You're equipped. You understand the psychology. Now let's talk about what's actually out there—the three paths into remote sales, what they pay, what they look like day-to-day, and where you fit.
When I tell people I work in B2B sales, most of them have no idea what that means. They think "sales" means retail or car dealerships. They don't know there's an entire world of remote, flexible, high-income sales roles hiring right now—across nearly every industry you can think of.
And they definitely don't know there are multiple paths into it. Not just one. There are three distinct models—and understanding all three is what lets you choose the right one for your life right now, and know where you're headed as your career grows.
By the end of this week:
You'll understand all three paths well enough to know which one fits where you are right now, and which one you might want to grow into.
Real numbers. Real daily schedules. Real expectations. No hype. Just information that lets you make a smart decision.
Think of these not as better or worse—but as different tools for different situations. Where you are today might call for one path. Where you want to be in three years might call for another. Understanding all three means you're never stuck.
You sell to companies. Longer sales cycles, larger deals, deeper relationships. The most accessible W-2 entry point for people without prior sales experience—because companies know they're hiring to train.
Income range
Varies widely by role, region, and industry. Base + commission structure with strong growth potential.
Pace
Steady. Sales cycles of weeks to months. Relationship first.
Best for
People who prefer depth over volume, thrive behind a computer
You sell directly to individual people. Faster pace, faster feedback, faster income growth—if you can handle higher rejection volume. Insurance, education, financial services, health and wellness, real estate, solar energy, and more.
Income range
Heavily commission-driven. Faster ramp, higher ceiling, more variability.
Pace
Fast. Same-day to same-week decisions. High call volume.
Best for
People energized by conversation who want results quickly
You're an independent contractor, not an employee. No base salary. No benefits provided. But also: no income ceiling, complete schedule flexibility, and the ability to build something that's genuinely yours. Four models within this path—from commission-only rep to high-ticket closer to freelance sales consultant.
Income range
$0 to unlimited. The range is real. So is both end of it.
Pace
You set it. Completely. That's both the best and hardest part.
Best for
Self-directed people who want to eventually own their work

Fair warning:
This week might make you angry—not at this course, but at the fact that no one told you any of this sooner. You're about to see how many high-paying, flexible opportunities exist that were never described to you as options.
Good. Use that. Let the frustration become fuel.
Let's dive in.
