I had originally applied to 400 Tech sales jobs by just smacking the apply button on Linkedin and got only 1 job interview. Now i have made a list of 600 SDR Managers, hiring managers, Director and VP of sales and have built out a sales cadence to email, Linkedin message, and cold call 600 people ( about 2500 outbound activities) just to get some interviews.

I've really been thinking about making the change as I already work a similar position right now in the car business. I have worked 8 years in business development at a car dealership and thinking about making the change into tech sales. I appreciate content like yours getting it real with the information. Really thought about signing up for the CourseCareers course on tech sales that everyone has been raving about. The only thing that has deterred me a bit has been the massive lay offs I've heard about from last year. I'm aware I have to be positive, but I feel like there's a lot I have to prepare for. What is your opinion or wisdom on this thought process? Changing jobs after that long I've noticed feels almost like Stockholm syndrome.. you want the change but it is also a big nerve racking.

This isn't just applied to sales, it's for any job. I'd wager to say it's far more effective in other career fields as they aren't expecting you to act like an SDR at all so it's worth practicing. The question is, when will AI become the new hard blocker for attempts to reach people on all mediums? Been watching the AI SDR calls go off and while it's goofy right now, I see that being a real issue where the cold calls will not work anymore along with cold emails within a decade. Thoughts?

First time I’ve watched your vids in a long while. I stopped because you were talking too fast. But I see you have fixed that. Thanks I’ll start watching you again 😊

If I’m doing a cold email for an entry level position, should I attach a cover letter and resume or just let the person know I’ve applied to the role? I’m applying to some internships and entry level positions.

Not sure if you consider sales engineers as tech sales, but I was lucky to land a role a top data company for sales eng last week. Had a few interviews with other companies for the same role over the past few months but struck out each time.

Is the slump more the sdr/ae roles?

Do you believe there will be an influx of openings in January/February?

[juanmalagon]

Thank you for the information, Eric really appreciated it.

[storytimewithanne]

Great information, thank you for sharing do I am interested in your course do you take students from London, England.

I am planning on taking your course next year. Honestly my goal is not just to land a job but really work to be the greatest appointment setter / rep I can be. I know this will not be a get rich quick career but honestly, I'm planning on Learning from the bestt for the fist 4 months then applying and see where things take me. I will be a Accont executive when all things are said and done.

you reckon remote first companies/ pvt start ups will grow a lot less in 2024?

[christianwise]

What about skip tracing their name and cold calling the sales manager?

[kortejrv]

So, is it not worth trying to enter Tech Sales in 2024?

[bobtomia]

So you're telling me there's a chance... 😂

[PHJ]

You've only had 5 years of sales experience, so what makes you qualified to teach others about it? 5 years is nothing.

You need to use some of that tech sales money to buy a microphone. I’m backing out one minute in because I can’t stand the audio. Sorry.

[sorcereh]

If you think sending LinkedIn DMs or emails will help 🤣🤣 I would think you’re desperate and trying to circumvent hiring practices…
