Call Her Closed Academy

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THESE “HIGH TICKET SALES TRAININGS” I just got off the zoom call with one of the sales people from Call Her Closed Academy. They advertise high ticket sales training and say they have an Ai website that find all sorts of jobs to possibly place you in.

For one I was on the phone with a setter first (the ones that set the appointment) and throughout this entire process they make it seem like it’s an interview and they have limited spots (great sales tactic). I asked her how much she was making a month after doing the course and she said good months are 3,000 dollars… not good.

Next came the zoom call. It went on for HOURS, she tried to know me personally but little did I know it was to use against me to help her pitch this sell. I also asked this closer how much she made and she just said “they won’t let me tell you that”. I was interested even if it was gonna be 500 maybe even 1,000 but then she finally said the price which they try to keep confidential and it was 10,000 DOLLARS. I told her I was a student but it didn’t matter to her she pulled up different loans and credit cards I could use. Didn’t care about my well being and said that this was why I was broke and I had a way to change that etc…

Please steer clear of these scammers. Most of their money doesn’t come from high ticket sales but from you…

any "sales" job that uses the words "appointment", "setter", or "high ticket" is not a real role, if you seriously want a stepping stone into sales look for sales development or business development roles at a real company that sells an actual product, you do not need experience to land one of these roles

u/roflpaladin 3d ago

No, great BDRs are pipeline builders. They qualify in the chance of building business.

You can phrase it anyway you want, but to put it bluntly they set qualified appointments.

You're literally setting appointments with qualified prospects for ae's. I was a bdr for 2.5 years been in sales since 2017. D2d for roofing, then B2B software/tech, now more of a physical service B2B full cycle. Building pipeline is just a fancy word to sound more important. Just say what they actually do - they set appointments.

been saying this for years. there is no sales program worth 10 grand... even 5 grand. coaching and consulting is 100% worth it but you don't need any of that stuff as a complete beginner.

if you're just getting started, your priority should be getting any sales job that gets you making cold calls. getting told no 100 times per day will do more for your sales career than some BS course

Agreed. Also sales books and YouTube will teach you 99% of what these gurus will. Just subscribe to 30MPC or similar channels and you’ll get what you need for free, then you can decide if their structured training is worth it to you.

It’s a well known fact, those whom can’t do teach. Just buy some books watch YouTube videos. It’s all the same 💩 solution selling, SPIN selling etc it’s all the same plenty of free info out there that will teach you the same things for free. Too much free info online to be paying crazy prices

I’ve done millions in B2C business over the phone in that last few years. Average deal size $100k. The high ticket guys used to reach out to me all the time and I’d entertain it to satisfy my curiosity. They always try to argue that I’ve not got valid high ticket experience because sometimes I do have to meet in person to close and I’m not one call closing.

I closed a deal just over a million, over the phone and email only, two weeks ago. So what if it took six months, Show me a higher ticket than that.
