About this listen
They promised freedom. They delivered a script. When James Johnson signed on to knock doors for Alta Pest Control, he thought he was chasing the American Dream. Sunny neighborhoods, fat commissions, and a taste of entrepreneurial glory. Instead, he found himself inside a high-control sales cult dressed up as a summer job.
This is the story of what really happens behind the clipboard: the unpaid training, the psychological pressure, the fake positivity, the mandatory memorization, the cult-like mantras, the impossible bonuses, and the manipulation of 1099 laborers across multiple states.
Told with biting honesty and deadpan humor, this book is a frontline memoir about being sold a lie and what it takes to wake up, walk out, and tell the truth.
If you’ve ever knocked. If you’ve ever been pitched. If you’ve ever been trapped inside a system that smiled while it chewed you up. This one’s for you.
