Shadowing Practice: How To Actually Land A Remote Sales Job (Untapped Methods) - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creating lesson...
1
Believe it or not, there are better ways to find high-ticket sales jobs other than spamming copy and paste DMs on Instagram.
2
As someone who's closed for Alex Ramosi, closed for Emaugazi, plus helped dozens of people find sales gigs in the past year,
3
I know there are far more effective ways to finding these jobs.
4
After hearing the methods I share in this video, you will be asking yourself, why didn't I think of these methods before?
5
And this won't just cover how to find the business owners, but also how to properly reach out to them.
6
And if you just implement one of these strategies, I guarantee you will find a sales role within the next two weeks.
7
Now, before we start applying to these roles, we must first create a list of different businesses that we should apply to.
8
And honestly, there are a ton of places where you could find these business owners to sell for, but I'm just going to share my favorite two right now, just to simplify everything.
9
Now, strategy number one, Facebook ad library.
10
The top dogs in the industry are spending a ton of money daily on ads.
11
Let's say, for example, I want to work for a fitness offer.
12
I would search up facebook.com slash ads slash library and add in the filter section, fitness coaching.
13
Within 30 seconds, I will have a list of 20 companies that are spending money on ads to scale their business.
14
Now, add those companies to your list.
15
You guys, very few people are tapping into this method.
16
It's really as simple as going to the ad library and searching the niche that you're interested in selling it.
17
And yes, you could search fitness mentorship, fitness coaching, Airbnb coaching, real estate mentorship.
18
If there is a niche, there is somebody with a business selling something for it.
19
Now take those companies and once again, add them to your list.
20
And in most cases, these companies in Facebook ad library are making
21
so much money and spending so much money that if you go on their website, there's a page to go and apply as a sales rep.
22
So make sure you dig a little bit.
23
Now, before we continue, you do need to keep track of all the businesses you find, plus the businesses you apply to.
24
Reason being, if you're just throwing darts at the wall and hoping something will stick, you will lose opportunities.
25
There are a lot of sales roles that are literally life-changing opportunities.
26
So to make it easier for you, I'm going to add a downloadable file somewhere in the description.
27
It will be free.
28
There's no paywall just so that you could track all these businesses
29
that you find that you plan on applying to make it easier for you.
30
Now, strategy number two, find the top performing groups on school.
31
School is Alex Ramosi's company.
32
You may have heard of it.
33
Ideally, what you could do is use the discover community section in school to find paid groups
34
that offer a high ticket product or service.
35
And here's a side note, you guys, make sure you pay attention whether the group says paid or free.
36
You don't want to go contact and waste your time contacting the free groups.
37
Let's look for the paid ones only.
38
In the groups that say a low ticket price, like maybe $20 a month, it's really a 50-50 shot if they have a high ticket offer.
39
It's still worth reaching out to them, but just keep that in mind.
40
What you can do is cross-reference those low-ticket groups with Instagram just to see
41
if they have some type of offer or funnel where they're selling something that's more expensive.
42
Remember, high-ticket means the product is at least $2,000.
43
For me, one of the best ways that I find out
44
if a low-ticket group on school actually has a high-ticket offer is by looking at their Instagram, seeing if they have a link that leads to a landing page,
45
And if there's an area on that landing page where they could book a call, meaning a prospect who's interested in what they're selling,
46
that always means that there's a sales rep on the other side of that call that's taking payment, closing the deal, and making a lot of money from the offer.
47
And now that you have your list of businesses to apply to, it's time to talk about how the hell do I apply.
48
Outreach, building your resume, and applying on their website.
49
So for your resume, it really takes less than 30 minutes to create one.
50
And I just use some type of free resume builder online.
51
I mean, all you got to do is Google free resume builder and something will pop up for you.
52
It does improve your chances with getting hired.
53
And if you apply to a really big company like Gym Launch, they will ask for a resume.
54
So what I'm going to do for you is show you the exact resume
55
that I use to get hired to Gym Launch with zero sales experience.
56
That way you could just copy me, but reiterate it to the best of your ability.
57
All right, you guys.
58
So here is the exact resume that got me hired to gym launch.
59
Well, it didn't get me hired, but it got me brought on to the interview.
60
And that is the goal with applying to companies is just get to the first step, which is bring me on for a damn interview.
61
So as you can see, there's a couple things here.
62
Obviously my name, I blurt out my address, my phone number, and my email.
63
So you guys don't come looking for me.
64
But here's my professional summary is the first thing at the top.
65
And then I have a couple skills that I understand and learned.
66
And then my work history.
67
Now, one thing I'll say, you guys, is when I got hired to gym launch, I literally had pretty much zero sales experience.
68
So what I did was took my prior work history and just compared it to how it relates to sales.
69
So for example, I worked in a restaurant as a server in a bartender, and I could have added as one of my bullet points,
70
I cleaned tables and washed dishes.
