The Burnt-Out Hospitality Manager Who Became a Remote Closer in Under a Year
You don’t need four years at uni to change careers. Jeremy did it in under twelve months.
Now he closes deals from the office, from home, and even from a villa in Bali.
Jeremy spent years managing hospitality venues which involved late nights, one day off a week, and holidays only in the quiet season.
He chased every “make money online idea”, from YouTube automation to Amazon FBA to dropshipping. Then he found remote sales training.
In this episode, Jeremy shares how he landed his first remote sales job, beat his first appointment setter target by 20%, hit target three months straight, and got promoted to high ticket closer. You’ll hear the simple mindset switch that turned “pushy” into “helping.”
We also dig into why most online side hustles just buy you another job, and the real difference between setting and closing.
If your people skills are stuck in a job that eats your nights and weekends, hit play and see what a career in remote sales could look like for you in less than a year.

How a Pool Cleaner Landed a Six Figure Remote Sales Job | Lachlan Lim-It
How does a pool cleaner go from $35 an hour to a six figure base in 10 months?
It’s all because of one decisison… and he almost skipped the call that started it all.
If you feel stuck in a job that pays the bills but doesn’t fill your cup, this remote sales success story shows you what is possible.
Lachlan used to spend his days cleaning pools, listening to Spotify through his headphones. Then one day, the Remote Sales podcast randomly started playing - and he was hooked.
Ten months later, he works from home as an account manager with a six figure base and still earns commission.

He Left a 200K Construction Job to Sell From Home… Jarrod’s Full Story
Twelve months ago, my guest was a crane operator earning over 200K a year, and he still wanted out because while the money was great - the hours were not.
In this episode of the Remote Sales Podcast, I sit down with Jarrod Vertigan.
He swapped the crane for a remote closer role. On his first day with a new offer, he took six appointments and closed four and made $2,000 in commission in two days.
The road from job site to closer’s chair has some big bumps along the way, which Jarrod experiences and openly shares.
We also dig into why construction skills are sales skills and why starting as a setter makes you a better closer.
Jarrod shares why sales is personal growth you get paid for, what it really takes to chase a 50K month, and what it feels like to finally have weekends off.
If you want a work from home sales career and your time back, hit play now and hear how a tradie built a high ticket sales career from the ground up.
