Tech Sales Recruitment Guide
The tech sales recruitment process can be confusing, especially if you’re trying to break into tech sales with no experience.
Like what’s with all the acronyms? SDR? CRM? OTE?
Wouldn’t it be nice if you had someone to explain all this?
My name’s Cole and I was in tech sales for six years.
Now I run Break Into Tech Sales and help other people get into tech sales.
This tech sales recruitment guide is for you if you’re trying to get a job in tech sales and you’d like some help searching for tech sales jobs, sending applications, talking to recruiters, interviewing, etc.
To be honest, this guide is a few years old.
Our most up-to-date content is included in our course.
The course is $20 (if you ask me, that’s a good investment to start a career in which you can earn over $100,000 in your first year).
Also totally cool if you’d rather stick to the free content for now.
The tech sales recruitment guide is 100% free and 100% online.
All the material is text-based.
