I am 20 years old and my business has tanked.

I have $300 left to my name and I need to start cash flowing as fast as humanly possible.

My plan is to get back into sales cash flow 5-10k per month then roll that money into entrepreneurial ventures

I have two years of sales experience -Tech SDR -logistics AE -selling my own offer (small business SAAS)

My question is: What type of sales should I pursue

Tech sales
Commission only High ticket closing for personal brand offers (coaching, courses, etc)

I really dislike the corporate space but I know I could land a pretty high paying tech sales job fast with my resume.

High ticket sales is what I really want to do but the barrier to entry is much greater. It’s all about who you know, networking and would take time that I don’t have

What should I do. By this time next month I NEED to be making 5k minimum per month

Can you consistently work hard?

At your age I was minus $30K from school debt. You got this.

I wouldn’t be against blue collar hustle work to make $ and have no risk on being able to generate. Hit houses and bag leaves + offer power washing and eaves cleaning, you can make $500-$1,200+ / day.

More sophisticated work - get companies qualified meetings for $200 plus 10% of sales as they happen, take 3/4 clients on and double down on the good ones, getting them on retainers once they trust you. Startups may pay this.

Need a unique outbound message with a follow up call. This is super doable. I have a lot not experience and am old now, but we sell 7-figure contracts now and it’s an absolute blast. We help companies and their greatly benefited.
