I'm new to the War Room so let me say hi first. Hi.
Now on to business, I'm currently working for a company that manufactures a very specific type of construction equipment. I'm wanting to break into SaaS sales (so I can work remotely and relocate) but I'm having a difficult time, I'm looking for any advice that might help me get my foot in the door.
Here's what I think recruiters see as negatives.
- I have no post-secondary schooling
- I've only sold physical products (though the majority of this is selling by phone/email/video)
- I have no formal training
When I read the descriptions of what these companies are looking for, it's like they're thinking of me when writing the role (other than if they as for a degree or SaaS experience) I'm super dependable, take ownership, I'm insane with time management, I don't have a big ego, I get along with everyone and I enjoy collaborating with other sales reps and other departments even when that means I'm not the one getting the commission from a sale.
So, what advice can you throw at me? or what questions do you have?
Thanks everyone!
