Joining us today is Jonathan Schmitz, a professional in the Sales Training, Coaching, and Consulting industry. Like so many people I know, he came from the Cutco world, has a degree in Business Management, and has used that training to build his own very successful business.

In his own words: Jonathan Schmitz is a husband, entrepreneur, and Hall of Fame sales representative in the direct sales space. After a 10 year career in direct sales, finishing in the top 0.0075% of producers in his company’s 70 year history out of over 2 million representatives, he decided to take his gifts to humanity to help sales people and business owners produce more in less time, and leave a legacy they’re proud of.
“I believe that a life lived only for the sake of growing a bank account, without making the world a better place around you, is a shell of the life we are meant to live. Without production, we have no leverage to do good in the world; without leadership, we have no reason to be remembered after we are gone.
This belief system is exactly why I started my company: to help sales people and entrepreneurs experience fulfillment in their day to day lives, while producing more for themselves and others, so that they can one day be remembered for the way they made the world a better place around them.
THAT is a legacy worth leaving…leaving the world better than you found it…and I am DETERMINED to help others achieve the same.”
