"Summer sales is the single greatest method for achieving serious wealth in the shortest amount of time."

No Fluff

There's few things I despise more than feeling cheated. Whether it's playing a competitive sport, getting less than what I feel is deserved, or not having the full truth disclosed, it feels very frustrating. Unfortunately, amongst the multiple summer sales companies, the truth can often be exaggerated and hurt an honest individual looking for an opportunity to make life-changing money selling door-to-door. So let me give it to you straight, no bias, no mixed intentions, just me giving you the facts on what you can expect to make with summer sales from real-life examples.

Zach - Junior in High School

Zach never considered himself to be the most outgoing of his friends. As a matter of fact, he really didn't have a ton of friends and he was finishing up his junior year of high school. His brother had done summer sales for a few years and encouraged him to sacrifice his "senior summer" to go work with him and sell pest control during his summer break. Only 17 years old, he had hardly any experience with sales, but he trusted his brother could help him so he put himself out there and committed to selling 100 accounts during the 2.5 months he was there.

After Zach's first week of selling, he was still at 0 sales on the summer. Trying to stay positive he spent an entire day with his brother and was amazed how simple he made it seem to get a sale. One of the big problems he realized he struggled with was stiffening up and feeling tense anytime he started his pitch. Instead of casually talking, he felt rigid and was focused more on saying the right words instead of paying attention to the customer. Zach practiced being more himself and listening to the customer so he could respond appropriately. His next day, he sold 2 accounts. From that day on, Zach would consistently sell 1 or more each day while achieving his record high of 10 accounts in a single day!

Zach's Performance

  • Accounts sold: 101
  • Income: $15,000
  • Won several incentives including Bose headphones

Raul - Brazilian with Accent

Raul was born and raised in Brazil. Having moved to the U.S. only 4 years prior, Raul had spent the majority of his past years working as a janitor, car cleaner, and lyft driver. While working his multiple jobs, Raul was approached to try out summer sales with his friend. He still had an accent, didn't know the pest control pitch, was quitting his jobs, and would need to provide for his wife and 1 year old son. Where one person would see this as extremely risky, Raul saw this as a huge opportunity to change his family's life.

His first day selling it was freezing cold, rainy, and he went home with nothing. The next day was more of the same. Where most people would start to wonder whether or not this was worth it, Raul NEEDED to make this work, so he buckled down and practiced the pitch relentlessly. The next day, Raul made his FIRST sale! That was all it took. Raul went on to be the top rookie in his office and 5th overall rookie in the company, surpassing his original goal of 250 sales. Raul's greatest strength was his fierce competitiveness. If you were to ask Raul his impressions of summer sales he would say, "It's changed my life."

Raul's Performance

  • Accounts sold: 330
  • Income: $70,000
  • Was #1 rookie in the office and #5 rookie in the company

Tyler - Author's Story

This is my personal experience over the past 5 years of selling. I was introduced to summer sales by a buddy of mine who told me he was planning on selling pest control that summer. He said that it was more than possible to make $10,000 in one summer! For me, the idea of making $10k in just one summer was absurd, so I bit. I had no idea how to pitch, overcome objections, or sell anything for that matter. My first 3 days were honestly horrible. With some persuasion from my Dad, I stayed out and it turned out to be the best career decision I'd ever made.

Greatest Lessons Learned

  • My first summer would have been ENTIRELY different had I taken time before going out that summer to practice and learn the pitch. Had I dedicated time early on, I would have arrived to the summer a leg up, and could have enjoyed my first month much more!
  • Be the best! Before leaving for the summer I've always set goals, but was never dead-set on hitting them. Having surrounded myself around top-performers I have learned they all have one thing in common — they are fully committed to being the best!
  • Find your routine. Every successful salesman I know is religious about their daily routines. They usually are up by a certain time each day, do some sort of exercise, and are practicing their pitch to be better daily.

Tyler's Experience

  • Accounts sold: Worst Summer - 128 / Best Summer - 431
  • Income: Worst Summer - $15,000 / Best Summer - $143,000
  • Published book on Door-to-Door Sales & started his own Pest Control Company EcoVibe

Summer sales truly is one of the greatest opportunities for individuals to make a ridiculous amount of money in a short amount of time. By preparing now, you will become a top performer and make the most from this life changing experience.
