I have created over 150 products in 20 years online. I sell globally and manufacture all of my products in Australia using local tradespeople. I sell B2B, B2C, wholesale and direct from my many websites across the globe. I have created over 60 websites, licensed my products worldwide and sell to some of the largest companies on the planet.

The internet is a very crowded space to earn a living. I sell primarily into the B2B industrial markets with my own product range. All the skills I have learnt over 20 years in business I will be sharing in my online training courses and through 1-on-1 mentoring.

Rob Whittle — CEO, Spillrite Industrial & Sellrite Digital
A Proven Blueprint

Step-by-Step Guidance From an 18-Year Manufacturing Veteran

Rob Whittle started with nothing — no university degree, no business experience, and no idea how to sell online. What he had was a willingness to learn everything that was needed, and the discipline to see it through.

Today Spillrite Industrial competes with the largest vacuum manufacturers on the planet. Spillrite products are ATEX certified, carry NATO certification for explosion proof vacuums, and are used by the Australian military, the U.S. military, airlines, mining companies and shipping companies worldwide.

Rob now works one day per week on average and makes considerably more than when he was employed full time. He built that outcome step by step — and he shares every part of how he did it through his training programs and mentoring.

The Story

From Qantas Cabin Crew to Competing with the World's Largest Vacuum Manufacturers

When Rob started 18 years ago he knew nothing about online selling or creating his own product. He was employed with Qantas Airways as a Long Haul crew member — a job he loved. But he could see the writing on the wall. Conditions were getting harder, pay was staying the same, and it was quietly losing buying power. He knew that if he stayed, he would never have the lifestyle he wanted.

So he threw himself into it and learned everything that was needed. At first he was terrified.

What Rob Was Afraid Of When He Started

  • What if I fail and become unemployed
  • How do you even sell online
  • How do you compete with big companies
  • How do you sell wholesale
  • How do you make a quality product
  • How do I deal with engineers who have been to university
  • How do I deal with purchasing managers
  • How does the whole B2B sales thing work
  • How do you make a product that kicks arse
  • How do I setup a sales funnel
  • How do I get on to page 1 of Google
  • How do I create a hero image
  • How do I create a YouTube video ad

The list was endless. Now 18 years later, Rob has done everything he was afraid he would fail at.

"I have never been to university but I believe if you have the fire in your belly to learn and succeed, you will. And a good dose of fear helps. There is nothing that I don't know about selling online, getting onto page 1 of Google, designing and manufacturing a quality product, B2B sales and competing with big scary competitors."
