I appreciate you💯💯

Hey Tom, This is the first time I’m hearing this I remember seeing smartcircle, but I was so young at the time I just thought it was independent sales for AT&T. I talk about it as door to door sales, which is a form of sales, even though it’s different in interviews I speak to the communication and conversation etiquette, grit, quick rapport building, etc that comes with door to door sales.

I appreciate the response! As someone currently trying to make the transition from Smart Circle to tech sales I appreciate the insights!

@tomsalois7617 no problem! You got this💯

For sure! Appreciate you for checking it out💯

tbh I’m not sure how else you would expect to do it? If you don’t have a sewing machine, take it to a tailor and they will fix the jacket for you

You spitting some real stuff🚀🚀🚀

I feel you on that. The cuffs were too stretched tho

Glad it helped💯

Hey Amber, it’s relative. It’s still possible. But a lot of people have all these stipulations (fully remote, 6 figures, etc) for their first role instead of getting into a space that they have experience in and then after they have tech sales experience they can go after the better ones.

Yes it can. I’m sure there are software tools you use everyday in money management. Those are tech companies you could go to with your experience, I’m sure they could use someone who knows the space already.

Thank you!

💯💯

No I don’t but with that many years of experience it shouldn’t take long with a LinkedIn search

Is cash still money?

I have a video talking about LinkedIn, but not how to set it up

That’s why I put it out there! Hopefully you did well. Best to you🚀

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

For the last few months ive been only going live on Mondays (just click ‘Lives’, but I’m gonna start back posting soon. But right I only consult with people who are in CourseCareers.

Yes you will have a base and commission. Plus most will have accelerators as well that you can hit and get more.

That was the goal! Hope you did well. Best to you🚀

Yoo that’s awesome! Congrats, you got it. Glad it can help!

Hey Lass! Glad you got something from it. Yes you definitely could use your skills in the space. Being in retail there are certain things you’ve picked up on how to talk to people find what they need and deliver. There are probably “Retail Tech” companies that you could go with so that you can speak directly to the experience you have that they could use.

lol you flip it inside out, do both sides the same way, then flip it back

@@TechBagTrey thank you thought so just never seen alterations done before seems kinda obvious now that I think about it 😅

I feel you! I was the same way.

They do partner with companies for the tech sales side, it’s mainly to give you a good chance at getting hired once you complete it (nobody guarantees). But you will need to score high to stand out, but there are still people getting chosen before they even start applying. I still recommend CourseCareers, because you won’t even have that chance anywhere else, then there is also the amount of people you have the opportunity to network with and see who’s hiring right now etc. Also, there has been and still is too many people going through it and getting a job. I would not recommend nothing at all, because you still need to understand the language of tech sales if you want to stand out in interviews and going through a course is going to give you that.

You should go through some of my videos and a lot of your questions would be answered. Maybe start with my SDR Ultimate Q & A or my SDR Day in the life. Also you’re selling technology, most people don’t say the exact product because of the range of the types of products. It could be a type of software that businesses need, to selling Microsoft products to businesses. Open your mind to think, (anything that is a software is technology) even the job you work at now is using some sort of software to get through the day, that is technology.

@@TechBagTrey Listen man, I'm already a Coder/Programmer who codes algorithms, data sets, functions and software etc. so "Open your mind to think" doesn't apply to me and is a condescending way to respond to a commenter who's seeking answers. The very reason why I'm putting in inquiries shows that I am doing just that, thinking! If you don't have videos to answer the inquiries then that's cool. There are other channels to view other than yours. Don't assume that I'm just some random individual who's completely brainless about anything revolving around tech. I'm just looking to increase financial gains through multiple avenues.

@whathuh6965 Oh great, youre a coder. You took it in a condescending tone, anyone who knows me knows I don’t like drama of any kind, that’s not how I was saying that. I apologize if it came off that way, as I pride myself on my communication. It was said in a (think outside the box) way. The full complete thought would read “open your mind to think in the manner of anything that is a software is tech, and they have people who sell… I did also give you two videos that you could watch from my channel. The reason I answer the comments is to help because I’ve been on the other side looking for answers and not getting a reply.

Definitely not, if you have been in sales for a while. It’s not too late. It’s possible you could interview well and get in, maybe check into some insurance tech companies that could be an easier route in. If you need to get experience on the SaaS side, you could do a bootcamp like CourseCareers like I did then you can speak to specific experience to get in. Also depending on your experience you could go apply for Account Executive roles but you will get tested on your knowledge.

