Entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart. It requires grit, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to the vision—traits that Matthew Galpin has in abundance.
From selling steaks door-to-door at age 15 to leading a thriving sales training company, Galpin’s journey defies traditional career paths. Today, as the founder of Profits Prophet, he’s helping sales professionals master the principles of persuasion, not just push products.
The Unconventional Path to Success
Galpin’s introduction to sales came with a steak-filled cooler and a set of front doors to knock on. What started as a way to earn cash quickly became a crash course in human psychology. “Sales was never just about making money,” he says. “It was about rewriting my future.”
Over the years, he refined his skills across industries—automotive, SaaS, military, and healthcare—only to realize that most sales training programs were missing a key ingredient: skill mastery.
“Too many salespeople are trapped in one niche,” Galpin explains. “But the real magic happens when you learn to sell anything, anywhere.” That realization led to the birth of Profits Prophet, a platform designed to help sellers develop universal, adaptable skills that transcend industries.
Building a Business from the Ground Up
Like most entrepreneurs, Galpin faced intense challenges in his early days. He lacked funding, confidence, and social media knowledge. Worse yet, he couldn’t even show his face online due to his full-time job.
“I knew I was stepping into a saturated market, but that never scared me,” he says. “Markets aren’t saturated with experts—they’re saturated with noise. My job was to cut through it.”
Through relentless execution, he did just that.
The Mindset Shift That Changed Everything
One pivotal moment in Galpin’s journey came when he was barely scraping by, making just $40 in two weeks, while others in his field were pulling in thousands. Instead of giving up, he studied, adapted, and improved.
That process of iteration became the foundation of his philosophy:
- Resilience is an asset—Use setbacks as learning opportunities.
- Your journey is your brand—Authenticity wins in business.
- Transferable skills are power—Sales, communication, and problem-solving open doors.
- Data is king—Test everything, keep what works, and discard the rest.
- Consistency wins—Success is the sum of daily efforts.
One of his favorite pieces of advice? “Where your head goes, your ass will follow. Make sure you’re thinking in the right direction.”
Scaling Up: What’s Next for Profits Prophet?
For Galpin, work isn’t just about money—it’s about freedom. “Burnout doesn’t come from working too hard—it comes from lacking the right resources,” he says.
As Profits Prophet continues to grow, he’s eyeing bigger opportunities—including global partnerships and expanding his influence in sales training worldwide.
What’s the ultimate goal? “World domination,” he says with a grin.
