TexasUSB came out strong this week — learning fast, growing every day, and staying positive through all the highs and challenges💪

We’ve already knocked on hundreds of doors, made meaningful connections, and most importantly, started becoming the people we came here to be. This is just the beginning.

Let’s keep the momentum going — Week 2, let’s get it! 🚀

Hey everyone! 👋

My name is Diana, and I’ll be writing here every week about how things are going with our team, what kind of fun and crazy stories we’ve experienced! 🔥

We’ve got a full team of 9 awesome people: Mark, Valera, Sergei, Erik, Anastasija, Daniil, Jaroslav, Diana and Hugo! 💪

📚 Sales School: How It Went

Sales School is officially over and done ✅

We had four intense days, and here’s what a typical day looked like:

• 6:59 AM (yep, not a minute earlier or later⏰) — wake-up call! If you think you get ready fast in the morning… you probably have never been to our Sales School❗️First shock for all the FY’s: as soon as the alarm goes off – BAM – someone’s already in the shower within one second. Not two, not three – ONE! 😱
• 7:06 AM sharp – we run out of the room and sprint to breakfast 🚀 Forgot something in the room? 🤷‍♀️ That’s your problem now. You can’t go back all day. Figure it out, make it work – but going back is not an option.
• From 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM – speakers giving talks 🎤
• Quick 10-minute snack break 😅
• Then comes the real action – running around a lot, in the heat, with backpacks, folders, tablets… and knocking on doors 🚪🔥
• More lectures, where we train approaches (that part where you knock on a door and someone opens it)
• 10:59 PM – lights out and straight to bed 🛌

💬 What our team said about Sales School:

Valera: Sales school was okay – could’ve been tougher 🙂

Erik: Sales school was fun. It was chaos with elements of the army. From the outside, it looked like an anthill where every blue shirt is an important part of a big system.

Anastasija: it was fun to attend new meetings, it was educational, I learned a lot of new things.

🚗 Off to Texas!

After Sales School, we finally headed to Texas, where everyone split up into their own cities and moved into some pretty cool homes! 🏠🔥

We’ve already finished our first 3 days, and here are a few stories and first impressions:

Danik: Just like they said, it wouldn’t be easy – and it really isn’t – but at least it’s fun, and most of the people are nice.

Erik: We’ve got a great place to stay, with two pool tables right in the middle of the room 🎱

Hugo: Around noon or 1 PM, when the sun was blazing like crazy, I worked for over an hour without water because I just couldn’t find a proper door where someone would give me some. At some point, I started feeling dizzy and crappy. But then I found a construction worker doing renovations in a house, and he pointed me to a fridge in the garage and said I could take whatever I wanted. The fridge was full of water and Gatorade – and man, that felt amazing. It was like being born again, and I got back to work with fresh energy 💪

Anastasija: For the first time, I went through a full sales cycle in Russian with a Ukrainian girl, and it wasn’t so easy. Mama Ira made homemade lemonade! 🍋

That’s how Daniil and Jaroslav are getting ready for the day🔥

🏖 Sunday 

On Sunday, our whole team got together by a small lake. It was both productive and super fun:

• We had a meeting and set our goals for the week and the summer 🎯
• Took a swim in the lake 🌊
• Played volleyball 🏐
• And had a great meal together 🌮

We’re ready and pumped for the new week! 🚀
