9 MAY 2023 · Mz. Skittlez sits down with Michael O’Donnell. As the #1 salesman in the world with personal sales volume of over 12,000,000 watts of solar sold since 2015, he teaches his method both to individual salesmen and entire companies to triple their closing percentage. Mike is the author of the book No Matter Watt: The Recipe for a 7 Figure Income in Sales. Through his “today only” closing method, Mike O’Donnell teaches salespeople the recipe for generating up to a 7-figure income by achieving as high as 8-figure sales results driven by a 9-figure, generational wealth mindset. Listen in as Mike discusses the qualities that make every great salesperson. He also breaks down the importance of marketing in the sales process, and why it’s the duty of a salesperson to “collect the word ‘no’” if they desire long-term success in their career. Asked for his recipe for success, Mike refers to Napoleon Hill’s “chief main objective”—that your top priority should not revolve around surviving in life, but around thriving in it. Going from zero to one, he says, all comes down to embracing the grind—playing the long game rather than chasing quick hits of what today’s social media-driven culture considers “success”. Having a chief main objective in your life offers something exponentially longer-lasting than motivation: inspiration. It’s that inspiration that turns you from a victim of inertia into a beneficiary of momentum! Key Topics: Becoming the #1 salesman in the world (01:08) How marketing affects sales (09:08) Why solar payments cost less than electricity bills in the long run (16:28) Getting a customer from a “no” to a “yes” (25:01) Why you have to constantly have to “sell” yourself to your family (32:04) Mike’s secret recipe for success (35:27) Going from victim of inertia to beneficiary of momentum (43:10) Connect with Michael: Visit his website: https://www.modsalesacademy.com/ Follow him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelodonnellsales/ Connect with Mz.
