Your insights always resonate with me, and your journey from a "boring" career to a $90k+ tech sales job is truly inspiring! 🌟 I'm eager to know, what were the key strategies or shifts you made to transition into such a lucrative role? 🤔 Hoping for some personal communication soon, as I'd love to learn from your experiences firsthand!
Get actual sales experience even if it's a retail sales job and/or some type of non-profit experience like raising money for a club. Many things apply here but you can do so much but just using your time from 9AM to 9PM for school/skills, then socialize at night. Hope that helps and feel free to keep checking in as you get into it!
Will he graduating high school in exactly 10 days and I’m looking to break into tech sales instead of going to college next year I know it will be challenging but I’m willing to put in the work Any tips you can give me ?
In the short term you may try to see if there are tech companies that would hire a high school grad, but in parallel I'd strongly recommend getting any type of sales experience you can like auto sales, retail sales, or otherwise. With a year or two of legitimate sales experience, you can then transition into tech sales. Again it is possible to go right out of high school, but the companies are limited and often not great situations to be in, so if college is off the table I'd recommend getting a year of experience selling anything you can (at a legit company like a recognized car brand, etc...) then at that point with the experience and track record look at breaking in as an SDR. As much as an online certification can help (and I've helped several people without degrees break in), the people without degrees that I've helped break in do have some type of experience before breaking in. There are some notorious companies like Zoominfo that do higher people without degrees.
If you live in florida Texas California or maybe some other states you can try solar, and that's great experience. I followed what Eric said about getting another type of sales job and I think it's a good idea.
I have a business degree (just graduated) as well as sales internship experience and I’m having trouble getting an SDR job. I would def recommend college or a different form of sales first
