A 23-year-old sales manager who made $300,000 in just a few months has claimed the secret to her success is “being a literal psychopath.”

Shelby Sapp, an Arizona State University graduate from Miami, took to TikTok to share a candid insight into the mindset that helped her achieve a luxurious lifestyle. She started her career in door-to-door sales before moving up to lead a sales team. repetitions.

She bragged about her financial achievements, from owning a pink Porsche Cayenne – which starts at $72,900 – to taking sun-drenched trips, saying: ‘The top producers in sales are literally psychopaths – and I’m one of them.’

The content creator then told her 141,000 followers how they too could reach similar heights.

In the clip, which has been viewed more than 1.1 million times to date, Shelby spoke directly to the camera from her lavish car.

She explained: “My point is, if you want to be good at sales, you literally have to be a robot to yourself. You need to know that whether you are having a good day, a bad day or whatever you are feeling, it literally doesn’t matter.

“If you’re sad, it doesn’t matter. If you’re happy, it doesn’t matter. You have to be the same with the people you talk to. You must be so good at controlling your energy.

“That way, your potential customers won’t pick up bad vibes from you, because mediocre salespeople will be having a bad day — and their customers can literally feel it.”

She continued, “The best For reps out there, like myself, no one can tell if I’m having a good day or a bad day because I’m so stoic.

“I’m so sorry, but that’s what separates the really good reps from just the average and bad reps.

“We all say the same pitch, it has nothing to do with the words.”

Shelby concluded, “I keep telling you this. It has everything to do with mentality: your energy, your atmosphere, how you approach it, how you control yourself, your hard work.

“You literally have to be one of those robots and say, ‘I don’t care what happens today.’ My iPad could break, my phone could break – whatever. A dog could bite me, and I’m still going to open X number of doors. That way I can close X number of deals.”

She captioned the video: “Top salespeople must learn to control their emotions.”

According to Shelby’s LinkedIn, she focused all summer on sharpening her door-to-door sales skills while working for a pest control company. In one post, she revealed that she sold a whopping $315,000 worth of products in just a few months.

‘Last summer I sold door to door again. “I accomplished my two goals: selling $315,000 in revenue myself and training my team who sold about $1 million in revenue,” she wrote.

‘100 days of hard work from 8am to 10pm, knocking on doors in the heat to sell pest control contracts. It wasn’t the fanciest job, but I walked away as a million-dollar executive, the best female salesperson in the company and a six-figure earner.”

But despite Shelby’s impressive claims about her sales skills, her video was quickly flooded with comments, leaving viewers bitterly divided.

On the one hand, there were those who agreed with the content creator, as one person wrote: ‘Great job! This is my first year in sales and you are 100 percent right!

‘I hope to get there too! I’m saving enough to go back to school so I can pursue my passions.”

A second person commented: ‘I’m not a salesperson but these are certainly transferable skills for any business owner etc. Your emotions shouldn’t get involved.’

Another added: ‘Insurance sales here, and you’re absolutely right. Stifle the emotions and move on.”

Someone else wrote: ‘These are facts. This is coming from a $200,000 seller.”

But on the other hand, other followers disagreed with this insight.

One person wrote sarcastically: “I grew up rich but try to act like I earned it.”

A second person commented: ‘I literally don’t want to be a robot. I’m human, not AI.’

Another added: ‘I can’t stand people valuing themselves based on the things they can buy. It’s literally just stuff. I mean, think about it. It’s liberating when you realize it.’

A fourth person wrote: ‘This is such a good thing against capitalism. Prioritizing sales over your mental well-being is bad, very bad.”

“Being good at manipulation seems like a bad thing,” one person said.

Likewise, some followers responded to the comments with their personal experience.

One person commented: ‘I’d rather be broke than start selling again. I felt like a sleazeball.”

A second person wrote: ‘I made $300,000 in a year from media sales and it was the most depressed time I had ever experienced in my life. I used that money to build myself up while pursuing a career I enjoy – not buying a Porsche lol.”

A third person added: “I was in medical device sales and it was horrible. I went home and wasn’t happy with myself. It’s a sad way to live.’
