What happened in the $75K fanny pack sale?

A buyer in a fanny pack, written off as a so-called bum, walked into a luxury dealership and paid cash for the most expensive car on the lot. Amanda was the intern, and she walked away with the sale. Her lesson: stop judging, start listening, and lead every conversation with curiosity and respect.

Why did Amanda leave Silicon Valley?

She was grinding 100-hour work weeks in Silicon Valley. Amanda walked away from that big money to put her health, her family and her fulfillment first, then built her life and business around her values. By working smarter, she ended up with a more profitable business.

On this episode of Call The Damn Leads, I sit down with Amanda Northcutt—a high-level sales pro turned six-time executive and now the founder of a multimillion-dollar coaching company. This episode isn’t just about sales. It’s about growth. Personal, professional, and everything in between.

From selling Lexuses at 19 to coaching thought leaders who command $50K keynotes, Amanda has seen—and sold—it all. She shares her journey from grinding 100-hour work weeks in Silicon Valley to building a life and business around her values. We dig deep into the psychology of sales, how to lead from the front, and what it really takes to position yourself as a peer, not a peddler.
