071 | Kunal Desai Shares Why Bartending is the First Important Sales Job

After years of trading and honing his system, Kunal created the Bulls Bootcamp, a comprehensive trading course to impart everything he’s learned as a trader.

Have you mastered your sales pitch? Do you have prospects rolling in from all over, or do you struggle to make conversation with the people you meet?

I get it, starting a conversation with someone who is practically a stranger can be tough, and then to casually move into selling them becomes even more difficult.

This week’s guest, Kunal Desai, has the answer!

Take the time to work random jobs that require you to chat with and build relationships with people you hardly know.

Kunal recommends taking the time to be a bartender. Being in that environment forces you to create conversation with people you’ve likely never met before.

I agree with Kunal, and I’ve actually done this exact thing! Back in college I was a cocktail waitress, and I absolutely believe that it helped make it easier for me to talk with people that I don’t know without worrying about being too salesy.

If you’re ready to hone your sales skills and master your sales pitch, then this episode of Success Unfiltered is a MUST LISTEN!

Enjoy, and thank you for listening and tuning into Success Unfiltered!

Here are a few key secrets we talked about in this episode:

  • Michelle introduces Kunal Desai.
  • Kunal shares a brief introduction of himself.
  • Kunal started trading stocks when he was in college, right around 2002.
  • The most crushing NO that Kunal experienced occurred while he was trading in college. His family was expecting him to graduate and get a job, but a few mistakes in trading led to some financial difficulties and led to him not graduating on time. He shares the full story in this episode.
  • After he finally graduated, Kunal struggled to find a job because his resume didn’t have much on it. Plus, he had settled for a Communications degree just so he could get out of school.
  • Kunal was eventually hired as a door to door salesman, where he decided to make the most out of it. He worked hard! He’d walk to 100 businesses a day, even in the winter, just to get the YES’s he knew were out there.
  • Most people aren’t driven to walk anywhere in the winter, but Kunal was driven to show his family he could accomplish big things.
  • Kunal’s second job was as a recruiter for engineering, construction and accounting jobs, which is also where his next major NO came from.
  • At the time the recruiting company was small, only about 5 employees, but Kunal helped grow it to have 25 employees and be a multimillion dollar company. However, the owner of the company didn’t keep his word and make Kunal partner, which they had agreed upon at the beginning of Kunal’s career there. Kunal shares all of the details in this episode!
  • Kunal shares the three big things that helped him when he hit rock bottom and made a comeback.
  • After the devastating NO he received from the owner of the recruiting company, Kunal decided to check-out for about 48 hours to try and decide if he wanted to start his own company.
  • By pure luck, this was around the time that Twitter came out. Kunal began tweeting about what he was buying and selling and his followers grew.
  • Since it was happening in real time people were genuinely interested in what he was tweeting out.
  • Kunal decided to turn this into his brand, and build a membership around it so he could start building his own business.
  • Once Kunal opened his own business he learned he had to flip the script and tell someone else NO.
  • A woman Kunal was working with was high-maintenance and starting to poison the attitude of the company.
  • This woman did bring in a lot of business to Kunal’s company, but he knew he had to let her go. Kunal shares how he did this and how it affected his whole company.
  • The biggest lesson that Kunal ever learned was that you must work with people that share the same values as you.
  • After losing everything for a second time, Kunal decided to reach out to his close friends and ask if they’d work for very little and help him build his company back up, while living in Costa Rica.
