Would be great to have your take on tech sales now in March 2024. Given the fact that there have been millions of layoffs in the tech industry. Most redundancies in tech coming in engineering and sales. As most companies are trying to streamline their operations to make profit and survive. Do you think the bubble has burst for tech sales ?
Good question, I’d imagine not in a huge way. I’ve been at some tech companies with layoffs and haven’t seen a huge effect on sales engineering or technical sales teams as much as I have on actual developers where there has been a lot of layoffs. My theory is that you’d likely want to maintain a strong contingent of technical sales related roles to keep driving business forward and gain new contracts. So I’d think there is still a strong demand for technical sales. Like someone said to me once, cutting staff doesn’t necessarily mean lack of growth, but could indicate restructuring of a businesses goals. However I have yet to see tech jump back as strong as it was a few years ago, hoping it will change in the next year or two 🤞
Great video. It’s very helpful to hear about your journey to finding that job that made you millions. Thanks for sharing the information on the relevant course work that helped you become an expert.
This video was amazing. Got my course careers certificate but also just signed up for Kayla Burk’s course just to be extra prepared for interviewing and the actual job 💯
I paid for course careers a 500 dollar course. This is why i need the job. 1) You can work anywhere in the world - I'll be living in Thailand this September. 2) Sales skills - need those 3) The pay - I need the capital so i can be a video game dev 4) The time - Tech Sales reps work around 4-6 hours a day What's your thoughts on this list.
Hey Carlos, It depends on the position. In tech sales, some roles require a set schedule, especially if you’re managing client meetings and calls. However, many positions offer flexibility, allowing you to create your own schedule as long as you meet your sales targets and responsibilities.
Hi, I’m considering making a career pivot or even going back to grad school. Why did you not like being a software engineer? Those folks usually get paid well over six figures. Was is boring? Unfulfilling?
@@ElevateToTheUnknown okay good to know. I am trying to decide if it’s work investing more time studying to learn coding. Your videos are really helpful. I currently work in custom home sales.
It’s quite hard to do. This is because tech sales requires you to understand the local market dynamics. You also need to make a lot of local calls to prospects. Let’s also not forget physical demos/ networking events with potential clients etc. It is really hard/ almost impossible to have a tech sales role and live in another country.
Hey I'm a Management Information Systems student in university, I'm into a little bit software but mostly of business side. I want to create my own business before my graduation but with my university I want to develop my skills about sales etc.. (generally in business side of my degree) what do you suggest for me? Which path should I follow. Thanks a lot for your answer :)
Follow the path that's most important to you. You have to choose your own path but creating a business and learning sales go hand and hand. You have to learn how to sell.
Hello sir, I'm a big fan all the from Africa I want to ask if I complete my cs and go for MBA can I still in the route as a mis student, and another question is if cs and another question, is technology management same as cs
Hi antoine im from Egypt and worked with American company for 3 years as a cold caller buying real-estate or selling morages and im thinking seriously about shifting to tech sales but i have no idea if there are many avail remote opportunities for people based in arab world to work with companies in the US, UK, Canada. What do think
All advice welcome: I am considering a switch to tech sales but I'm torn because I'm a few years away from gaining enough experience as a data engineer to return anytime without starting from scratch if sales doesn't work out. On the flip side, there are lucrative opportunities in sales now, and some friends are already thriving. I'm contemplating seizing the moment, but it feels like a hasty decision without a career safety net. Any thoughts?
@@ElevateToTheUnknown I am currently taking the course career tech sales training while learning to code. Wish me luck 🙏 {supporting your TH-cam channel} 👍
Same here! Using Flutter, Visual Studio, and Android Studio. Not in course careers, but setting appointments with Glencoco. I think I should take a course though @@zach.intech
Great video! I’m having a hard time deciding if I should break into tech through Course Careers or if I can confidently go through the sales engineer program through Leveld. I have 10+yrs of sales experience and I’m confident I have a lot of transferable skills. What would you suggest?

Hi Antonie! I wondering, How is it like to be in Tech sales? Do you have to work every day? or you can make your own schedule?
Hey Carlos, It depends on the position. In tech sales, some roles require a set schedule, especially if you’re managing client meetings and calls. However, many positions offer flexibility, allowing you to create your own schedule as long as you meet your sales targets and responsibilities.
@@ElevateToTheUnknown Thanks for the quick response!! By the way, is there any other costs involved besides buying the course?
Hi, I’m considering making a career pivot or even going back to grad school. Why did you not like being a software engineer? Those folks usually get paid well over six figures. Was is boring? Unfulfilling?
I loved it but I wanted to move up for more responsibility and leadership.

Great video .I am from India and interested in pursuing a career in tech sales. Can I secure a remote job while staying in India?
More than likely not.
So I am thinking to enroll in course career so then is it possible?

How can we get data of the prospects if we want to make cold calls?
Thanks
Tools like sales navigator and others. Look it up
Will i have a difficult time getting a job in tech sales without a bachelors
Not if you start at entry level and are sharp in your interview prep
Do you show how to meet quota or can recommend a course on how to meet quota

@@TimeTrendDG I'm so confused of by your question. However, you don't need MIS if you get a CS degree and an MBA.
I'm 52, and I'm curious at this age. Can I break into tech sales ?
If you have persistence and a will to succeed then absolutely.

Hi, if you've worked for an American company already then you should be able to do the same again.

How did you become a software dev?
Went to school for MIS degree with a comp sci minor.

@@zach.intechI want to do the same thing have you been able to land a job from the tech sales course careers?
