Great video, I'm in Car Sales industry, with some years of cold calling experience years back in tech/cloud based products. I'm enjoying what I do but there is no way I can make 100k or more as a sales executive (at least at this main dealer where I am :D), I'm looking for a next step. Saas, properties? Would't SaaS paid off earlier?

Three Key Takeaways: 1) Tech/Software Sales is going to be one of the most lucrative sales industries to go into mainly because pretty much every company uses or works with tech and/or software. If you can sell that tech and/or software to companies, you're the highest in demand. Plus, tech companies tend to be a little more progressive (remote roles, catered lunches, great benefits, etc...), 2) Pharmaceutical Sales and Medical Devices Sales is going to be the second best sales industry to go into because they are always going to be needed. In this country (U.S.A.) everyone needs healthcare, so if you can sell it, or things related to healthcare, then you're setting yourself up for a smoother process. However, these two sales industries tend to be a bit more old-school (in-person roles, company car, dealing with new drugs almost every day, etc...), 3) The Real Estate and Sales Engineer sales industries are the last two, but they both have their benefits. With real estate, your have less company structure so you're able to control your time much more. The downside is that there is usually very little (if any) base pay. As faar as becoming a Sales Engineer, this is a good position if you're not into the "closing" aspect of the sales process and want to focus more on showcasing the product/service

Seeking tech sales career advice: I'm a junior data engineer pondering a shift to tech sales. Friends and colleagues think I've got what it takes. But I'm torn. Is it wise to invest more time in data engineering for stability? Then I could explore sales roles later. My main worry is hitting 30 soon. Still, I believe the right opportunity is worth the wait. Your thoughts are welcome.

Great vid, Trent. If your company has no upward mobility opportunities, is it feasible to go from SDR to AE at another company or do companies require prior AE experience when hitting AEs?
@dot85317 ай бұрын
A lot require prior AE experience due to closing, I finally just got promoted to AE and that was something they harped on big. But like he said it depends from job to job. I do hybrid tech sales, so they are a little more serious about closing and bringing in revenue

The problem is that I feel trapped. I’ve tried a couple times to do something else and I either couldn’t get out or it was a shitty Solar startup and I keep coming back.

@@TrentDressel It’s the tendency to end a declarative sentence (or a clause in a sentence) with a rising inflection.
