Why Sirens to Sales

First of all, thank you for subscribing! I’m thrilled to have you on this ride from Sirens to Sales.

A few months ago, something started happening. I began getting messages from officers—across the country, no less—asking about the big leap into the corporate world. Some were gearing up for retirement, while others were thinking about jumping ship a little earlier than planned. But here’s the kicker: most of them had no idea what to expect on the other side.

And that’s where I come in. After 16 years in law enforcement and 10 years in sales, I can confidently say: sales is the perfect fit for the skills you already have. You’ve got communication down, crisis management nailed, and the ability to remain calm under pressure? Those are the traits that will make you thrive in the corporate world.

But here’s the thing: this isn’t just about landing a sales job. Oh no, my friend. This newsletter is your inside track to navigating the whole transition—what to expect, how to approach it, and yes, the good, the bad, and the occasionally hilarious (because let’s face it, a little humor goes a long way when talking about career changes).

Ever since I started sharing my advice with fellow officers, those messages have been coming in faster than a patrol car on a high-speed chase. And, to be honest, I’m blown away by the power of LinkedIn’s networking—I've spoken with dozens of officers all over the country, and it’s been nothing short of inspiring.

Now, as I get my sea legs under me, I’m sure the newsletter’s format and layout will evolve. But one thing won’t change: this is your go-to resource for all things sales and career transition.

Buckle up—it’s going to be a fun ride. And thanks again for hopping on!
