Jay Lee's Bio:

I felt called to full-time pastoral ministry through a cartoon caption from my colleagues' cubicle. As a result, I left the bank and I pursued a Master’s Degree in Divinity at Tyndale Seminary, the largest theological school in Canada, and spent the next fifteen years as a missionary evangelist, speaking to over 41,538+ people and helping coach 5,000 leaders and students and seeing over 10,000+ people coming to faith in Jesus. I was what you called the reluctant evangelist and a former extreme introvert. God literally transformed me by the Holy Spirit when I came to Christ at the age of 18. That’s a crazy story in itself.

I know this may sound weird in a sales context, but in those fifteen years, I saw over 10,000 people come to faith in Jesus. These were the reps necessary to crack the sales ninja code.

Working as a missionary meant I had to raise my own salary support. At one point, I was down to $1,000/mo while trying to pay bills, mortgage, and feed 3 kids. I remember hating going to the grocery store, for fear that my card would decline yet again and have to return grocery items. The embarrassment was paralyzing, especially growing up in an Asian culture where shame and honour is a huge issue. I remember making a vow that day, that if God gave me a super power to create wealth, that I would use that to break generational poverty and do whatever I could to help others do the same.

I don’t have any regrets and am passionate about transforming people’s lives by sharing the sales tools to gift them the ability to breakthrough their financial goals, spend more time with family, travel the world, have options, and bless others. With this in mind, I decided to find a way to end my poverty mindset forever and help others do the same.

I used to cold pitch people, use scripts, push people, and I sucked at sales. I was taught to push people over the edge whether they were a good fit, whether they had money, regardless of how they would put food on the table for their kids, and bully them for the credit card out of their wallets and the close using fear, shame, and scarcity tactics.

20 years later with a lot more knowledge and experience in the tool belt, I wasn’t sure what happened, but it’s like God in His magnificent love and mercy, gifted me with the proven principles to sell like a ninja. People kept calling me the “Sales Ninja” and it just stuck. I truly believe that sales without faith is dead. I was able to $105k in one month part-time, while working a full-time job, with 3 little kids and a brand new puppy. I have been privileged to help grow companies from $0-$1M, $5M, and $13M+ in a very short time. I was able to increase ticket prices by 4,900+% the original amount and literally one-call close $15k, $36k, and $50k high ticket offers in less than an hour. This past month I closed ~$350k part-time!

I had an 81% close rate and the past 3 months I was able to achieve a 96% cash collected rate. I’ve recently been able to close $1M+ in only 90 days part-time! I couldn’t even imagine these kinds of numbers before!

So for those of you who don’t understand what this all means, and it’s all Greek. Let me explain some numbers.

In the high ticket closing space, closers are posting wins of 15% or 20% close rates which is respectable. So they close 2 out of every 10 calls. I’m closing 8.

Closers are typically closing 10%-20% cash collected. I’m collecting 96%. So for every $10k package, others are collecting up to $2k. I've collected $9,645 for every $10k package. Hopefully this sheds like on the impact of the evangelistic gifts given from God and God alone. Faithful with little, entrusted with much.

The evangelistic gifts from God are truly transferable and can be used for God’s glory and sales.

After tens of thousands of hours studying, and spending over $100,000 on countless courses and masterminds, reading a lot of books, I found a way to end a poverty and scarcity mindset and you can too….

I finally developed a proven sales system without sounding sales, sleazy, or making prospects sleepy with your boring high ticket offers.

My goal and mission in life is to help provide the sales tools and empower high ticket coaches to sell more to give more and experience financial freedom, flexibility in time, and change the world by giving more.
