What happens when you combine a bold mindset, a blue-collar market, and a game-changing tech offer? You get Richard Avileli—one of the newest GSD Partners, already making waves by closing $30K in deals within just his first three months.
We recently sat down with Richard to talk about his journey: where he came from, why he bet big on Voice AI, and how the GSD Partner Program helped him go from door-to-door sales to confidently pitching $10K+ offers to enterprise clients.
Here’s what stood out.
Before joining GSD, Richard was running companies the old-school way—on foot, with physical products, pounding pavement. One of his businesses sold chemicals to major retailers like Walmart. But even with multi-million-dollar revenue under his belt, Richard saw the writing on the wall: physical labor was being replaced. AI wasn’t a threat—it was the opportunity.
So he jumped.
“I’m not a tech guy,” Richard told us. “But I knew I wanted to be in AI, and I saw Voice AI as the biggest opportunity right now. It’s in its infancy. If you wait five or ten years, you’ll be too late.”
In just three months, Richard closed nearly $30,000 in revenue, with monthly retainers that will compound over time. His latest win? A $6,500 setup fee and $1,000/month for a septic and waste services company, just to solve a simple phone and dispatching issue using Voice AI.
“I had another $10,500 deal pending that week, too,” he said. “It’s a no-brainer when you show people how much money they’re losing by not following up on calls or leads.”
And these weren’t small mom-and-pop businesses. Richard is actively targeting mid-market and enterprise-level companies, some with deal sizes ranging from $250K to $3M+.
One of Richard’s biggest lessons? Shut up and listen.
“The best thing I learned from GSD was to just stop talking,” Richard said. “Ask smart questions, let them fill in the blanks. They’ll literally tell you exactly how to close them.”
He credits the GSD Partner Program’s “Sales Jedi” training for giving him the confidence and simplicity to close like a pro, even with zero tech background.
“It’s like handing a glass of water to a drowning man if you talk too much. Just grab his hand and pull him out.”
Richard was crystal clear about why GSD worked for him when others hadn’t.
“I’ve spent over $100,000 on personal development. This is the best program I’ve ever joined,” he said. “It’s like the mushroom in Mario—you eat it and suddenly you’re 10X bigger.”
From tech support at 1 AM to help closing big deals on the fly, Richard pointed to the mentorship, fulfillment team, and done-for-you systems as the ultimate edge.
“If you’re not tech-savvy, if you’re working a full-time job, if you’re a single mom—this program still works. Everything is done for you. You just have to pick up the spoon and eat.”
Richard isn’t here to build a side hustle. His sights are set on $5M to $10M in the next year, and he’s not guessing how to get there. His strategy?
He’s already building momentum and learning how to navigate enterprise sales with multiple stakeholders, turning buyers into long-term strategic partners.
“If I didn’t join GSD, I’d be lost,” he said. “You can try to figure it out on your own—or you can plug into something that’s already proven and get results faster.”
“If you’re hesitant to spend $500 on your future, you’re not going to sell anything to anyone. The people succeeding in Voice AI aren’t waiting. They’re bold. They’re in.”
Richard’s story proves that you don’t need tech skills, agency experience, or a huge team to win. You just need a high-leverage offer, the right systems, and a willingness to take action.
