    Great video, I'm in Car Sales industry, with some years of cold calling experience years back in tech/cloud based products. I'm enjoying what I do but there is no way I can make 100k or more as a sales executive (at least at this main dealer where I am :D), I'm looking for a next step. Saas, properties? Would't SaaS paid off earlier?

    Great vid, Trent. If your company has no upward mobility opportunities, is it feasible to go from SDR to AE at another company or do companies require prior AE experience when hitting AEs?

    • @dot8531
      @dot8531 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      A lot require prior AE experience due to closing, I finally just got promoted to AE and that was something they harped on big. But like he said it depends from job to job. I do hybrid tech sales, so they are a little more serious about closing and bringing in revenue

    • @TrentDressel

    I'm a junior data engineer pondering a shift to tech sales. Friends and colleagues think I've got what it takes. But I'm torn. Is it wise to invest more time in data engineering for stability? Then I could explore sales roles later. My main worry is hitting 30 soon. Still, I believe the right opportunity is worth the wait. Your thoughts are welcome.

I love selling - building rapport with people, using my product knowledge to make a recommendation and help people solve their problems. But, I’m just sick of the car industry. The problem is that I feel trapped. I’ve tried a couple times to do something else and I either couldn’t get out or it was a shitty Solar startup and I keep coming back.
