244: The Truth About Sales: Why Helping People Is the Ultimate Business Skill with Johnny-Juan Ortiz
"Sales is not something that we do to someone. When done right, sales is fun, sales when done right is service, sales when done right is service, sales when done right is love. It's something we do for someone." —Johnny-Juan Ortiz
Sales gets a bad rap. For many, it feels pushy, sleazy, or manipulative. But what if the truth is the opposite? Real sales is truly about helping someone solve a problem, and the ability to sell is the very skill that keeps doors open, businesses alive, and families thriving.
Starting in straight commission sales at 19, Johnny-Juan Ortiz built over three decades of experience where every paycheck depended on his ability to believe in himself first. That journey shaped him into a respected business coach and speaker who now teaches entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals that selling the right way is service, strategy, and love in action.
In this episode, Daniel and Johnny break down why sales is life, how rejection can turn into resilience, the danger of trying to “go it alone,” and why investing in yourself pays the highest dividends. Get ready to rethink sales, money, mentorship, and the basics of building a phenomenal life—all through stories that hit close to home.
