In this episode I had the joy of sitting down with the Owner of The Young Entrepreneurs Sales Academy (YESA) and Cardone Training Technologies Canada, Corrie Elieff.
Corrie is truly a master at the art of selling. Having honed his sales skills working a “don’t try this at home” 3,700 hours in 8 months as a manager of a door-to-door sales company, to becoming the turn-around guy at that very same company, to being recruited by Ledcor, one of Canada’s largest diversified construction company, and building a new sales company with over 160 sales associates in 2 years, Corrie is the epitome of a young man who doesn’t take no for an answer and his success thus far is proof.
In two years Corrie has now grown his current companies to over 4 million in revenue, and to get to this point has not come without its challenges. In my first face-to-face recording of the podcast, Corrie and I have a no-holds barred conversation – talking about going through the trenches to get here. From getting fired from his first job, to studying the super successful, from overcoming a drug problem, to sleeping in a warehouse, from living in an oceanside mansion and navigating the waters of the corporate world, to leaping into the world of entrepreneurship, and most recently overcoming an almost fatal health concern, Corrie’s story is sure to captivate you and provide you with many key learning points about what it takes to make it.
Some of the key topics that we talk about include the importance of sales in all aspects of life, choosing to listen to the right people at the right times – Corrie has a great grasp of this which we get into quite deeply, chunking out goals to make them achievable, and some great insights on what misguided millennials should do to get on track.
One thing I love about Corrie is that he’s incredibly consistent in the manner in which he speaks. That being said, there’s some explicit language ahead and opinionated stances on a variety of subjects. As Corrie would say, you may not agree with him, but you have to appreciate his honesty.
As this was the first episode I’ve done in person I did struggle with some of my audio levels in the recording, so I apologize in advance for that. We’ve done our best to cut down on some of the cracks and pops along the way to make this as easy to listen to as possible but some of them were unavoidable so just a heads up on that.
