths. In this episode, Kris sits down with Tom Karamzalis to share his transition from business owner and tennis coach into remote high-ticket sales and appointment setting. After years of running businesses, managing staff, and carrying the constant stress of entrepreneurship, Tom began looking for a different path - one that could offer strong income potential, location freedom, and more time to actually be present with his family. What started as an attempt to improve his own sales skills eventually opened his eyes to a completely different career opportunity.
