- How to get into tech sales: coursecareers....
The reason we make so much is because the completely of the deals. There are so many moving people that need buy-in approval to purchase a 100k license for an org. As a software sales rep the environment is always changing due to rapid innovation. Due to this you need to constantly be re-educating yourself on your product, the marketplace, and your customers organizations. A large part of the pay is based on performance, so there is some risk involved but overall large upside. On a really good year, it’s more than possible to make more than 400k…

Software sales incomes up and to the right 📈
I remember my days as an SDR.
Researching, Sequences, Call Calling - still good at it.
Now, as an National Enterprise Manager… what you explain is all real. A True Fact.
Love deeply helping businesses to find their needs and pains.
Great Video.
Thank you and useful insight
Great Video especially for people who have already gone to college whether they actually graduated or not but have lived a little and feel like maybe they missed their boat or picked the wrong career....good to know you aren't actually stuck and how much of life is mental.... it's energy that makes money....the right type of energy.
Hit 120% of my quarterly quota! 🙌🏾😁💕💅🏾🤩🔥 Glory to God for the miracle!
Trying to stratetize for this next quarter... 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Congrats dude, keep killing it.
I think I know who are actually. Rumor has it, you're the best SDR in the company. Anybody who is looking to buy no-code software for their business, contact Christopher.
Great week in software sales interviews! Workhuman, Oracle, Salsify, Activtrak, Atlassian and a stealth mode startup!💯🙏🏼🙏🏼
Big time names - good luck boss
You gotta love this dude’s attitude!
I get a lot of SATIFICATION watching your videos bro .Keep it up
:)
Three Key Takeaways: 1) If you can be scrappy, be comfortable with working HARD, and learning from failure, then you can be very successful and make good money too, 2) This career path gives you autonomy because if you can hit your quarterly quota right away, then the next two months of the quarter you "HYPOTHETICALLY" have no BIG work to get done (the best SDRs/BDRs never stop though), 3) If you're only in this for the money, you'll burn out fast. Your thinking has to be larger than just making a lot of money. "Work to reach your potential, not your quota."
Just started as an SDR and this is great content and can't wait to go through all your content 🙌 this is a goldmine of knowledge
let's goooooo
How was it?
This job is toxic hot garbage
Awesome!! Thank you for sharing your numbers in an organized way! It gives a great idea of that is possible with Software Sales!!
Let’s get itttt
Hard work pays off!
Always does
Trent is amazing at breaking down the tech sales job and career paths. Thanks for your inspiration and I'll be here to see your channel grow to 100,000! Keep on sharing your wealth of knowledge and inspiring the rest of us to go out there and do it!
I think the videos about how to create a work flow, how to ask better questions, how to go the extra mile as an SDR would be better topics! Thank you
We cover all topics related to software sales so pay is definitely something people are interested in, will certainly talk about these topics in upcoming videos
Great info! Thanks for this!!
Nice work
Haha u are a God send brother.. thanks
It took me around 5 weeks after my boot camp to land a 60k remote SDR job.
What bootcamp?
Precious video, thanks brother!
You’d think my ten years experience in digital marketing (usually using the very software we sell) would help me get in the door as an SDR but I’ve never gotten a callback.
very useful video. thank you.i'm going to search your video about how to find this kind of job. seems tech sales are less vacancies in the UK.
The opportunities are out there
You lost me at work first live second, it just doesn’t seem like a good strategy long term. Especially when you look at your mental health and overall health.
Kinda hard to live in the states and not work, unfortunately
Work first and live second is a mind setting for sombody in their 20's. The fact is that we're all working living in the now and that early retirement is a dream for most people. I should make videos, I'd be good at it
I'll be honest with you internet stranger. Sacrifices must be made to live the life of your dreams. What is 5 years of hard work for a lifetime of freedom. You can stack the money then just retire for life.
Work first, live second should never be the case. You die, you’re replaceable. Live first, work second
I agree. Life is more important than just work. Travel, meet new people, build new skills, read books. Don't ever get pigeonholed In anything
Great Video!
Can these Jobs be remote, I would hate to travel to Seattle or San Francisco to work in sales
yes they can be remote
Hello, do you think it’s necessary to have a degree in order to get a job in tech sales? How do think this career will hold up during the recession/depression? Also, is this a career path that you can do remote? Thanks
Don’t need degree, software is resilient during downturn
One question - I'm 32, I've been working as an independent middleman/sales agent mostly in the textile industry. Now I'm working to get my first clients in the software industry. How much technical knowledge do you need in your software sales? Thanks! Cheers!
so do you need to go to a bootcamp or college to be in tech sales or to start applying for jobs?
You can start applying but coursecareers will help you get it faster
How come you like to say enterprise account executive is the top position? From my research it would be VP of sales. Then CRO if you choose to purse it
I believe he’s referring to the highest “individual contributor” or IC position, as opposed to management positions. Not everyone would like to manage people
This video covered individual contribution path not leadership
@@shanesmith5551 ^^^ exactly right thanks for stepping in
@@TrentDressel I see that makes sense
@@richardl5401 you suggested a great topic idea - will certainly make a video talking about leadership path
What would be the average base salary at tech companies ?
Trent whats ur thoughts on video outreach like vidyard
I like the concept of video in outreach but have never used it - would you recommend checking out?
Motivator!
Here the Plan learn how to Master Software Tech Sales and Stock Day trading at the same time with TOS and Bam you just might become RICH
What's TOS?
Do u think being a sdr at the age of 30 is too late?
never too late
I'm 33 and I just started as an SDR this year.
@@christopherconseille1921 How has your experience been in the last 9 months as an SDR
@@jzadams5818 it's been literally everything 🙌🏾🔥. I had no idea what a SDR actually did until I was accidentally interviewing. I thought it was just telemarketing. This is when I found Trent's channel and subscribed.
Fortunately, I've been blessed to work at two employers with strong sales development orgs. My first SDR job had phenomenal cold-calling training and was great for people with no experience. Pretty flexible WLB, pay was decent, yet a little micro managey (not like other orgs where it's worse), and the software was good but kinda hard to explain to people, but best-in-class tech stack and sales intel tools.
My current employer is amazing. We're given a lot of autonomy over our work flows and processes. The software I'd easy to sell and our vertical is good so a recession won't hurt us too much but you still never know. Leadership is comprised of top-tier salesmen themselves and they're very strategic when coaching us. No fake hype! And the guys are pretty competitive in a good way but also very collaborative. Pays a lot more than my last job.
But unlike my first SDR job which was pretty diverse and progressive, my current employer is fairly conservative compared to other tech companies, very little diversity, and very few women, POC, or LGBTQ+ persons.
But I will say this, even though I'm a Black gender and sexually queer person, I'm still treated well and helped and included. I think this company focuses more on results and performance than demographics.
But like I said, very fun career! We're all being trained to become account executives and although we work hard, we still have a lot of fun.
Hope that helps 💕.
@@christopherconseille1921 hello Christopher, thank you for your input. I live is Massachusetts. Can you please guide me to the best employers, or any you recommend for a entry level SDR? I am shifting careers at 30 years old away from my medical career.
