Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), and my business partner Chris Koerner (https://x.com/mhp_guy) as we discuss the world of sales and unexpectedly profitable business models, such as pest control, a field Chris has personal experience in. We examine how high incomes can be achieved through door-to-door sales, as well as the financial dynamics of the pest control industry. We also discuss the compensation structure of sales crews and the potential of renting out specialized licenses. We explore the idea of pest control as a convenience service rather than a necessity, and share the story of an entrepreneur who achieved remarkable success with a Christmas lighting business.

Questions This Episode Answers:

• How can door-to-door sales lead to high income, even seven-figure earnings
• What are the underlying economics of a high-margin service business like pest control?
• What are the less obvious revenue opportunities within established industries, such as renting out licenses?
• How can one identify and capitalize on "convenience" businesses?
