Guest Bio:In order not to come off too “braggy” I’ll probably leave some of my accomplishments out of this as well. Just know, I’m a BAMF who is not afraid to fail or take action. I’ve never had a job with a salary. I’ve always worked hourly + commission or just straight commission. I’ve been in sales since I was 13 years old. I started out selling car washes in Plano, Texas. I became a record setting service advisor and I still hold sales and car count records at the wash where I worked. Because of my work ethic at the car wash, I was offered a job in mortgages, by one of the regular customers. She noticed my sales skills and offered me to become her apprentice at a mortgage company she owned. After some reluctance, I accepted. Within 30 days of working for her, I had made as much money as what used to take me 3 months at the car wash. I was hooked.I did mortgages all the way up until 2010. Matter of fact, in 2009, the worst year on record for the industry, I closed 183 loans, still going strong. In 2010 however, the Government passed the Dodd Frank Act and due to my felony gun charges, I was unable to get a Federal mortgage license. I went from being one of the top producing mortgage people on the planet, to nothing. Overnight.I was tired of working in places that controlled my income so I started my own business. I started managing social media for local real estate agents. I built the business to a 6 figure a year business, and then burned it down. I hated seeing other people get results in the industry I was forced out of. It killed me. So I shut it down.During that time, I managed social media for over 70 people, I learned a lot. I gained prolific social media experience and I wanted to teach what I learned. Which is how Hardcore Closer was born. I decided I wanted to teach others how to sell online, instead of just doing it for them. This would allow me to reach more people and help change more lives.That’s exactly what I did. In January of 2012, I registered HardcoreCloser.com and started teaching loan officers how to use social media to gain business from real estate agents. In the first year I did over 150k in gross sales. Year 2 we did over 300k in gross sales. As of 2016, which is year 4, we’ve closed over 2 million in gross sales. Now I teach people from all sales fields across all industries, how to sell online.
