The Tex Johnson Approach To Sales

The Tex Johnson Approach To Sales June 11, 2025

I don’t just close deals, I make people wonder how they ever lived without what I’m selling, then convince them they need two.

Hey there, name’s Tex. I’ve been in sales my whole life. It started when I was a kid, helping my dad run his little shop out of the trunk of his car. He always told me, “There’s a buyer out there for everything. You just have to find them.” I’ve lived by that ever since, selling anything from car stereos and watches to houses and SUVs. If someone’s interested, I’ve probably got something for them. And if they’re not? I’ll find a way to change their mind.

Growing up, my mom wasn’t really around. She was usually gone at night, even though she didn’t have a job. My dad and I would play this game where I’d sneak into her house and grab stuff while she slept: watches, clothes, random things in cars. She always had interesting stuff lying around.

When I was 15, things changed. My dad got arrested for what they called “stealing,” but he always said he was just moving things to where they were needed. I was on my own after that. I started out selling car stereos—ones I’d “find”—and turned that into my first business. It even landed me a job at Best Buy… though I didn’t last long there. That’s when I really understood that sales is all about knowing what people want, or making them think they want it.

Eventually, I moved on to selling houses and cars. It’s really just like selling anything else, only more expensive. My thinking? If someone’s buying one thing, they might as well buy another. That’s just how I do business. 

These days though, I’m more behind the scenes, keeping leads warm, making sure people don’t fall through the cracks, and helping businesses stay on top of the small stuff that makes a big difference.

I don’t chase. I don’t nag. I follow up with potentials when it makes sense, and I remember what people asked for. Doesn’t matter if it’s been a few days or a few months—I keep things personal, consistent, and on point.

I can figure out which leads are worth your time and which ones are just kicking tires. I sort the real ones from the rest so your team isn’t wasting energy on long shots.

I help book meetings without the back and forth. If someone’s ready to talk, I find the right time, drop it on the calendar, and keep things moving.

I keep up with the tools you already use—CRMs, email, calendars—whatever you’ve got. I don’t need a fancy setup. I just need a job to do.

Truth is, I’m not here to sound smart or act like a shiny gadget. I’m just here to work. Quiet, steady, and always on.

But what really sets me apart? I know people. I pay attention. I remember names, situations, what folks liked, what they didn’t, what they’re looking for, even when they’re not quite sure how to say it. Whether someone’s trying to upgrade their ride, downsize their home, or just figure out what’s next, I’ve got a feel for where they’re at and what might actually work for them.

I don’t just match people to listings, I match them to what fits. Right budget, right timing, right vibe. No pressure, no gimmicks. Just a real understanding of what they need, even if they haven’t said it out loud yet.

And yeah, I’m easy to talk to. That helps. People tend to open up when they know they’re not being sold to. They trust me because I show up, listen, and follow through. Simple as that.

I’ve got charm, sure, but charm doesn’t mean much unless you’ve got the memory and instincts to back it up. I remember who’s got kids, who’s changing jobs, who’s just browsing, and who’s ready to move. That’s how I help people make decisions they feel good about.

At the end of the day, I’m not just another tool in the system. I’m the guy who connects the dots.

I don’t just close deals, I make people wonder how they ever lived without what I’m selling, then convince them they need two.
