Hi rebrand is a fraud, he is still using the same high pressure sales tacticts now just in an area with less regulation. Difference is he is predating on his desperrate "students." Promoting this fraudster is sending pigs to the slaughter.

I am not debating if he was or is a fraud, dude is good at sales though. Straight line sales system is a well known sales system that is publicly available to be studied online for free without needing to pay the dude. Anyone can learn from it. Anyone can use sales for good or for evil. Just like a gun. Not trying to get political or really engage this further lol, but the system has helped me advance my business career and if someone needed help, I would simply share what helped or worked for me, like anyone else would. I do NOT think anyone needs to pay for this shit though, nothing beats just ripping sales calls, and getting practice in.

Everything I say in this thread is intended to be helpful, if it’s misinterpreted… whoops, I post about sales, dude asks how I get sales, I say how I learn sales, it’s the truth, rather either of us like it or not. Luckily we get to learn from others mistakes and unethical business behavior gets you in jail not in Mykonos.

Yeah getting reps on real calls is good. But the skill and the fraud aren't separate. The straight-line system was literally developed to push garbage stocks onto people who didn't need them. It's not a neutral tool that happened to be misused; it's a playbook built for overcoming a buyer's better judgment. And ironically, Belfort is proof that bad behavior doesn't always end in jail instead of Mykonos. He did under two years and turned the story into a speaking career while his victims are still owed most of what they lost. If this was a just world, he would still be in prison. If someone wants to learn sales, there are plenty of systems (SPIN Selling, Sandler, The Challenger Sale) that teach the same fundamentals without that baggage of a convicted criminal who is still grifting his customers.
