Hi Everyone,

At the moment I'm a procurement consultant in London, but want to make a move towards supply chain consulting. My preference would go out to a supply chain consulting role which is more analytically challenging. Do you have any advice on how to make the transition (e.g. firms which would help me transition or courses to upskill myself before applying)?

Thanks for the help!

I am looking to get into technical/engineering sales. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to start or places to look at?

Hi, I am currently in the process of breaking into tech sales. One hurdle that I am trying to get over is being able to displaying my current role as a Materials planner into tech sales, I currently do alot B2B communication high volume emailing and calls. Any help would be appreciated.

Top SDRs oftentimes don't sound like traditional salespeople when cold calling. They use a very casual voice tone.

Here are a few tips:

1. Avoid upward inflections at the end of sentences. This makes it sound like everything you ask is a question
2. Slow down and eliminate buzzwords. Speaking fast makes you sound nervous and less confident
3. Avoid reading from a script - internalize your message and put it into your own works so you sound like YOU!

Thoughts? What are your top tips?

I’d like to transition from consulting and corporate strategy/dev to sales and business development…

Selling was a part of my experience thus far but I don’t have formal sales credentials.

How do I find out which part (SDR,BDR, etc.) I’d be best at?

A+ Network, interpersonal relationship building is my best skill, 5y consulting experience, NYC.

Advice appreciated. Ping me if you could use someone like me on your team.
