Hello everyone,

I’m a recent graduate trying to find my first bdr/ b2b sales job. Preferably at tech/software company. Is there any pointers you guys could give me to help me secure my first role. Also if your company is hiring for entry level, let me know I’m actively looking and willing to relocate.

I have some door to door sales experience and took a internship selling life insurance last summer.

Make your resume number and metrics focused and when they ask you “why sales” tell them you are money motivated and competitive and have stories to back up. And when they ask you “why should we hire you” you need to say you are coschable, hardworking and gritty and accountable and when asked “what motivates me” I always say financial freedom and short term goals. That did really well for me

Sorry for the late reply, I didn’t realize you sent your LinkedIn. I just sent you an invite to connect.

Start networking as early as now. Join groups and organizations of people aligned with your career. Attend seminars and trainings as much as possible so you can meet senior professionals and potential employers.

Where would I find such seminars and trainings?

The more applications you have out the more likely you are to hear back, kinda like throwing shit at the wall, the more you throw the more will stick lol. Anyways, once you get to the interview process don't be afraid to ask questions about the company, their goals, who you'd be working under, etc. The more you ask the more interest you'll protect, and also the more likely they are to see you as a career minded individual. When it comes to being asked questions, just be transparent, and yourself

When you are looking for a job you are basically selling yourself. If you want to be successful in sales you need to know it’s a numbers game. My first sales job was selling sales training. Figure that one out. Take some sales courses and read up on sales and whatever you want to sell. You don’t need to know everything but it will get you heading the right direction.
