I recently started watching your content a couple of months ago, and it has already made a significant impact on my life. As a full-time computer science student, I haven't had the opportunity to interview for sales positions yet. However, the wealth of knowledge I've gained from your videos about interviewing has been invaluable. Thanks to your advice, I felt more prepared and confident than ever when applying for part-time jobs. I attended two interviews and absolutely crushed them! The hiring managers informed me that I outperformed numerous other candidates. Consequently, I received job offers from both companies back to back. Your guidance has been instrumental in helping me succeed in my overall career development, which I'm hoping will lead into a career in tech sales. I cannot thank you guys enough for sharing your expertise and providing such valuable insights. Your content has truly made a difference in my life, and I look forward to continuing to learn from you as I progress in my career journey from here.

I am guilty of some of these mistakes

Dude awesome video. Honestly being humble presenting yourself is something that I think is so important. I think over doing just screams over-eagerness and inexperience which gives a bad impression.

Where can I go for a résumé help? I can’t afford your program, but I’ve been trying to break into Tech sales for a year and I feel like I’m on a rocking horse. I’m doing all the things but I feel like I’m getting nowhere. Ive done all the other courses, spent $$$$ on other resume redo’s, participate in zooms & webinars all week long.

We have tons of free content on resumes. Are you reaching out directly to hiring managers and SDRs at the company you apply to?

[@lisamiller8740]

@@techsales-higherlevels yes, asking for informational interviews, recommendations, other people to speak with, etc. I can’t do it all the time unfortunately cause I’m currently on site working 10-11 hrs a day. I will look at your resume resources.

There are some contradictory statements from some of your other videos. Like reaching out with a strategy doc of tactical things you would to show you would be a good candidate etc.. also you said in a previous video you shouldn’t rush through your story in this one you said no more than 90sec. Just looking for some clarification

[@techsales-higherlevels]

@artlifemoney648 which video are you referencing? I think the point is that you don't have to include every detail about your background and rush through it in 90 seconds. Highlight the most important parts of your background in a 90 second response in a way that if the interviewer is interested and wants to learn more they will ask
