Jared Season 1 Episode 1

Drayk and Jared introduce their new podcast by sharing Jared's journey from manual labor to founding Proficient Windows, revealing how confidence, work ethic, and taking the right approach have been key to his success in door-to-door sales.

• Jared's first jobs included working as a busboy and placing rebar in Las Vegas, where he made $45/hour at age 19
• Learning that "if you cut corners, you're gonna double back" has been a guiding principle throughout Jared's career
• Personal development directly impacts sales performance because people are attracted to confidence
• The window industry offers unique advantages with immediate customer benefits and quick commission payments
• Work ethic often matters more than education or communication skills in door-to-door sales success
• Proficient Windows grew from a "one-man band" to two offices and 13 salespeople in less than a year
• Future plans include expanding to 10-12 offices within five years while maintaining company culture and integrity
