About this episode

If you want to stop chasing prospects and start closing with authority, this episode is your blueprint. I sat down with Armand Farrokh, founder of 30 Minutes to President’s Club the #1 sales podcast in the world and we broke down how top 1% sellers diagnose deeper problems, dismantle objections with tone (not pressure), and use identity reframes that make prospects sell themselves. 

Armand didn’t just grow revenue from $0 to $13M at Pave he engineered it with precision-level sales skills most reps never learn. This episode goes beyond surface-level tactics to show you how to disarm resistance, create urgency, and get buyers to fight for your solution. Watch this and you’ll understand why most salespeople are stuck in the shallow end and how to get out fast.
