I’ve worked at AT&T as a sales consultant for 6 years and 8 months where we prospect, uncover, and close on leads. I’ve used Salesforce for the past 4 years during my tenure. I’ve done B2B sales where I’ve received awards for it for 2 years consecutively. Loads of troubleshooting, uncovering needs through consultative styled selling, and tech app subscriptions.
I was wondering if I have the necessary skills to transition into a tech sales role. If so, what would be the best role/fit for me?Amazon Salesforce Google @

35.
I don’t think there’s any such thing as too young/old.
There are people who might be on the younger side of 35 when they make SM, likely due to being homegrown consultants.
In my case, I joined from industry and had to work my way up from Senior Consultant.
It depends on when you joined the B4. If you joined at 22, you could become one at 28-29. SM promos are like clockwork. Fastest vs the slowest is not going to be more than 2-3 years, again when and at what position you started at B4.
Manager 5 - Can you share your math on Partner breakeven calc? I’m relatively new to consulting, so the whole Partner track is still a little confusing.
Consulting; ironically one of the only fields where bothering with an advanced degree puts you permanently behind
Maybe at Accenture. A specialized business degree is a plus for exec roles.
49 - I came to consulting late and took a pause in my journey to raise a family.

44. I know of folks who did in their 30s. Their success all depends on their maturity. Had a few who were younger and popular among peers or yes people for poor leaders who promoted them for that reason but could not retain clients’ trust due to lack of maturity or foresight. Had others who were Directors in mid 30s who did well because they were a) really ridiculously smart b) strategic c) cared about the role and knew what they needed to know.
You also have a third strata of others who become senior managers or even C suite in their 30s and it’s because of family wealth or connections. It is what it is.
This is not an inclusive list of all the SMs in their 30s by any means though lol.
What’s funny about that? I know not one but two people who are execs in their parents’ companies or started companies with family money. Not knocking it necessarily - use the resources you have - just saying often folks have a different start than you so it’s not an effective comparison to go by age. Maybe I should have further clarified.
40, Came into consulting profession from industry
Same
M at 36 and SM at 38. Joined consulting from industry.

28 here - the right visibility projects, lots of high level sponsors, internal initiatives and sales work
^^ This. To get to SM fast, many neglect to consider that having a robust network that is going places is mandatory.
