How to get into tech sales: coursecareers.com/a/trent
The reason we make so much is because the completely of the deals. There are so many moving people that need buy-in approval to purchase a 100k license for an org. As a software sales rep the environment is always changing due to rapid innovation. Due to this you need to constantly be re-educating yourself on your product, the marketplace, and your customers organizations. A large part of the pay is based on performance, so there is some risk involved but overall large upside. On a really good year, it’s more than possible to make more than 400k…

Great Video especially for people who have already gone to college whether they actually graduated or not but have lived a little and feel like maybe they missed their boat or picked the wrong career....good to know you aren't actually stuck and how much of life is mental.... it's energy that makes money....the right type of energy.

Three Key Takeaways: 1) If you can be scrappy, be comfortable with working HARD, and learning from failure, then you can be very successful and make good money too, 2) This career path gives you autonomy because if you can hit your quarterly quota right away, then the next two months of the quarter you "HYPOTHETICALLY" have no BIG work to get done (the best SDRs/BDRs never stop though), 3) If you're only in this for the money, you'll burn out fast. Your thinking has to be larger than just making a lot of money. "Work to reach your potential, not your quota."

@@jzadams5818 it's been literally everything 🙌🏾🔥. I had no idea what a SDR actually did until I was accidentally interviewing. I thought it was just telemarketing. This is when I found Trent's channel and subscribed. Fortunately, I've been blessed to work at two employers with strong sales development orgs. My first SDR job had phenomenal cold-calling training and was great for people with no experience. Pretty flexible WLB, pay was decent, yet a little micro managey (not like other orgs where it's worse), and the software was good but kinda hard to explain to people, but best-in-class tech stack and sales intel tools. My current employer is amazing. We're given a lot of autonomy over our work flows and processes. The software I'd easy to sell and our vertical is good so a recession won't hurt us too much but you still never know. Leadership is comprised of top-tier salesmen themselves and they're very strategic when coaching us. No fake hype! And the guys are pretty competitive in a good way but also very collaborative. Pays a lot more than my last job. But unlike my first SDR job which was pretty diverse and progressive, my current employer is fairly conservative compared to other tech companies, very little diversity, and very few women, POC, or LGBTQ+ persons. But I will say this, even though I'm a Black gender and sexually queer person, I'm still treated well and helped and included. I think this company focuses more on results and performance than demographics. But like I said, very fun career! We're all being trained to become account executives and although we work hard, we still have a lot of fun. Hope that helps 💕.
