Top 1% earning potential, from home
Tech sales is a performance-driven career where you can earn multiple six figures without spending decades climbing a broken ladder, and most of the best roles are fully remote.
We turn overlooked people into the most obvious hire in the room
SWORD Advisory exists for one reason: to help people build the skills and experience needed to break into remote, six-figure tech sales careers.

Who we help
If you see yourself in this, you are in the right place
We do not work with everyone. We work with people who want more for their families than they were handed, and are willing to do the work to get it.
No more 3% raises
Stop waiting years for a promotion that never comes, or small raises that barely keep up with inflation. You deserve a career that grows as fast as you do.
Get paid for your performance
Move to a performance-driven income where your paycheck actually reflects your results, instead of your job title or how long you have been at the company.
Build a career you love
Work in an environment built for ambition, with the flexibility to live life on your own terms and be present with the people who matter most to you.
The founder's story
May 9th, 2016. Handcuffed in the back of a cop car.
Six years later: married, a son, a house, and $194K on his W2. This is the whole story, in Jack's words.
Chapter 01 · Rock bottom
My life was over
I had dropped out of college twice. I was five years into a drug addiction. On May 9th, 2016 it ended the way everyone around me quietly expected it to: handcuffed, in the back of a cop car, and booked into a jail cell.
There was no plan, no backup, and no version of my future that anyone, including me, could see working out.
Chapter 02 · The turn
What I heard in that cell
I was not looking for religion. I was out of options. And it was in that cell that God spoke to me:
“Jack, you're in jail because you've been living life your way. If you live life for me, I'll give you a brand new life.”
I was in. Full surrender. I made Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior that year, and I had absolutely no concept of how He was going to rebuild anything.
Then someone told me about tech sales.
Chapter 03 · The climb
No degree. No network. No experience.
A door opened for me to work as an SDR at a tech company. I had nothing that was supposed to qualify me, but I fell in love with the craft of outbound sales, and I found success early.
I made $99K in my first year, from home. Then I promoted through management roles, and the income followed.
Four years in tech sales

Year 3$150K

Chapter 04 · What it actually bought
The money was never the point
A married man with a present wife and an engaged father for our son. My wife stays home with him full-time. We bought a house. And I get to be the hands and feet of Jesus inside an industry that badly needs it.
And then this
We bought our full-time missionary friend a car so he can share the gospel coast to coast.
That is what abundance is for. Glory to God.
Chapter 05 · Why SWORD exists
So, what do I do now?
It would be a sin to enjoy the blessing tech sales has been in my life and not hand it to someone else.
So that is what I do now. I have helped 250+ people do the exact same thing, most of them landing $80–90K roles in about a month.
Not because they were more talented than you. Because I taught them how to do the job so they could get the job. That is the whole key, and it is why my clients break records at the companies they join.
“Yeah, but not me”
Every reason you think this won't work for you
We have heard all six. Each one has already been broken by someone who was more disqualified than you are.
“I don't have a degree.”
Neither does Jack. He dropped out twice. Tech sales is one of the last high-income industries that screens for coachability and work ethic over credentials, because quota does not care where you went to school.
Went from $10/hr at Best Buy to $106K.

“I have zero sales or tech experience.”
Good. You have no bad habits to unlearn. We train the actual craft, prospecting, cold calls, discovery, objection handling, before you ever interview, so you walk in sounding like a rep instead of an applicant.

“I'm too old. I started too late.”
Hiring managers are not buying your age, they are buying your maturity, resilience, and ability to hold an adult conversation with a stranger. Most career changers are better at that than 22-year-olds, not worse.

“I have a record. A past. Something on paper.”
There is a public case number on this page and it belongs to the founder. A past does not disqualify you from a career. Being unable to explain it does. Nick Conway thought his record would stop him from getting hired anywhere, and he had an $80K offer 25 days later.
Arrested at 19. $194K W2 by 2023.

“The job market is brutal right now.”
It is brutal for applicants. It is not brutal for people who show up already doing the job. When 600 people apply through the front door, the one who arrives with proof is not competing with 600 people at all.
“600 applicants and you’re the only one that made it through.”
Kyle Lynch · SDR at Pantheon.io
“I've tried before and it didn't work.”
You were almost certainly optimizing the wrong thing: more applications, a prettier resume, another certification. None of that changes what a hiring manager sees. Doing the job before you get the job does.

Why SWORD
What SWORD does differently
That difference is the entire reason our clients average 35 days to an offer while everyone else averages six months of silence.
The typical course or bootcamp
- Sells you a course and leaves you to figure out the job search alone
- Teaches you to apply harder: more resumes, more portals, more silence
- Recorded videos and a Slack channel nobody answers
- Generic templates that look like every other applicant's
- Support ends the moment you pay
- No guarantee, no accountability, no refund
SWORD Advisory
- 1-on-1 coaching with a former hiring manager who has placed 250+ people
- Teaches you to do the job first, so hiring managers see a rep, not an applicant
- Daily accountability and real feedback from your coach, every single day
- Resume, LinkedIn, branding, and interview decks rebuilt against real screening criteria
- Coaching continues after you sign, through ramp, quota, and your first promotion
- 90-Day Job Placement Guarantee: don't land a role, get your money back
What that looks like in practice
Three clients, three former careers
