From plumber to $1M+ earner at age 32

Episode 2 of the Untap Your Sales Potential Podcast is live. And this one is powerful.

I sat down with my client Robby Jones, whose story is proof that:

Sales is a meritocracy.

With grit, discipline, and relentless drive, anybody can reach the top in the world of tech sales. 

But unlike many, Robby didn’t start in tech.

He started as a plumber. After hearing that a plumber caps at $32/hour, he decided to pursue a sales career instead. The journey wasn’t easy. 


He got laid off on his birthday…
He knocked residential doors for two years…
He faced rejection most people couldn’t handle…

And turned that into:

• Multiple $500K+ years
• A $1M+ year
• A 9-figure deal
• VP of Sales running a $200M+ business at 32

This is what’s possible when you commit fully to the craft.

But we didn’t just talk about success. We also talked about the cost of it.

Because nobody tells you this: You can “reach the top” and still feel empty inside. 

Regardless of your performance, if you aren’t content with yourself you will never feel peace, even after hitting everything you’ve ever dreamed of. 

Robby also opened up about growing up around addiction and feeling like unless he was achieving he wouldn’t receive love.

And how that belief became both his greatest strength… and his biggest struggle.

We went deep on:

• Why sales is the ultimate vehicle for financial freedom
• How to build real resilience (lessons from door-to-door)
• The shift from inward focus to outward focus
• Why top performers win by serving, not selling
• The “commission hangover” and the downside of achievement
• How to stay driven while actually finding peace

Robby’s story is inspiring on so many levels, and proof that no matter what hardship or adversity you’ve experienced in your life, sales success is possible for anybody:

My two biggest takeaways from this episode: 

  1. If you’re willing to do the work, sales will change your life.
  2. But if you don’t do the inner work, you’ll reach the top and still feel empty. 

If you’re a seller who is looking for inspiration,  this episode is for you.

PS – If you’ve ever gotten value from my content, I have one question:  follow the podcast and leave a rating. This will help us hit the top charts and reach more sellers.
