My First year in Tech Sales....Did it live up to the Hype???

🎉🎉🎉🎉 congratulations

Damn that’s a lot of books you read most of em?

I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. Getting into a new career is hard so to share your journey has been dope. Your first year is usually the acclimation period. 2024 will be a big year for you, have fun with it.

Cousin it would be dope to talk about the different industry in the tech industry/ community. Also maybe you can talk about up incoming tech companies, and what tech is looking like for the next 10 yrs (AI for example). Just a thought. Love you super proud of you kid keep going hard 💪🏾💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.

Did you have any sales experience before you got into tech sales

i'm literally a law student (about to go back after a semester hiatus) but for some reason i was immediately tuned in when i saw ur thumbnail lol (can u tell i'm looking for any reason to not go back lmaoo). but ur video quality is so great i hope u have a great 2024 thank u for sharing!! 🤍 edit as i'm watching - really impressive to advance that much in in a year, you will keep doing amazing! i would definitely keep watching corporate/career lifestyle content/updates

I can vividly remember asking you advice about tech sales a couple months ago on your "Conversation w/ a Tech Sales Expert" video. I just graduated high school and was in between whether or not I was to go blindly into higher ed (the faintest idea of what I wanted to major in at institutions that I was not able to afford) like all other people my age upon graduating OR following my gut to pursue this career path. A month ago, I signed my offer letter and will be starting my SDR position in the new year. I want to thank you so much for all the work you do in crafting these videos and tell you that they do not go in vain. Keep inspiring others like me!! If you could do it, I could do it, others can too! Being able to be within a fast-paced industry like tech with a salary that is continuously on the comeup at the age of 19 is a blessing that I will never take for granted. Please share your LinkedIn, I'd love to connect--I also want to talk with you more about your experience at an outsourced SDR company, cause same.🤣 Regards, ❤

Been thinking about tech for a while. My heart is after the Sales Engineer role as an introvert. Financially the bootcamp is a stretch right now so I'm thinking I may need to start at SDR and work my way up but baby... sdr is giving- me crying in the corner rocking like an abused child when it's time to cold call 😩😔😅😅🤭🤭🤭 I'm not aggressive and I'm not a closer. I'm guessing it will get me out my comfort zone. Your honest videos definitely help me mentally prepare for "the corner" tho 😂😂😂 thank you for the info ❤❤❤❤❤

love the update video! i work in tech marketing as a writer but was laid off a few months ago. thinking about switching into tech sales. it's been nice hearing your perspective!

Great video love the honesty

Thanks for being genuine! I’m going to start CourseCareers soon. I’m currently a flight attendant and I barely made 30k this year. I know everyone’s experience is different - but with the possibility of having to move companies to find the right fit, do you think it would still be possible to break 60k in the first year? 😅

Do you have any advice for someone who is about to finish a course for tech sales? I am finishing up Course Careers soon. 🙂

Great video. What do you think is a realistic quota expectation in 6 mths and 1 yr ?

Haha my baby looked up my channel name and found you I love your name! I get it lol what is sdr?

Does have a four year degree help with Landing interviews? And higher base?

What hours did you work?

Keep it 100…dont sugarcoat it and mislead everyone like every other tech sales “gurus” are doing. You didnt make shit as a SDR. Outsourced SDR agencies are shitty place to work at and by reading between the lines, your second job was no better, and i highly doubt you came anywhere near the quota. “Was it lucrative..yes and no”? Cmon now. Hope you succeed and get out of being a SDR asap but let’s tell it like how it is, SDR is a position that’s becoming obsolete and it’s an absolutely shitty job

Can you realistically break into tech sales without a degree? Please I'm really out here looking for answers and can't find anything

You landed 3 different roles in this current job market ?! lol props

thanks for sharing yr success and challenges. It gives us a more realistic picture of tech sales.

I was a medical device sales rep straight out of college I had the work ethic and wanted to be the best but I received no training and was put in a difficult situation to run a certain part of the department that no one knew how to run, so I had a lot of pressure on me and I think I did ok, this had made me hate sales but I’d like to try again , I’m tired of these low end jobs . do they train , ? Is this online ? Or in person job ?

Awesome video. Does course careers offer financial aid?

I worked at ZoomInfo for a little over a year as an SDR. $50k with $75-100 per completed meeting and heaters: $500 or more on the enterprise team. This is after getting promoted out of inbound which was terrible. You only got $10 per completed meeting. That is horrible for how hard you work. Some don't make it. Now I'm going to another company where I will be making more money. I'm praying to God that next year I will be at 6 figures.

Finally, somone from course careers who spent more than a month working in tech sales lol! I was starting to think it was just a scam and that people were using the program to promote their own businesses and for the affiliate money.

Hi,
Can you help me get an SDR role? I would love to connect on LinkedIn.

I’m glad you started as an outsourced SDR. I’m in the same boat top 2 SDR for my team and our client is one of the largest fintechs. I’m hoping I can land a better job to take care of my family once I get more experience.

where you been? keep it up!! I know it can be hard but dont give up!!

i cant do tech sales....i'm a Linux Admin. I just want to be left alone. Let me do me. Remote.

Sounds so good

Thanks for the insight beautiful ❤🎉

Outsourced adr company, and you count that as tech sales.

This is trash, thumbs down and reported

Really appreciate you sharing your experience.

I’ve been a software engineer for 20+ years and want to make a career change to something more social. I’m researching tech sales as one way to go. Just trying to figure out what it will take to get a job in tech sales, if I can leverage my background, how to get in and do well in interviews, etc…

Your vid is a starting point, so appreciate it.

Tech sales is 1000% not worth it.
You will find yourself bouncing from job to job either bc you got laid off due to not meeting unobtainable company quota OR bc you got hired on with a start up that stopped being funded.
Unless you like the stress of being micromanaged and your job being threaten every Q with what is called a “PIP” then I suggest you take your skills to a company that values your skillset.

How long did it take for you to find work as an SDR

Do you have tips on how to make a resume coming from warehouse work ima about to do course careers

Do you know if tech sales can be done part time or have you seen any part time positions?

20 grand is a progress girl! Keep up good work!

What were your secrets and steps to get into tech sales without having prior experience?

Thanks in advance!

Did you say how long you were at the jobs? I’m worried about switching too soon & then do I put that experience on my resume still & just explain they weren’t a good fit?

Took too long to get to the point 😢

omg start up in any industry can be a HOT mess ! everyone wants to have a business ,lol

Really grat transparency here! I'm watching this July 2024 and would love to hear any updates. Thx!

Just dodged a bullet today. Very, very, very new startup. I was totally right, BDR means BDR/AE mix. Can't do that in a brand new industry, with a four person company. A shady sister company connected to it, too.
Great vid!

Girl, did we work for same damn startup based in LA?? 😂😂

DEF made me sign that NDA too abd it's so hard to speak on it in interviews so I can fully relate and know the feeling 😅

Thank you for this video. It was so informative. What would you say are the top personal qualities or skills needed to succeed in this career path?

I'm currently a quantity surveyor in south africa and thinking about changing fields to tech sales

Im dying to know your filming set up. The quality and sound is amazing
