LinkedIn typically has the most consistent. Filter for jobs that fit your criteria and then set an alert for open jobs.

I mean... it got you to comment

@killswitchhz9066 yes, get solid internship experience

@@techsales-higherlevels👍currently a sophomore at community college on scholarship for free then will transfer to 4 year school

Congrats and good luck!

I'd still be open minded to the SDR position as well to get your foot in the door

Thanks!

That range is few and far between for an SDR but they are out there.

It's possible, but they are harder to come by. Total comp of 100+ is definitely possible. The long term view you have to have (in my opinion) is that this is a 5 year play. When you're looking at a potential step down or same salary in year one, it pales in comparison to making $150k-$250k in years 3-4+. As mentioned in the video, my first year was 75k but quickly exceeded 100k. Year 3 and beyond have been amazing and something that would have taken 15-20 years in my electrical engineering path (if ever). What do you do now?

I work in a refinery as a technician. With no earning potential like that of tech sales! No work life balance.....always drained at the end of the day/ week.

​@@techsales-higherlevels I've went from $25 he to $52 an hour in 5 years however I'm very near the top out for my craft

It’s FAR more realistic to find a SDR job that can pay $100k with hitting targets vs an $80k base. So the question then becomes: do you have confidence you can succeed in the role? If so then a $55k+ base shouldn’t scare you 😉

What are you studying?

If your total compensation is $60k a year I would look for another company yes, there are lots of tech companies hiring SMB AEs that have relevant experience for much higher than $60k. What do you sell currently?

Happy to help, but can you ask more specific questions? Currently too vague for me to give any meaningful advice outside of what is in our videos

The layoffs have been looming and the end of year usually brings a slowdown in job openings because of holidays, etc.... That being said, how many places have you applied to? How are you applying? Still seeing tons of success at the best companies in the world when you attack the application process the right way

Keep trying.

My issue is interviewing skills

@@techsales-higherlevels I apply directly in their website, not through LinkedIn. I was told by a recruiter from Gartner she is scheduling the final interview only to be ghosted with not even a follow up email response. It is exhausting, specially since I will technically make about the same money if not less than what I’m currently making. I just want to get into tech sales for career progression I would love to be an AE.

@@techsales-higherlevels Im applying directly through their website, not through LinkedIn. Got ghosted for my final interview at Gartner after being told they were scheduling me for the final round. It is exhausting. I returned to college to get my bachelors degree and managed both full time job and being a full time student, graduated with a 3.94 gpa while exceeding 600K in sales for this year, well over my quota yet cant get a chance to make my case.

What specifically are you looking for?

Sorry, a little too busy at the moment

What are you unable to hear here? Genuinely curious what is off

@cozywanderer yes, I would still do it today if I was an engineer. There have certainly been a lot of layoffs in the news but the reality is we've had more people break in this year than the last 2 years combined. Additionally, the hype of the career has tapered off while hiring remains only ~15% lower than its peak for SDRs, so it's getting much easier to stand out. Additionally when the economy continues to improve hopefully within the next 12 months, it's not the people that then decide to do sales that reap the rewards, it's the people already in seat that broke in and have built a solid brand and skillset that then capitalize on better market conditions. Making the move will never feel comfortable, even if the market went back to insane conditions from 2-3 years ago. What do you do currently?

@techsales-higherlevels good to know! Thank you! I'm 3.5 years into software engineering with more of a finance background prior to that. Looking to stay in the tech space but have had interest in the sales side of things for a couple years but I have zero sales experience. I mostly just haven't been sure that I could be good at this but I want to be, so currently binging your videos and looking into your program. Great content!

Good to know! Thank you! I’m a software engineer about 3.5 years into the job and a history of about 8-9 years in finance roles. Been looking to stay in the tech space but wanted to kinda step away from the super technical side of things and tech sales has been of interest for some time but I have no sales experience. Sales has always been intimidating to me but I’m really getting the itch to at least give it a try, so binging your videos and looking into your course! Really enjoying the content so far.

@@cozywanderer Thanks, let me know if you have any questions as you consider it. And ya unless you really enjoy the highly technical stuff and want to become a subject matter expert long term, making a move to a customer facing role that leverages your technical background gives you longer term earning potential and stability in my opinion. Sales is definitely more up and down, high highs and low lows, but tbh I think I'd be more concerned right now career wise about being a software developer compared to a revenue professional with AI already being able to write functional code. There's naturally a larger talent pool and more people competing for non-technical roles, but if you have a technical background, you've already got a strong leg up on the competition.

What do you say?

He flat out, says in the video that he’s gonna tell you things that you would think or counterintuitive. The reason you give the pleasantry is because people are expecting the pleasantry. This used to be the zig so everybody zagged. Now that everybody’s zagging, he saying go back to zigging

Can you provide more context?

@@garethwhitehead4938 appreciate it!

@@felipeeliasmiguel8905 what about it?
