Hi Patrick, big fan of yours. Actually, I am 3 years experienced B2C sales professional in ed-tech & BFSI and want to switch my career into tech sales like B2B SaaS, so I need some resume-building tips, any resources that you can suggest??

[@brothersvanhees]

Also, being able to sell yourself, regardless of having any relevant experience or not, is perhaps the best demonstration of you having what it takes to be a great salesperson.

[@patrickdang]

that's a great point

[@brothersvanhees]

Also, don't undervalue transferrable skills you've gained from a different field. Especially if you're getting into sales as a career change rather than entry-level. Most job roles help you build skills useful to sales in one way or the other.

Watched your videos on Tuesday morning.. went for a sales job intervirw Tuesday afternoon. Followed up the day after.. got the job. Patrick is a saint. Now I’m going to turn my life around and be dangerous.

Just started applying some of my applications didn’t make it past the review stage but I’m not giving up. Need to fix up my resume probably

[@samalldredge2038]

I’ve read that there’s a different applying method in tech sales. For example instead of just submitting an application you would do the research to find the managers information and reach out to them as you would a prospect

[@Frederick0220]

Yup. It’s critically important in just sales but any role. Network with the hiring managers and people high up in that function

[@SDRCultureDotCom]

What helped me nail my first sales development job was role playing with my interviewer (SDR Manager) on how I would open a call with a prospect.

[@mayasherif2212]

Good luck, hopefully you’ll find a good sales job!! I just wanted to ask what type of degree do I need for this job? Does it have to be a computer science degree or can I work with a business administration degree?

[@patrickdang]

good luck!

[@patrickdang]

It can be any degree. I had a business admin degree but my peers had mathematics, English, philosophy, etc. doesn't matter too much on what degree you have because schools generally don't each sales so you have to learn from the ground up

[@Jc-xp8xp]

I'm selected by an online E-commerce venture within their online sales segment. I found this Sales legacy training part useful as well to gain an in-depth idea about sales before starting. Waiting for more tutorials from you so that I can gain more knowledge about online sales platform.

[@kristineramirez3826]

these tips were right on time for my job search right now. your content inspires me to push harder!

[@planetalkaboutcyber]

Companies are looking for people that can get a meeting and close deals. It’s does not matter about anything else. Either you have the ability to get meetings and close or you don’t. If you have no experience look for a company that is willing to give you an inside sales job BDR. It’s a 2 year track at least. No degree is required. Interviewing is not the way you are going a high paying sales job. You will know the people that are hiring. He does give good advise on mass hiring for entry level to start.

What camera do you use for your videos? Great quality

[@GlenGarryAcademy]

Don't forget that there's other sales careers beside the highly difficult and sporadic tech sales (look how frequently thousands are let go from these companies every time the wind blows the wrong way!)... Home improvement sales is far more steady and amazing for those who love design and homestyle - and pays bank too! $200k/yr is average where I’m at in SEA. 👍 Newbies do $150k/yr average their first year and quickly climb to over $200K+ their second year... Plus a chill schedule because you don't punch a time card. You're paid for results, not reporting to a lame manager who wants to know why you're 3 min late getting to your cubicle...🤦‍♂

[@ChantaBrite]

What do you think of tech sales bootcamps? Helpful or an unnecessary expense?

[@nelsonvazquez8104]

So for I want to do a remote customer service sales job because i did work at one job in person a store 🏬 job for three years and I excelled when it came to the sales and advertisement section. I was number one in promoting my job membership program, my job voucher system, point based reward system, and promo codes. I also did really well when it came to promoting a company partnerships product like me to we, red nose, vaccinations and vitamin angels . But will this work for remote job I hope so

[@AlecBowers]

All of your interview videos helped me land an A/E internship but I was not offered the job after it was completed... I am also having trouble figuring out where to go next now that I am recently graduated and job searching. Any recommendations for me as a recent graduate majored in management with B2B sales experience from my recent internship as an A/E for Schneider Electric?

[@SDRCultureDotCom]

Perhaps until you land a w2 employee SDR or AE position, consider getting SDR/appointment setter) or Closer (account executive) 1099/contractor positions with Mike Mark "coaching sales".

Hey Patrick, Love your video. Just a humble request from my side, after cold emailing, cold calling, I get people say yes for a meeting, but sometimes they get busy or something like that so don't show up. How can I followup with someone like that without sounding like a despo or something like that? A video on that would be great. Thank you again.

I'd say give it a shot and try to get interviews. Entry level sales roles don't require you to have a specific degree. As long as you have some degree that's enough to get your foot in the door. You don't need to be a "techie" to get a tech sales job

Totally possible, you just gotta find companies that are looking for experience/degree salespeople and most likely they'll train you from the ground up. Best of luck.
