What are some good companies to work that will take on someone with new with no experience? I have 6 years of sales experience and I’m bilingual.

If you have 6 years of experience, why are you asking about companies that will hire someone without experience? What’s going on?

I’m switching industries I never sold tech. I’ve been selling cars for the past 6 years and just wanting to get away from being at a dealership 24/7

Here we go. We just referenced this in a thread. I started in car sales and eventually moved into tech. It takes a few steps, and you’ll have to commit. Feel free to DM me

I also started selling cars and moved to tech. It’s very doable.

What’s the best companies to reach out to for SDR / BDR roles for a career changer looking for solid base comp and decent OTE (financial advisor made 120k last year 3 years hit quota every year cold calling running the sales process so I think I have relevant AE skills but I get taking a step down since I have no SAAS sales skills. (However I have 1.5 years of IT recruiting experience where I also crushed quota and learned a bit about IT broadly) Thanks

Has massive growth ever led to mental breakdown? I have been hustling since 17 years old chasing to strive for success doing odd jobs and unintentionally ended up with Edtech K12 Sales as my first official sales job - A toxic culture with no employee respect eventually me to switch after 18 months. Since reps in Edtech are highly valued, had no option but to continue in Edtech sales. This time it was higher education segment, things looked good in the first few month but slowly it started adapting methodologies like the old Edtech since the management was changed. I decided to move out and switch to B2B SaaS. After 13 months of learning & success, my aspirations weren’t matching with the growth vision shared by my manager and ended up being desperate to switch. Got to a AM-Inside Sales role with a 50% hike. Guess what? It led to my mental break down since the culture is pathetic. In entire journey, all challenges never affected my performance but l am losing the spark to glow and hustle eventually. While I plan to switch, a token of guilt is still alive. The experiences have made me far better and strong as a BDR but blank about the next steps in my career. Thanks for reading. Do share your thoughts.

Has anyone had experience with short-term consulting opportunities with expert network companies like AlphaSights / GLG on the side of full-time job? Seems like low lift / low time investment, and chance to make another $10k+ over the year