Hi Chrissie, You can start by going through some of the videos on my channel, maybe the ultimate SDR Q & A, and the interview video. Based on your background if you feel comfortable you could apply and try and get get in. Maybe going to Beauty SAAS companies (if there are some you know) that would give you a leg up. If you aren’t, you could take a bootcamp and get the specific tech sales info like I did through somewhere like CourseCareers. That’s what I did, and it helped fill in the gaps of my sales background specific to SAAs products. Hope that helped!

@@TechBagTrey Thank you! You're a gem <3 God bless.

@chrissieinfinity no problem! God bless

lol the company you work for will teach you about their SAAS product. If you mean know “technical things” like coding etc.. no you don’t. SDR’s and Account Executives don’t have to be technical but it could help for some products. Being good looking could help as an Account Executive as that’s where the closing happens, but you could also have a face for radio if you’re good at asking questions and solving problems for the companies.👌🏾

Glad it could help! And that’s exactly right Matt. The whole goal is to see if you are coachable, can you apply what we just talked about.

Appreciate the support bro!

Yes I do, but that depends on the tech company you end up at. If you are looking at an SDR role, you don’t have to worry about that because you only are doing calls and emails. Account Executives are closing deals on zoom.

@@TechBagTrey Oh, interesting. I’m actually use to doing Zoom calls. This is good to know. I have Sales experience. What’s the average base pay like? Yes, I know it will vary by company and by industry, but what would you say is the general? Are SDRs hunting for Leads or are they given a list of Leads to call? It looks like you’re being emailed a list, judging by your other video. Also, I need to look around your channel more, but have you done a video on what doors Tech Sales Jobs can open up?

Well some are but there is an argument to made that everything you have right now including whatever device you used to make this comment was purchased based on some type of sales & marketing. You might not like certain types but it does work and there are great spaces that are beneficial to growth and your pockets.

At this point all jobs even outside of tech & sales have the ability to listen to calls.. “ This call is recorded for quality and monitoring…” Most calls are just recorded, it’s a benefit because you can go back and improve or get info you might have missed. But in tech you manager is not just sitting around listening to your calls it’s not that micromanaged at most tech companies. They make sure they hire the right people who are going to get the work done.

Ayyye How bout them Cowboys! We made some moves, we’ll see what happens this year 😂 Appreciate you my G!

💪🏾💪🏾

Appreciate you Donye! That’s what’s up, my favorite was Konnect 2.0 in Dallas. There is not many, but it is getting to be more and more. In on the 25th there is a Black Women in STEM meetup. You can go to my friends site blacktechglobal.com to see everything event for the year.

I’ve been in a few types of sales spaces. I can tell you not all sales spaces are the same. Maybe take a look at different sales industry spaces “Day in the life” videos and compare it to the org you were in. I’m sure you will see some difference

having stability is always better long term plus dats engineering is gonna be HUGE as time goes on. a tech sales job is great but honestly I think doing data engineering and then maybe looking at sales later like you said is the best move. Hope this helps!

​@@masiinmadeit6696 Thanks. I really appreciate you taking the time to get back to me. I have been applying for sales roles and am hoping to get a few interviews so I can make up my mind if I am presented with any offers.

@@masiinmadeit6696 Thank you for getting back to me. I've taken action by applying for Sales Executive roles and networking for referrals. Additionally, I've purchased and read some recommended sales books from RUclips content creators to prepare for interviews. Over the last few weeks, I've been applying for sales positions and am hoping to secure a few interviews. This will help me decide if I want to pursue a career in sales, which I'm now leaning towards. Fingers crossed.

Normally people can see more in us that we see in ourselves. I’m sure you definitely do, but you could always wait. You could continue at your current tech job become a data engineer and have a year or two experience there. Then if you still feel you want to tech sales you could start shadowing some of your teammates in your spare time while also having conversations with the sales managers there. If you want to make the jump then you should be in a good spot, but I wouldn’t worry too much about age. If you absolutely don’t care for data engineering already then you could go ahead and pursue, no need in delaying the inevitable.🚀

​@@TechBagTrey Thank you for your thoughtful response. It seems like somewhat delaying the inevitable, as I envision transitioning away from a technical role to management or another business aspect within tech eventually. Staying in my current role offers the advantage of returning to engineering with more experience if I decide to leave sales. I'll continue to weigh up my options but from the perspectives and experiences of my friends in sales, sales seems like a lucrative path for me and the only opportunity available to me with truly unlimited upside. Thanks again

@sdotlondonkid For sure that’s what it’s about! Weigh the options then take your path. You got this🚀

That seems to be the direction we’re heading you are ahead of the game.

Agree at heart. 🥕

Definitely yes. 🥓

Yes, video editing is definitely low. ☘️

It for sure can be! You definitely need a good team and systems in place!

Yea you could definitely use some of the skills. It’s B2B but ultimately you are talking to people just like you do as a barber. You could always use the tech money to then buy a barbershop down the line.
