Summary
This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & CloseSales.AI LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Austin Medlin, the founder of CloseSales.AI who walked away from a $1.2M landscaping business because he had success but no joy — then rebuilt himself as a remote closer, took over 7,000 sales calls, and pulled in $7M+ in personal commissions along the way. Austin breaks down why "sales is service" instead of a sleazy hustle, the deep-questioning method that makes objections disappear before they happen, and how he's turned it all into an AI platform that reviews every sales call, writes custom scripts, and hands early users a piece of the company. Sales is the one skill nobody wants to admit they need — this episode makes it impossible to keep ignoring. 🔗 Connect with Austin Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theaustinmedlin YouTube: https://youtube.com/@austinmedlin Website: https://closesales.ai (code BRAD for 2 weeks free) Watch the full-length video version of any Dropping Bombs episode here on YouTube .
