Meet J. Michael
the ACCIDENTAL
sales acceleration expert
i’ve been called many things …
And I deserve most of them
Business leader. Accelerator. Supportive husband. Proud dad. Delighted Grandfather. World-class sales trainer. Decorated
sales coach. The real deal. And a few I won’t mention (but that doesn’t mean they are any less true).
I’ve also been called the ‘Sales Whisperer’ because I speak the language of high performance selling and acceleration. It’s fast-paced, mind-blowing, a little gut-wrenching, and positively life-changing.
Just like the results you’ve always wanted.
But I’m no stranger to the bottom.
I’ve intimately known struggles both personally and professionally, made countless stupid mistakes, and ignored critical opportunities. My ability to successfully help both sales professionals and businesses grow their revenues came after decades of hard, determined work while overcoming multiple failures.
I tackled my sales career using the ‘very hard and super-slow‘ way.
Now my mission is to share the better, faster, easier (and very proven) way with 10,000 sales professionals just like you.
Sales professionals like you rarely accelerate into another gear (and there are other gears) without having paradigm-shifting collisions, earth-shattering moments, and dealing with plenty of situations that challenge your comfort zone.
I call this the ‘lumberjack syndrome’.
There you are, furiously chopping away in the forest … but despite all your hard work, you still can’t seem to make forward progress and achieve the success you really want. Do you know why?
Your axe is dull.
Abraham Lincoln famously said, “Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree, I will spend the first 4 hours sharpening my axe.”
Well, I have the axe sharpener … You’ve just been too busy to sharpen yours.
I can help you sense what you can achieve – which is probably a lot more than you can imagine – develop a path for you to do it, give you the tools to accelerate you down that path, and then support you on your entire journey.
You came here to this page to learn about me,
Here’s what you need to know.
I’ve been a competitive high-performer since birth (I was born before my due date), driving my early teachers crazy as I sold my homework answers to the other students (and earned enough to buy a new Schwinn bicycle before the 4th grade).
In the start of my sales career, I was not the top sales performer – usually I was somewhere in the bottom 20%. In those days I had a hungry ego, hungry kids and even hungrier mortgage, so I did everything I could learn everything I could get my hands on to improve my performance.
That road was long and tough – but I learned some incredibly valuable things along the way. And now it is my honor and privilege not share those lessons with you, so you can benefit from my mistakes and achieve your objectives faster and easier than I did.
I made just about every mistake you can think of on my journey to figure out the whole ‘sales game’. I’ve almost lost everything. I’ve been scared on the battlefields of business and life. I’ve lost huge opportunities simply because I was too anxious or too undisciplined. I’ve been divorced, survived a major car accident, and come within minutes of jumping off a bridge.
So when I tell you, “I’ve been there”, I really mean it.
If we work together and if there ever comes a time when I try to stop you from making a mistake, you will know that I’m talking from a place of personal experience.
Even though I’ve been coaching sales professionals in some way or another for more than 20 years, I’ve never really considered myself a ‘sales expert’.
I actually think of myself as more of a guide who is trying to pass on what I’ve learned so others can benefit from my experience.
I eat, sleep and breathe helping badass sales professionals like you get more out of life.
If you’re reading this,
there’s a good chance:
- We have a lot in common
- You’ve come a hell of a long way on your own (and you’ve got the battle scars to prove it)
- You’ve got a burning hunger for something bigger, better, and/or more badass for yourself
- You want someone to help you get to that next level by showing you how to do things better, faster, smarter
I am prepared to push you further and faster than you ever thought possible.
The only question is:
Are you ready?
Givs me YOUR commitment, and I’ll give you the results you didn’t think were possible
I will hold you accountable, guide you to find alignment in your sales strategy, and help you build and maintain a champion-caliber sales ‘battle rhythm’ – transforming your performance, your income and your life, all at the same time.
The only thing holding you back is you.
