    🔥🔥🔥 so much value in this video that could be sold. The logic behind the sales plan showcases the willingness to take the initiative which is huge in this role.
    I just landed a job with a very successful start up company this week starting at 90k OTE. Keep doing your thing my guy!

    i think if you take this approach of constantly contacting people, they gonna think ur a spammer, annoying and maybe even come across as desperate and lack of confidence

    • @MattMacnamara
      @MattMacnamara  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      how much contacting people directly show a lack of confidence? this is how you land sales roles...heck everyone should be doing this to get the job they want. The alternative is applying online which is a black hole.

    Matt I literally just had my first ever tech sales interview and pitched + closed the HR lady. She was baffled and didn’t expect this. I really appreciate you man, a person with little to no sales experience implemented some game changing advice and got amazing results. Thank you so much Matt, definitely implementing more of your strategies.

    • @JoeEskimo201

      What were the interview rounds like?

      @THEICONZA 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@bundubashing
      1st round was a brief chat with the recruiter about my background and why I was looking to get into tech sales at this stage of my career.
      2nd round was with my team manager which was similar to the first but more in depth. They wanted to know more about me as a person. What I thought my strengths and weaknesses were.
      3rd round was the most difficult, I had to create a presentation on 3 potential companies that I had identified as ICPs and why. Then draft 2 emails I would send to 2 different personas and explain why I would structure them that way. I also had to choose 3 common objectives that we face as SDRs and how I would overcome them. Then the last past of the challenge was a cold call role play.
      The 4th and final interview was with the head of sales for my region. I felt that if I got through the challenge this stage was more about the company understanding who their newest employee was going to be basically.
      The process overall was intense but I was committed to applying myself to make a good impression.
      Hope this answers your question.
