Episode Overview

As an avid outdoorsman, Sam Taggart compares door-to-door sales to his love for snowboarding.

That’s because the founder and CEO of D2D Experts believes that while most people will certainly fail in the beginning, it’s those who overcome their fear of rejection and persevere who will become master salespeople.

He highlights the importance of perseverance through adversity, a reasonable recruitment model, and robust training programs for sales success in this Pest in Class episode with host Amanda Salvatore.
