To succeed in sales, you need to push your agenda at all costs. 3. You need to have a degree in Computer Science or IT, or a background in sales 4. You need to know how to code 5.

The 10 biggest sales career traps (please don't fall for these): 1. Lateral switch from SDR role to SDR role every 6 months 2. Joining a startup without product market fit for "equity" 3. Being the top performer on the team but missing quota 4. Promotion criteria based on merit (aka playing politics) 5. Going for the highest OTE (on target earnings) possible 6. Thinking the grass is always greener somewhere else 7. Buying into sales leaders who tell you "we're a family" 8. Commuting 5 days a week to enjoy the office "perks" 9. Managers who discourage reps from getting a coach 10. Toxic culture of micromanagement and distrust This list is not exhaustive. ↳ There are so many sales career traps out there. But here's the number 1 mistake of all: ↳ Not doing your due diligence when applying for a new role. There's no excuse - ↳ nowadays the world of SaaS sales has become so transparent.

Do you want to break into an SDR/BDR role? Think about why. 99.9% of candidates we speak with struggle with this. Think about: -What keeps you going when times get tough? -What impact can a career in sales have on you? -What do you want to be doing in the next 3-5 years? -Do you have transferable skills (give me real-life examples)? It’s not: -I like talking to people -My family and friends said I have the gift of the gab -I want to help organisations improve their performance Spend 30-60 minutes answering this question. To figure out why YOU want to. It will help you stand out compared to thousands of other job hunters. #sales #salescareers #hiring #sdr #bdr P.S.

"Find us a younger, hungry, cheaper Sales Exec!" - Sales Director The CHEAPER part is a myth. In today’s tech hiring world, younger profiles can be very expensive. Why? It comes down to demand (and ageism) When Sales Execs are in their late 20s or 30s, they can get many job offers. The competition to hire them drives up salary levels. Many receive multiple job offers. And are hired quickly. Not so cheap after all. As you get older, the number of opportunities can reduce. 🔥 Ageism sucks!

Did you know that Tech Sales is one of the fastest paths to a 6-figure income? For most careers, landing a high-paying role often means spending years on degrees (at least 4 years of university) and qualifications, then trying to climb the corporate ladder and getting multiple promotions. No one is going to hire you as an accountant, engineer, or lawyer if you don’t have the right qualifications, even if you actually have the knowledge and ability to do the job. But in Tech Sales, you can bypass that lengthy process and show you’ve got what it takes through you job hunt approach. Wild, isn’t it? Here's the thing: the process of landing a Sales Development Representative (SDR) role is strikingly similar to the role itself. As an SDR, your job is to generate opportunities by identifying decision-makers, grabbing their attention, and convincing them to invest time in learning more about how they can benefit from what you have to offer. You can literally take the same approach to job hunting. If you're curious to learn more about how to do that, DM me the word HUNT.
