In this high-energy episode of The D2D Podcast, Sam Taggart sits down backstage with world-renowned sales trainer Daniel G, who served as the opening keynote speaker at D2DCon Canada. Known as the “#1 Sales Trainer in the World,” Daniel has trained over 2 million professionals, spoken at more than 760 events worldwide, and built a following of over 5 million across platforms.

Daniel shares how his journey began knocking doors in Toronto, selling landscaping services as a teen. What started as a simple weekend hustle evolved into a lifelong obsession with mastering and teaching sales. Today, Daniel leads World Class Sales University, where he helps sales teams worldwide shift from survival mode to high-performance execution.

For new or struggling reps, this conversation is packed with actionable wisdom. This episode is not just about technique, it’s about the inner game of sales: discipline, gratitude, and the ability to find energy in every setback. Daniel’s philosophy proves that with consistent study and mental conditioning, anyone can create sustainable success in door-to-door and beyond.
