Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions along the way

Thanks Mia!

Really appreciate it, have a great week!

Good luck and let me know if you have questions in the future!

Update? I’m 22 and on my first month trying to break in. I would appreciate any feedback Thank you

Good luck Chris! Rejection is part of the process and everyone who has ever been in sales has had to deal with it. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions along the way.

Did you break into tech sales?

@@markcali626 yes I did. I currently looking into devops now.

Is that the job listing or is that feedback you received from a recruiter or someone at the company? Sounds like your experience is related

@@techsales-higherlevels I appreciate your response! You definitely earned my sub. So that’s just what’s listed in the job description. I applied tonight, but I’m afraid my resume will get lost in a sea of applications like most jobs. I’m reaching out to recruiters who work at that company to see if I can get any luck there.

@@thehuntgray you're going about it the right way, I'd do the same. Hard to say without knowing the differences between the two but I'd lean on your industry insights and mention you know how to sell to the same personas, etc...

It really depends on your situation. Do you have good conversations going with tech companies right now? Does the offer provide a good salary you're comfortable with? I think it may be good to get as a starting point but pending your situation it may be better to hold out for a true tech company

@@techsales-higherlevels I don’t get out of the military until may so I just started applying after watching your videos. I am young so I do have time to be risky but at the same time idk if experience would be better

Mainly to start networking at career fairs, LinkedIn, through your family, friends, alumni, etc.... Tech companies will love someone with an IT background that really wants to do sales. Lmk if you have any other questions as you prepare

Check out a few more videos on the channel but in short I would pick a type of tech you want to sell and target all of the companies in that vertical. That way you don't have to relearn tech for every interview and your efforts compound. Happy to get more specific, let me know if you have questions along the way

@@techsales-higherlevels great! Thanks a lot. I actually have a technical background. I’ve built my own projects on the side. Built my own portfolio website. No formal work experience. But I do have some technical experience

Hey Brian, were taught by multiple instructors that work at Public tech companies and have weekly live calls with the instructors directly. What are the biggest things you're looking for?

That's good experience as you can make calls and handle customers. I'd keep digging through the videos on the channel as there are many deep dives that talk about how to position your experience for tech. Beyond that if you want guided training with live coaching from myself and other reps you can check out our program at techsalesascension.com. No worries either way, lmk if you have any questions

Great background, I think the only answer is to pursue both. Network with leaders and reps at companies you want to work at and get their feedback. I would look at Enteprise SDR roles and also SMB AE roles

If you're set on sales and not interested in a STEM degree it could be a good path for you. That being said if there is a subject in college you would enjoy, could work a sales job in parallel, and get a scholarship/affordable tuition, it might be worth hedging your bet and pursuing a degree while you try sales. What kind of college would you go to if you did go?

@@techsales-higherlevels First, thanks for answering, I really appreciate it, haven't really thought about it too much yet, but referring to what I found out studying remotely is suitable for working on the side and is usually a lot cheaper than going to college physically. What I've thought about is doing and apprenticeship at a company that isnt necessarily tech related. I browse through a lot of different BDR/SDR job posts and if the roles have that type of requirements, it's usually either a bachelors degree OR a completed apprenticeship. And while I'm even getting paid for the apprenticeship and collect experiences in customer communication, I could connect with different recruiters and expand my network, so that after 2 years it would be easier to get into the tech companies, at least that's how it could work in my head lol. What do you think about doing an apprenticeship instead of getting a degree before going into tech sales?

@@philippbraun1773 If you get a relevant apprenticeship it could help build your resume towards it. I would just encourage you to use this time to explore a lot of options in depth. It doesn't have to be one or the other. As mentioned you could get an apprenticeship and study online, or you could go to college and sell cars, retail, solar, etc... to pay for tuition while building out the skillset. Use the time you have before graduating to really explore all the options and maybe even start by picking up a retail sales job in the meantime, etc...

@@techsales-higherlevels so you would go the college route if I understand that correctly? Either full or part time... So if you would have the choice you would prefer getting a degree rather than only getting an apprenticeship, or trying to break into tech sales with 18

@@philippbraun1773 no, re read my message. My point is you have time to explore all of these options before you graduate. So if you are actually making money before you graduate and you have a path to not need college then great, but if you're not in a sales job already or not one that allows you to support yourself then I would hedge your bet and work sales jobs while you go to college. If you get good enough to where you don't need to keep going to college then you can make that decision. That was the entire point of my last message. You don't make these decisions by just deciding, get experience now and put yourself out there and the path will become more clear wherever it goes.

Completely fine. We had a student late 30s with sales experience and experience as an autonomous vehicle technician that broke in and is currently a top performer at a large tech company

What did you graduate from and what did you study?

Definitely possible, its really about creating a compelling story as to why you want to break into sales in the first place. What have you done in your career before now?

Thank you for responding so quickly. I am looking for a new way to challenge my skill set and to increase income..

Are you already running a services business?

@@techsales-higherlevels Ive been an engineer for a while and have successfully ran some contracting companies. But found it hard to scale because I didnt have a good sales pipeline. Unfortunately Im starting over, and looking to get into the health space since the limited amount of business prospecting shows lots of potential. Im thinking of starting out as a broker for these specialized experts and then taking the talent in house. A lot of it is compliance work. I understand the tech, but not the compliance side. So Im wondering if I do that, or just work for someone else as sales since thats what Im most interested in. Owning a company is the most fulfilling for me.

Ya it definitely can depending where you want to go. What companies are you looking at?

@@techsales-higherlevels I have a bachelor's science degree in nursing but decided not to pursue it any further because I didn't like it. So I have a degree in nursing and did b2b sales for Verizon over 10years ago. I would consider myself new and decided not to include my previous sales experience since it was so long ago. With all that said not sure which company I should apply for let alone if that should even be a concern. Your thoughts?

@@R26Roman hard to say without a complete view of your background. What have you done since the sales job?

@@techsales-higherlevels nothing else related to sales. Unless you would account for eBay sales I made since the pandemic. I was in the army shortly right after working with Verizon and then just a regular job until about 4 years ago I pursued nursing. Graduated and here I am now. Staring watching your videos because I always liked tech and used many products from cloud storages to physical electronics. I made a LinkedIn page and ready to reach out to recruiters. Then it dawned on me. If I want to be successful in this career path does it matter what company I apply for? I would hate to be stuck in something without looking for the sign of no progression.

@@R26Roman I have a few videos on the channel discussing this and it's also something we cover in a lot of depth in our bootcamp (link in description to our free course if you want a preview of the full course). That being said it sounds like you're just getting into it. There's a lot of things that apply here. Keep me posted and I can try to help as best as possible.

Might recommend this video from your own channel: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idWercWQt5i-dWw.htmlsi=wC8KVfLUL0QBHMdx Thanks for taking the time to troll mine! Hope you're doing alright bud

Certainly wouldn't take his advice if I was trying to learn how to sell tech/software
