In this episode of The Next Level Podcast with Jeremy Miner, Jay reveals how door-to-door sales forged his mindset, his money, and the leadership that built an empire.You’ll learn how to master rejection, sell without being pushy, and build real certainty on the doors. Jay and Jeremy break down why culture beats commission, how to turn a summer job into six-figure savings, and the habits that make average reps fearless closers. If you’ve ever felt stuck, burnt out, or unsure whether sales is worth it,  this episode proves that the right mindset can change everything.Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(02:50) From College Hustle to Pest Control Pro(05:13) Joining Eco shield(08:46) Culture That Keeps Reps Winning(12:32) Residual Income That Pays You to Stay(17:15) How Door-to-Door Builds Mental Toughness(32:08) The Skill Every Salesperson Must Master(37:54) Rapid Fire Questions Connect with Jay RidingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayadamsridingApply for a sales position: https://www.shieldhiring.comFree sign up for wholesale hats: https://www.billestwholesale.com Got a question about sales, persuasion, or objection handling?
