Jesse will demo the system he used for over a decade to get introductions to new customers.

Get warm leads & introductions

(Hint: it's NOT sales.) We'll take away all the uncertainty and show you the one metric you have to focus on.

Focus on the one metric that matters

Put an end to the  "feast or famine" approach. You'll walk away with a system that delivers consistent sales.

Learn the process for getting consistent sales

You'll get clear scripts for getting introductions to warm leads AND we'll teach you how to make them sound natural.

Scripts

Past attendees of this workshop closed sales because of what they learned. Our goal is to get you sales.

Sales from the call

So you want to reach the top of B2B Sales or get there more consistently? It takes a system. Sales Rocket Fuel is that system. Sales Rocket Fuel teaches the best strategies, habits and actionable tips that I've used to become a 4-time #1 Account Executive, 13x Club Winner, and reach the top 1% of Salesforce - 2x. I've sold $50M+ since 2020 alone and have helped hundreds of AEs &amp; also sales teams level up, while having awesome client relationships. I built this course to share what actually works in B2B sales today to be consistently successful. This isn't the "standard" training stuff. Almost every sales&nbsp;training&nbsp;I’ve taken has&nbsp;sucked. If you're looking to level up your B2B sales game, you're in the right place. This is a high-impact, high-energy class designed to help you have your best sales year ever. Over 5 interactive group sessions, you'll level up your sales skills across the entire sales process, along with your mindset &amp; your habits to unleash your potential. We'll cover the entire sales cycle - your mindset, your habits &amp; your sales skills across these areas: 1. Get inspired with bigger, SMARTER goals for your Professional and personal life to ignite your motivation. Then build powerful habits, and leverage accountability to make them happen. 2. Build powerful prospecting messages that get executives attention. Want to see how we got a Yes from Mark Cuban on the first email? 3. Ask Powerful Discovery Questions and build compelling, ROI driven presentations that close multi-million dollar deals 4. Build powerful relationships with the power of moments and growing accounts with raving fans. 5. Closing deals, building industry expertise &amp; how to focus on activities that drive revenue. Each class includes action items so you'll drive immediate and lasting results. You'll get 90 mins / week of video spaced out over 5 weeks, and live workshops each week to put the ideas into action and cover questions as you level up each step of your sales process. This program has been battle-tested for years. Join the next cohort and see why people are saying, "Sales Rocket Fuel was one of the most valuable things I’ve ever done for my career."

Docusign MM Install Q4 2024

2025: Q1 Fast Start

If you saw me on Lenny's Podcast, you know that my work is based on science, not theory. Selling yourself and your ideas, being understood, gaining trust, and being more fully appreciated doesn't have to be a mystery, and you don't have to trust someone's personal theories and experience. Science holds the answers, and they are crystal clear, extremely effective, and work fast. You actually need to learn how to position yourself (and your team, if you lead one), at two levels to succeed: The Macro LevelWhen you're explaining what you're all about, giving your elevator speech, sharing a presentation about your team's capabilities and value, meeting people for the first time, or interviewing, these are examples of selling yourself and your ideas at the macro level. Success at the macro level gets you opportunities, jobs, customers, and establishes a clearer understanding of what you can really do. If you've ever felt misunderstood, that your job or team is under-appreciated, or that you've been unable to stand out in interviews or sales, it's because of your macro positioning. It's something you can learn to do masterfully, using simple and comfortable ideas to get through to people. The Micro LevelWhen you're in meetings, debates, pitching ideas, trying to warn people of flaws, sending project updates, and more, you're selling yourself and your ideas at the micro level. Success at the micro level is how you get yesses to ideas, approval to move ahead with plans, it's how you influence decisions, and it's how you effectively warn people so we avoid mistakes. Success at the micro level gets you influence, impact, trust, a voice, gravitas, and confidence. If you've ever felt like your ideas, warnings, or points aren't getting through, that you aren't taken seriously as a presence in the room, and that you were unable to influence decisions and help the team avoid mistakes, it's because of this micro influence. These are skills you can master. Why is selling yourself so hard? This stuff is hard for two reasons. First, the human brain requires very specific approaches to communication, influence, and building a real understanding. By default, brains don't ship from the factory making any of these things easy or intuitive. Second, people's brains work really differently. You are going to work with a range of different types of people, and you must understand how they think and what makes their mind unique before you can be successful with them. What works for one type of person doesn't work for another. One thing that is going to set this course apart, making it different than anything else out there about influence, is we are going to explore what is actually happening in the human mind. The human mind is the critical factor in all influence and positioning, and if you don't understand how people's minds work, you're at a huge disadvantage when it comes to selling yourself and your ideas. You'll be surprised to find out what science knows about influence and what is happening in the mind. We aren't just going to explore what "works" for people, in the sense of tactics and recipes. You're also going to have a dynamic understanding of why and when it works, too. This makes you flexible and versatile, tapping into deeper principles you actually understand instead of surface level recipes and tactics.

Feel free to type out dates as your title as a way to communicate information about specific live sessions or other events.

Friday, November 8th


Schedule items can also be used to convey commitments outside of specific time slots (like weekly projects or daily office hours).

Weekly projects

People whose jobs and careers depend on influence and being understood: - Founders, Leaders &amp; Managers- Product- Analytics- UX, etc.

People who feel imposter syndrome, struggle with assertiveness, feel too blunt, or just want to radically uplevel their effectiveness.

People who are actively interviewing or who want to stand out the next time they do. ﻿Stand out from the crowd.

You'll have this content forever, and it's structured to be a resource you can reference in the future. While it's great if you can come to some or all of the live session, this resource is what's most valuable.

A resource you can keep revisiting


You will understand other people's minds, find the best paths to connect with them, and become more strategic.

Say goodbye to frustration and confusion


Many professionals are not appreciated because other people don't understand what they do and why it matters. Learn how to position yourself properly in people's minds so they value you and what you have to contribute.

Be understood, and valued


If you are in product, engineering, design, analytics, customer success, or a number of other fields that are influence-based, it's hard for your team to thrive if the broader business misunderstands you and the value you produce. We will clear that up with powerful branding.

Position your craft, your team, and its brand properly


Once you are properly positioned and understood, you'll have a platform to make your ideas more compelling, your warnings more convincing, and your everyday interactions create a reputation that works as an asset instead of a liability.

Find success in ideas, warnings, and everyday interactions


I coach many people who are better than they realize, but their humility comes across as uncertainty, causing a number of issues downstream with their influence. We'll explore how to have a more powerful and comfortable form of confidence and presence in the course.

Gain confidence and presence in front of executives (or anyone)


Master positioning yourself, your team, and your ideas. Be understood, trusted, believed, and appreciated.

Cohort 2

Get 2025 Started Right

Over 6 weeks, you'll be led through a step-by-step process that will focus your sales &amp; marketing team's time, energy, and resources on prospects that drive sustainable, long-term growth rather than winning more mediocre clients who come &amp; go. You will develop a tailored, yet repeatable approach to identify, initiate and incorporate key stakeholders in your sales process in order to build a healthy top-of-funnel. This "live" coaching offers a hands-on transformative experience, led by a 20+ year sales expert, alongside a group of smart and driven growth leaders like yourself.
