How It All Started

My name is Marcus Chan, and I’ve been recognized by Salesforce and LinkedIn as one of the top sales experts in the world, and I don’t think there is anyone as obsessed as I am with helping salespeople crush it in sales.

When I started in B2B sales I thought I'd be absolutely amazing.

I wasn't.

In fact, I was the worst rep when I started in sales. I struggled to have any sort of success.

I struggled booking appointments and even if I could book an appointment... the sales call was like a train wreck.

I went 7 weeks without closing a single deal while all my peers were having decent success. The worst part was that I was literally outworking them all... with the HIGHEST activity numbers on all the dashboards... with nothing to show for it.

Imposter syndrome set in hard. I was completely second-guessing myself for even going into sales.

I blamed my manager for not training me, the looming Recession, the lack of training, the bad territory, poor marketing, lack of leads and more.

The stress overwhelmed me. I stopped eating healthy and working out. I started to gain weight.

My terrible results also made me moody and grumpy with even my loved ones and friends.

I knew in my heart that this frustrated them as they never knew "which version" of Marcus I was going to be.

I felt disgusted and disappointed with this version of myself especially since I had never felt this level of failure before. I didn't think I could feel even worse.

Then my manager asked me to come into his office at 4 PM on a Friday afternoon. He threatened me with a PIP and told me if I didn't figure it out soon, I'll be fired. This made me even more depressed and frustrated. I had never felt this low.

I felt like I was letting my girlfriend down, my parents, HER parents. But worst of all? I was letting myself down.

That’s when I decided enough was enough. I knew that if I didn’t change, nothing would change.

As cheesy as it was, I had been reading Tony Robbin’s books and felt inspired by him.

It felt like a small shining light in the mental darkness and anguish I was living in.

I knew he had an upcoming event in California, Unleash the Power Within, but I was scared because I couldn’t afford it on my $29,500 base salary.

It would be around $8000 all in for the ticket level I wanted and travel costs.

But I also knew that the BEST version of myself would invest in my future.

So if I wanted to become the best version of Marcus?

I’d have to act as if I was ALREADY that person and make decisions like him too.

So I pulled the trigger and put it on my credit card.

The anxiety deepened after I clicked “submit” but I committed to myself that I’d make it back as fast as humanly possible.

The next weekend I attended the event…

And it completely shifted how I thought about life and peak performance.

I started to operate at a whole new level.

I started to invest time and money into sales courses, coaches, and conferences.

Within 3 months of being in sales, I became #1.

I stayed #1 for 9 more months earning two promotions during that time.

I had almost 10X’ed my initial investment.

Fast forward 12 more years and I ended up staying in B2B sales. And I feel fortunate as I achieved some cool things as a result:

Promoted 12X in 8 years at two Fortune 500 companies

Hit and exceeded quota up to 250% for 13 consecutive years

Hit #1 in every single role winning all types of awards such as President Club awards

In my last role, I was a Corporate Director leading 110+ employees in one of the top regions in the country
Trained thousands of others to achieve massive sales success

By 35 I was put in a position to be able to do whatever the heck I wanted to do. I knew that in my next life I wanted to give back to the world so I left it all behind.

I realized to truly SELL is to SERVE at the HIGHEST LEVEL.

I launched Venli Consulting Group at the end of 2019 to help B2B sales professionals sell more and sell better. More importantly, to SERVE at the highest level!

As you can imagine, even with having some pretty cool success in my corporate life... it was still a scary jump into entrepreneurship especially since the stats are scary…

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately...

- 20% of businesses fail within the first year

- 50% of businesses fail by the end of the 5th year

- 70% of businesses fail by the end of the 10th year

So that first year, I invested $10,000 into a business coach. I wanted to increase my chances for success. The result?

We scaled to 7-figures in 18 months with zero funding, while maintaining industry-leading profit margins.

I’ve now invested over $200,000 into coaches and masterminds over the last 5 years and have continued to see exponential growth with the company.

But more importantly, we've been able to impact thousands of reps around the world with our training resources and we've gone on to work with over 700 clients helping them win at sales teaching them all the secrets I’ve figured out over the years.

Our success has also garnered us some fortunate attention as well…

I've been featured in Forbes, Yahoo! Finance, MarketWatch, CNBC, LinkedIn, Entrepreneur, 150+ industry-leading podcasts, and I’m an executive member on the Forbes Business Council.

I've been fortunate even in the fact that the

Salesforce recognized me as 4X as one of the top sales experts to follow globally.

How was I able to achieve this type of success in such a short time?

2 key reasons:

#1 I truly believe in the power of training and coaching as it’s a cheat code for sales, life, and business success. That is why I’ve invested over $250,000 over the years into my own growth and development.

It literally saves me the “Ignorance Tax” of trial and error and lost opportunities. If I hadn’t invested in myself back in 2007 and unlocked the power of coaching, chances are real good that I’d still be stuck in some low-paying job hoping to retire by 65. (And you definitely would not be reading this)

It would have COST me the incredible life I have today if I had not taken action and started this journey of working on myself.

#2 I teach the exact proven framework and methodologies I've learned over my 13 years in selling and leading teams at the highest levels. I’ve simply applied it to the growth of my own business.

But here’s the cool part:

I’ve taken all my best secrets and I’ve compiled them into programs for teams and individuals.

This is my mission. This is my life’s work.

So if you’re ready to build a team - or become the salesperson - that consistently blows out their revenue targets and closes bigger deals without relying on constant micromanagement or hand-holding...

Our programs are designed for your team and you.

I didn’t come from wealth or a natural gift for sales.

I was the awkward, introverted kid of poor immigrant parents.

However, I discovered a simple, repeatable sales system that transformed my career and helped me achieve financial freedom by my early 30s.

If it worked for me, it can work for your team and you.

To your success,
