If you’re talking to leads who can’t buy, you're wasting time, energy, and money. In this episode of the Next Level Podcast, Jeremy Miner sits down with Douglas James, a Navy veteran turned 8-figure entrepreneur, to break down how to qualify buyers before the sales call even begins.
Douglas shares the mindset shifts that helped him generate over $70M in high-ticket sales, and how he built one of the fastest-growing companies in America by combining purpose with performance. You’ll also hear how he’s disrupting the sales game with LeadFi—a tool that reveals your lead’s buying power using just a name, email, and phone number. They dive into personal development, high-ticket phone sales, and how to scale fast while giving back.
