David Angel: Transforming Trades and Service Sales

Closers.io

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with David Angel, founder of TUSTA (The Ultimate Sales Training Academy) and the voice behind The Sales Angel brand. David shares his unconventional journey from leaving school at 15 and working in hospitality, to building multiple businesses, hitting personal rock bottom, and ultimately rediscovering purpose through ethical, human-centered sales training. He opens up about how a single opportunity to help a struggling team reignited his passion and became the foundation of a coaching business built on trust, integrity, and real conversations.

The conversation explores David’s approach to modern sales—moving away from scripts and pressure tactics and toward mindset, authenticity, and long-term relationships. He discusses working across multiple industries, with a growing focus on trades and solar companies, and how improving conversations can dramatically increase conversion rates. David also reflects on lifestyle-driven entrepreneurship, scaling intentionally, building a small but effective team, and why success for him is measured not by speed or vanity metrics, but by client outcomes, personal fulfillment, and sustainable growth.
