Shelby Sapp (aka Shelby Haas) used to go door to door selling pest control to drooling dads who couldn’t say no.
Pretty sure they still had spiders… and blue balls.
Worth it! They got to watch Shelby jiggle back to her pink Porsche SUV, ASU ‘SOLDU’ plate and all, after she ran their card.
Now Shelby charges nearly $3,000 to turn you into a globe-trotting, bag-securing QUEEN by teaching remote closing.
Reddit begs to differ.
They say she’s inexperienced, inflating her D2D numbers, and that less than 1% of She Sells Academy students actually make money.
Also? Scammer. Lawsuit. Miami Dade County. Look it up.
But is this just a case of “you hate me ’cause you ain’t me”?
Let’s rewind.
Even as a kid, Shelby knew she wanted to be a badass businesswoman.
At 7, she launched her first hustle: painting nails.
Always the overachiever, she figure skated and earned both her bachelor’s and master’s in just four years at Arizona State University.
During the summers, she took her business mentor’s advice (against her mom’s wishes) and started selling door to door back in Minnesota.
Despite little training, no social support, and an industry full of bros, she shot up the ranks fast – then held the door open with her high heel so other chicks could follow.
But then a guy friend told her about remote high-ticket sales.
And she’s all, “Say what now?”
And he’s all, “Watch and learn, sweetheart.” Hops on Zoom, does his thing.
So she’s like, “Pfft, gimme one.” Logs on, gives it a shot.
Twenty minutes later? $500 commission.
Which, the old way, would’ve meant 13 hours in the heat while overweight Vikings fans mansplain their ant problem – real bad this year, donchaknow.
And just like that, door knocking was dead to her.
This was a no-brainer upgrade:
- Work from anywhere, taking sales calls for a creator or company.
- No cold outreach – just warm, inbound leads from organic traffic or paid ads.
- Leads are screened by some sorta qualification system.
- A setter speaks with them first, ensuring they’re serious and have the cash.
- Then you, the closer, hop on Zoom and take their money for fat commission checks.
What’s not to like?
Today, when she’s not thirst-trapping those yams into oblivion, Shelby runs three companies:
- She Sells Academy (now She Sells Remote) – a three-month certification for girls who wanna make reliable income online, even if they have zero experience and would rather work the pole than sell.
- Placement Portal – a job board for She Sells grads to land remote sales gigs fast and start cashing in right away.
- Mossii – a holistic nutrition brand she and her bestie started in college that slings sea moss gummies to the wellness crowd.
If you’re a woman ready to take sales seriously, get insanely thorough training in one niche, and lock in a job asap – so you can make bread with honey, girl – She Sells is for you.
But is it legit?
Ask Gracen. Shelby helped her perfect her script, nail pain points, and connect with clients.
Now she’s an absolute menace with a close rate to match.
Gracen also became a coach for Tier 3 of She Sells Academy, where students get prepped to take live calls before they graduate.
Or Cyan, who came in hating her casino job.
She Sells connected her with a mental health and mindfulness offer, and she’s been crushing it ever since.
Being able to work remotely – and sell something she actually believes in – has made all the difference.
Of course, Cyan’s now a Tier 2 coach in the program.
Again, looks like the cost is around $3k with a 7-day refund policy.
And yeah, maybe Shelby skipped the whole “mastering remote sales” phase and went straight to guru mode. But D2D has to be way harder, so I’ll give her a pass on that.
She Sells by Shelby Sapp has 4.4 stars on Trustpilot after 33 reviews and a B+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, with only one complaint.
So, who knows, maybe Reddit was just extra salty that day?
Q&A
Q: Shelby Sapp net worth?
A: Safe to say whatever she made convincing your uncle to pay $75 a visit for some tech to douse his foundation in cancer water… was blown on lifestyle. But selling $3,000 passwords for SheSells Academy? That’s real money. And with shawty looking like a thermos of hot water, she’s not exactly struggling to get attention and stuff people into her funnel – which, to be fair, has great branding, gorgeous design, and solid copywriting. All this to say, she’s gotta be making millions as the female version of… I dunno, Andy Elliott?
Q: What are some downsides of remote high-ticket sales?
A: There’s a bazillion programs teaching this now, so it’s getting crowded. And most offers don’t have enough leads. So they can’t screen that hard, or you’d have no calls. You end up with a spotty calendar of unvetted brokies who haven’t watched anything, and just hopped on to hear the price. After an hour, they tell you they’ll reapply in three months when their baby daddy catches up on child support. And even if you do close a deal, a lot of sales aren’t paid in full, so your commission isn’t as “high ticket” as you were promised. Then come the refunds and chargebacks, which get clawed outta future checks. Oh, and while it’s remote, you still have a schedule, a boss, and calls to take. So let’s not pretend this isn’t job-adjacent, even if you get to pace around the crib naked while you do it.
Q: What’s a better alternative?
A: Instead of convincing people to dip into their 401(k) for a $10,000 coaching program from some guy who’ll be shut down by the FTC in six months, do what I do: rank small websites in Google, rent them to local businesses, and get paid every month for work you did once. Watch this video.
