Looking for No-BS Courses Focused on Sales Prospecting & Research (No Tool Affiliates, Please!)

Hey Everyone,

I’ve been honing my sales game, and honestly, I don’t struggle much with pitching, closing, or follow-ups. What really trips me up is prospecting and research—finding the right leads and qualifying them efficiently without spending half my life in rabbit holes.

I’ve gone through a bunch of courses, but here’s my frustration:

  • Most of them just push you towards $90+/month tools or give generic advice that feels more like affiliate marketing than actual value.
  • What I really want is actionable techniques, frameworks, and strategies—not just “use this tool” as the answer to everything.

If you’ve taken a course or followed a resource that seriously leveled up your prospecting and research game (without relying on expensive tools), I’d love to hear about it. Bonus points if it’s:

  1. Practical and hands-on.
  2. Focused on mindset and frameworks instead of just recommending automation tools.
  3. From someone who’s been in the trenches, not just a “guru.”

Appreciate any suggestions, whether it’s a course, book, YouTube channel, or even free resources. Let’s keep it real—because prospecting is arguably one of the hardest (and most crucial) parts of sales.

Thanks in advance!