71
But instead, I added things like I learned essential salesman skills such as public speaking and customer care.
72
Or, I became versed in upselling techniques which increased my overall sales per customer.
73
And here's a newsflash, they liked that a ton.
74
I remember the sales manager on the meeting was like, hey Alex, I actually liked how you didn't have a ton of sales history,
75
but what you did was took what you have done and compared it to how it relates to sales.
76
I also added internet sales.
77
This was a e-commerce business that I kind of attempted.
78
I did it for two years and did decently well.
79
I took the bullet points for this as well
80
and just directed it to how it relates to sales and working from home.
81
And this one at the top was a door-to-door sales role that I had.
82
That really wasn't the best experience.
83
I did it for like two weeks.
84
I did extend the history a little bit because I thought
85
that they were going to ask me all about this door-to-door sales role that I had.
86
And they didn't.
87
The only thing they asked me about was my internet sales company, e-commerce, and then also my serving and bartending.
88
Now at the bottom, I added a little conclusion and then also education that I did as well.
89
And once again, you guys, I just used a free resume builder website for this.
90
I didn't create this on my own.
91
It took me like 20 minutes.
92
And on top of that, this is my most current resume.
93
I made this probably like eight months ago and it is a little bit sexier.
94
So I will give you the downloadable template to both of these in the description below.
95
Once again, this won't be something you have to pay for.
96
I'll just add it for free and you guys could download.
97
Now that we covered the resume, let's talk about outreach.
98
So I always recommend when you apply to a company, let's say you applied through their website, search that company up on LinkedIn.
99
And once you do that, you will get a list on LinkedIn of different people who are working for that company.
100
On top of that, it'll also tell you the different roles that they have in the company.
101
Let's find the sales manager.
102
Let's find closers, setters on the team and shoot them a DM on Instagram.
103
And here's the exact script that you could use when you send them a DM.
104
Hey, sales manager name.
105
I just applied to X company and I'm super excited to hear back from you and see what next steps look like.
106
That is it but you do want to cover all of your angles.
107
So once again, any company that you apply to, let's say through their website, search that company up on LinkedIn, get the list of different people who are working for
108
that company and send the people in charge of sales a quick DM.
109
Now let's talk about a separate form of outreach.
110
How do we contact companies that we want to work for, but they don't have an application page on their website, AKA how the hell do I do cold outreach.
111
Now, let me tell you guys a story
112
so you guys are obviously watching this video
113
and recently I've probably received 30 to 40 dms of different
114
people who are asking to video edit for me write me scripts help me with youtube help me with content
115
and so forth and they all say the same thing hey Alex my name is such
116
and such and I could help you with xyz send me a dm
117
and we could hop on a call basically they're saying hey I have something to sell you, which is cool.
118
And I respect that, but it doesn't create any urgency for me to respond.
119
Now out of those 20 or 30 DMS I received, there was one guy who sent me something different.
120
What he told me was, Hey Alex, I created this document for you of 15 different YouTube titles that you could use for your next video.
121
If you like them, go ahead and use them and let me know what you think.
122
I remember I thought to myself, hell yeah, that's cool.
123
And that's actually helpful.
124
And I intuitively responded right away.
125
I didn't even think about it.
126
I ended up jumping with this guy on a call and having an hour-long conversation about YouTube. And after
127
that, I was thinking backwards to how the hell could a
128
sales rep contact a business via cold DM outreach to land a job?
129
When you think about it, everybody is probably saying the same shit, you guys.
130
Hey, my name is Alex.
131
I'm a setter.
132
I could help you sell things for your company.
133
Let me know if you guys are hiring and that's just not going to work.
134
So luckily for you I created two different methods
135
that you could use for doing cold dm outreach to land
136
a sales role Now method number one is the work for
137
free method What you are gonna do is send a dm to whatever company
138
or influencer you want to work for and say this Hey, alex I love what you do and i've heard great things about your company
139
and wanted to let you know that I would love to come into your company
140
and work for free by setting all of your old leads that you have in your pipeline.
141
Now, hear me out, you guys.
142
No company will have you work for free.
143
But even myself, who has been a sales manager before, would see that DM and say, huh, I like that.
144
This guy seems hungry.
145
He seems motivated.
146
And it seems like he's serious about what he wants to do.
147
Let's bring him on for an interview.
148
Smart, right?
149
Now, method number two is even more untapped.
150
It just takes a little bit more time.
151
Now, hear me out, you guys, because at the end of the day, if you land a 10 out of 10 sales role, like going to gym launch or going to Iman's team, this is something that will change your life.
152
So what you are going to do is find an online coach or an online business,
153
an online mentorship that has something in their bio like DM me help to get started.
154
What you are going to do is send a DM to the person saying that keyword.
155
From there, they will start a conversation with you in the DMs to try and book you onto a call.
