Tech Industry Overview - Tech Sales U [Section 1 - Lesson 2]

Lesson Summary:
Sales roles are diverse and cover many industries, including hardware, software, financial services, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and solar, among others. Tech software sales are the focus of this course due to their high pay, large deal sizes, and high-profit margins. Business-to-consumer (B2C) sales tend to be more transactional and high-pressure, while business-to-business (B2B) sales are more consultative and involve multiple stakeholders. Tech companies come in different sizes, with startups offering faster career growth, while big tech companies provide greater stability. The distinction between startups and larger companies is private versus public, with public companies offering more liquidity for their stock options. Joining an early-stage startup can be highly rewarding but carries significant risks.
