Career Pivot - Sales Ops to Sales (hunter/farmer)

How do I successfully land a 6 figure sales job with a sales operations resume? I can more than do the job, I have the skills, experience and aptitude and will not take no for an answer.. However, I'm getting many NO's on my applications!

How do you know you can do the job?

If you're entering interviews with 0 experience and 100 confidence you're going to have a rough go.

Hmm this is always hard because ppl want to see that you have closed deals before. do you have sales experience prior to the sales ops experience?

Ops is completely different than closing. I'm stumped. 🤔

OK, so I do know an ops person who moved into AE, but it was at the same company, and that company has a tradition of enabling transfers into other roles, even profoundly different ones.

So is there an opportunity for you to move into sales at your current company?

@leslieortega88: mind sharing an anonymous copy of your resume here?

You wanna make the big money now? You will probably have to take a step or two back in order to take 2-3 steps forward. No risk, no reward.

It takes time to land such job. The key is how to show them how you'd done it in the past. Showcase your expertise on your resume with figures, percentages, numbers. Show them, don't tell them. I wish you much luck!
