Yeah, you read that right.
This sales manager says he’ll fire you if you don’t have six-pack abs.
The guy behind this viral video is a sales guru named Andy Elliott. If a Navy Seal had a baby with a motivational sales speaker, it would be Andy.
He’s a juiced-up, intimidating bald dude who’s great at getting attention. His core business is a sales training agency where he trains sales teams at other businesses and sells online sales courses.
He originally got his start as a car salesman and claims he was the top producer, making millions per year.
Just like any great viral video, Andy’s “six-pack” video got a lot of people talking.
Check it out 👇
In the video, Andy says:
I'm going to tell you this, my entire company, my entire team, if you don't have a six pack, you don't work for us.
I can’t tell if I hate this guy or love him… probably a mixture of both.
He continues with:
You know, there's some people in this room that said, ah, I would sue my company if they told me I had to have a six-pack. We know you would. That conversation was for the one-percenters. That wasn't for you.
This guy’s nuts, right? Idk.
As I go down the rabbit hole of his Instagram reel feed, I can’t help but get kind of fired up.
Do I think he really means most of it? No.
But I think he’s looking for reactions, and he's definitely getting them.
Well done Andrew.🫡
But I couldn’t stop there. I needed to see what this guy’s business and sales courses were all about. So I jumped over to his website and clicked on the first course I could find, the “100 to $400 Training Course“. The sales page looked about as spammy as you’d imagine, and had about 5 buy now buttons labeled “Yes! Surge my commission NOW!”.
So of course, I had to click on it.
I filled in some fake information to find out how much it costs ($599 btw), but realized I accidentally auto-filled my real phone number.
And as you’d expect, 5 minutes later I got this text:
I can’t even be mad. This system is crisp. They’re selling from all angles, and never missing a chance to follow up.
Even though most of these course sellers feel a bit spammy, I think B2B companies can learn a lot from them.
These guys will hit you from every channel, and follow up until they get an answer. Meanwhile, some B2B sales reps are giving up after 3 cold emails.
Maybe more software companies need a guy like Andy on the sales floor, screaming about how much of a failure they all are because they don’t have a six pack, can’t bench 225, and wear a stupid looking Patagonia vest into the office every day.
I don’t know. Just a thought.
