Tired of long commutes, capped income, and feeling stuck in a job that doesn’t inspire you?
In this episode of the Remote Sales Podcast, we meet Dan Smith Williams, a former carpenter who traded his tools for a laptop - and now earns more from home as a remote appointment setter than he did working 12-hour days on-site.
This inspiring conversation unpacks Dan’s complete transformation from having zero sales experience to building a thriving remote high ticket sales career in under 12 months.
Whether you're in a blue-collar trade, a corporate office job, or simply burnt out by the 9 to 5 grind, Dan’s story proves that a better career (and lifestyle) is possible.
In this episode, Dan shares how he:
✅ Left the construction industry and landed a remote sales job in 8 weeks
✅ Faced fears, self-doubt, and the unknown of changing careers
✅ Became a successful remote appointment setter with no sales background
✅ Works daily with trade business coaches to help other tradies grow
