    Most Reps Misunderstand Referrals | Ep 52

    Most salespeople never lose because they’re bad at selling. They lose because they never learn how to scale themselves. If you’ve ever felt the pressure of carrying everything on your back… If you’ve built income but not freedom… If you’ve sold well but felt trapped inside your own success… This episode is for you. In this conversation, Ashton and I break down the real shift that separates high-earning salespeople from real leaders: referrals, systems, and leverage. Not hype. Not scripts. Not motivation. The boring, repeatable stuff that quietly compounds while everyone else burns out. Referrals aren’t luck. They’re not charisma. They’re not something you “hope” happens. They’re a system — and most reps never build one. We talk about why the best salespeople stop knocking doors, chasing leads, and grinding endlessly… and instead learn how to turn one sale into many. How to create “second money.” How to get paid again and again from the same effort. How to stop selling solo and start building momentum. This episode pulls back the curtain on: Why most reps never get referrals (and why it’s not what you think) The psychology that makes people want to refer you Why asking matters more than talent How empathy beats pressure every time The subtle difference between influence and manipulation Why transparency actually increases trust and closes more deals How leaders think differently than producers The moment a salesman has to decide: stay comfortable, or scale If you’re making money but feel capped… If you’re leading people but feel overwhelmed… If you’re recruiting but can’t keep momentum… This conversation will hit a nerve. Because the truth is: Grinding harder isn’t the answer. Selling more hours isn’t the answer. Doing everything yourself isn’t the answer. Systems are. Referrals are. Leadership is. This isn’t just a solar conversation. These principles apply to sales, recruiting, business, and life. If you want to move from operator to owner — from rep to leader — this is the shift you’ve been missing. Watch this with an open mind. Listen closely. Then ask yourself one question: Are you building income… or are you building something that lasts? Subscribe for more conversations on sales, leadership, referrals, and scale. If this hits, you already know what to do. — Nick

    How to Weekly Plan to Increase Your Income as a Sales Manager | EP 51

    Weekly planning is the single most overlooked skill holding salespeople, sales leaders, and entrepreneurs back. In this video, I break down the exact weekly planning system I’ve used to go from being a top-producing sales rep to building and leading a scalable organization. Over the last decade, this framework has helped me generate over $5M in personal commissions, win a Golden Door Award (top 0.01% of door-to-door sales), recruit and train hundreds of reps through Sparta Solar, and build a life that’s aligned across business, fitness, faith, and family. After working with thousands of sales reps, managers, and leaders — and learning directly from top performers and billionaires — I’ve seen one consistent pattern: the lack of weekly planning is the #1 reason people stay stuck. Sales success isn’t about working harder. It’s about being intentional. Selling is roughly 80% mindset and 20% tactics, and the way you enter your week determines whether you operate from a proactive, confident mindset or a reactive, chaotic one. In this video, I walk you step-by-step through the weekly planning process I use personally and inside my company. This is the same structure I’ve borrowed, refined, and applied from some of the highest performers in the world. 🔑 What you’ll learn in this video: Why weekly planning is the highest ROI hour you can invest each weekHow to shift from reactive energy to proactive executionHow to identify and track the right KPIs for sales growthThe difference between inputs vs outputs (and why elite salespeople obsess over inputs)How to review your week efficiently without overanalyzingHow to set clear sales, personal, fitness, and growth targetsHow to time block your calendar for selling, leadership, and self-developmentThe difference between working in the business, on the business, and on yourselfHow to track warm and cold prospects to consistently stack your calendarWhy systems beat motivation — every timeWhether you’re a sales rep trying to break through a plateau, a manager struggling with inconsistency, or a leader looking to scale without burnout, this framework will give you clarity, structure, and momentum. This channel is dedicated to sales, leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal development. If you want to follow my journey from sales rep to CEO — and learn the systems that actually scale — you’re in the right place. 👉 Subscribe for more content on sales systems, leadership development, recruiting, and personal growth. 👉 Implement this weekly planning habit and watch what happens to your results.