156
That way they can sell you into their business.
157
Now, usually what they'll do is send you a booking link.
158
Take that booking link and save it in your notes.
159
Now, what I want you to do is go through the influencer, an online business's Instagram following, and followers, and start doing some cold outreach.
160
Think back to the conversation that they had with you
161
when you DM them help and replicate that to try and set people for a call.
162
Once you get two or three people to book a call for that influencer, send them another DM and let them know, Hey, I just booked three calls for you.
163
Here are their names.
164
Let me know how the calls go.
165
If you do that, they will bring you on the team.
166
Why the hell wouldn't they?
167
You just made the money.
168
Now, once again, yes, it may take a couple extra minutes, maybe a day or two to get those two or three sets, but it'll be worth it in the end.
169
Now that we've covered outreach, let's talk about the interview process.
170
You guys, I've had a lot of conversations with sales managers and sales recruiters alike.
171
One thing they told me is
172
that the biggest downside of people going on to interviews is
173
that because they think it's a remote job where they work from home, they could just show up in their bed looking like a mess.
174
When you show up to an interview via Zoom, be professional.
175
Get a haircut.
176
Put a nice little polo on.
177
That doesn't mean you have to wear a tuxedo or a crazy suit, but you guys don't look disheveled like you just woke up from a nap.
178
And when it comes to your background, a lot of people think that you need some crazy ass background to do well in sales.
179
Like, I don't know, something like this, but you really don't.
180
I collected my first million dollars in sales while working out of my parents' garage in front of a blank wall.
181
And I'll even show a picture so you guys could see.
182
So for your interview, you have two options.
183
Either one, if you have some type of decent background, like sitting outside in a backyard with good scenery behind you, or even a decent looking living room,
184
you could totally use that.
185
If you don't, if you were someone like me who didn't really have shit, just sit in front of a blank wall with good lighting.
186
Reason being, if you have a messy or ugly background, they will judge that.
187
But if you don't have any background at all, the only thing they could judge is you and how you speak on the call.
188
Now, you guys, the way you want to act on an interview is to be yourself, but on top of that, be professional and show how hungry you are to do well for the company.
189
If you don't have any experience with sales, that's okay.
190
You don't need them to buy into your sales experience.
191
You need them to buy into you.
192
You need the sales manager to trust that you are someone who will work hard and someone who is coachable.
193
I remember on my gym launch interview, I told the sales manager, hey man, listen, I don't have much sales experience.
194
I'll be up front with you, but I promise you I will be the hardest working person on the team.
195
And I will learn faster than anybody else that you've brought on the team.
196
He believed in me and he gave me the shot.
197
Likeability and authenticity plays a huge part in you landing any job you're looking for or even building relationships.
198
When I got hired to Iman's team, The biggest key to me getting hired wasn't my past sales experience I do think it helped
199
but it was me hitting it off with the ceo of
200
his company all daily He bought into me as a person
201
as a father as someone who wanted to do well in
202
life Now let's cut the sob story you guys One of
203
the biggest keys to doing well in an interview is to ask really good questions at the end of the interview Okay, let's say an interview is 30 minutes.
204
The first 20 minutes will be the sales manager asking you questions The last 10 minutes, they will say, hey, Alex, I don't have any other questions.
205
Is there anything top of mind for you?
206
You want to ask them good questions.
207
If you ask good questions, the sales manager will know that you know your shit.
208
There is three goals with asking good questions.
209
Number one is to show the sales manager that you know what you're talking about.
210
And number two is to hold frame on top of them, to show yourself as an authority figure in the space.
211
And lastly, I don't think there's a third point, you guys.
212
I was trying to come up with three, but there's only two.
213
There is three goals with asking good questions on the interview.
214
Number one is to find out if a company is a good fit for you.
215
Number two is to show your expertise in the field.
216
And number three is to come from a place of abundance and not neediness.
217
You do not need this job.
218
You are there to see if the role is a good fit for you.
219
So if you want me to make a video on what questions to ask on an interview, put a comment in the description and I could get that done for you guys.
220
So to make the most out of this video and what you just learned, I need you to promise me something.
221
That you are going to commit to 10 to 20 outreach messages per day.
222
And on top of that, to 3 to 5 application submissions per day.
223
This is the bare minimum of what you want to do to land a sales role within 14 days.
224
All these strategies work.
225
I've seen them work for me and I've seen them work for dozens of people
226
that I have helped find good sales roles.
227
With that being said, if you are someone that needs some accountability
228
and maybe needs help finding a sales role or even improving with the sales role you have, I am bringing on a couple people
229
that I'm going to help get to $10,000 per month with sales like I've done for dozens of people.
230
You can look at the link in the description.
231
If not, that's okay.
232
I'm going to drop more videos with free value for you guys.
233
Other than that, thank you for watching.
234
I hope this helps and peace out.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
