In this episode of The D2D Podcast, Danny Dimas—founder of GIG (Global Interactive Group)—shares his extraordinary journey from being $360,000 in debt to building a $50M international door-to-door sales business operating in Australia, New Zealand, the US, UK, and Ireland.
Danny opens up about hitting rock bottom: broke, with a pregnant wife and toddler, he was days away from quitting sales for good. Instead, he chose to rebuild—one rep, one sale, one system at a time.
You’ll learn how he scaled GIG through simple yet powerful strategies: prioritizing people over profits, creating transparent growth paths, and training leaders who train others. His insights into field leadership, motivation through micro-goals, and the importance of reconnecting reps with their “why” are practical and deeply motivating.
If you’re starting from scratch or leading a team through challenges, this episode offers actionable tools to stay consistent, overcome doubt, and build a business that lasts. Danny also breaks down the similarities—and unique challenges—of selling door-to-door in Australia vs. the US, offering a global perspective every D2D leader should hear.
You’ll find answers to key questions such as:
- How can I rebuild a D2D sales team after losing everything?
- What’s the best way to keep new reps motivated and consistent?
- How do you build a duplicable leadership system in direct sales?
- What goals actually move struggling reps to take action?
- Is the Australian D2D market viable for products like solar or roofing?
