Not Just Another Sales Guru

He’s a guy who’s been in the trenches, faced the challenges, and comes out on top. Over the past 30 years, John has built businesses from scratch, coached sales teams to break records, and developed sales strategies that have generated hundreds of millions in revenue. But his journey hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows, and that’s what makes his story so powerful

Entrepreneurial Spirit

John started his career with big dreams and little money. His first business, a web hosting company called TBhost.com, grew at a staggering 100% annual rate for over a decade. After selling that company, he founded Nexmation, a consulting and staffing firm that worked with some of the biggest names in the world—IBM, Deloitte, FedEx, and more. Along the way, he’s built sales call centers, created killer sales scripts, and trained teams that consistently outperformed the competition.

Overcoming Challenges

But John’s story isn’t just about success. He’s also faced massive setbacks—bankruptcy, personal loss, and even a time when he had to rely on food stamps to feed his family. Yet, he didn’t let those moments define him. Instead, he used them as fuel to rebuild his life and career, eventually becoming one of the top sales agents at one of the largest Insurance Companies in the world and a multi-million-dollar real estate investor.

The Power of Belief

John’s secret? It’s not just about knowing how to sell—it’s about believing in yourself, setting clear goals, and refusing to give up. That philosophy is at the heart of his book, Stop Selling, Start Believing. Packed with actionable strategies, it’s a blueprint for anyone who wants to crush their sales goals, overcome objections, and build a life they’re proud of.

John’s writing and teaching cut through the fluff and get straight to what works. He’s lived every lesson he shares and tested every strategy in the real world. Whether you’re a seasoned sales pro, an entrepreneur, or just someone who feels stuck, John’s no-nonsense approach will show you how to level up your mindset, your career, and your life.

If you’re ready to stop making excuses and start making actual progress, John Kaufman is the mentor who will help you get there. His story is proof that it’s never too late to believe in yourself—and succeed.
