At age 24, I entered the entrepreneurial world and never looked back. I started out importing packaging from the Orient and selling it to top retailers in North America. However, knowing I always loved selling and list building, I founded ExchangeLeads in 2013 which helps companies build custom lists for outreaching new prospects.In early 2018, I parlayed ExchangeLeads into my second start-up called Autoklose that is a new revolutionary sales automation platform that is used by 3000+ sales professionals around the world to help save them save hours a day and automate the tedious tasks salespeople do on a regular day.I have used my sales strategies over the years to:• Bring ExchangeLeads from 0 to Breakeven in 5.5 months.• Launch Autoklose with 3018 prospects ready to purchase before the product was developed.• Fill sales rep’s calendars with an average of 38 meetings a week• Increase his clients by over 300% month over month.SPECIALTIES: Lead Generation, Sales strategy implementation, Sales coaching, Keynote Speaking, Bringing ideas to life.07:15 “You should be in sales!”32:00 “No one gets fired”Connect with Shawn hereTry Autoklose today for free here --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jtlieu/support
