Customer Reviews
Listen to this if you want to make $$
Beyond Quota is the only sales podcast you need. Corp and Pouyan bring on guests that started in the sales trenches, and highlight stories of the grind, SADNESS, and commish checks across a number of industries.
The firsthand experience each guest brings to the table of how they leveraged their sales career to start a new venture, or generate another stream of income, sheds light on the greener pastures that lie ahead of the trenches.
The lessons you learn and comedy they bring to the table will have you unsubscribing from any podcast that you think will help you get into presidents club.
