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 @

Ultimately, no manager worth their salt would inherently think bad about an employee that confidently fights for their worth and has the ambition for upward mobility.
Ask to apply for the position.
Apply for the position internally. Talk to your manager and recruiter. Don’t tell them you undercut yourself. Explain how you can take on the responsibilities of the role and what you can bring to the table. Use your experience at the company to add to it and go beyond scope/expectations.
Yo, go talk to someone IRL. Don’t let it gnaw at you.
You’ll have to leave and come back or just leave. As much as they might admire it, I don’t know of any agency that skips levels due to the politics of it all and other employees. And even if they did, proving yourself to colleagues and gaining trust isn’t easy. Perception is hard to change It sucks.
Agree with VML 1. If I knew your office I could help you even more.
Always speak your mind.
But also, it never hurts to have leverage. (And by leverage I mean another offer) Especially if you are not in KC.
As someone who has been in the industry for a while, you most likely will need to boomerang. But don’t let that discourage you. What can you lose by speaking up? You’ll be glad that you did in a year
Normally I would agree with VML 1 about a manager not being mad at someone on their team fighting for what they think they’re worth, but as a former VML employee who experienced just that, I can’t 100% say that’s the case. I guess it all depends on who your boss is and how much you think they’re actually in your corner vs. their own.
Worked at VML and this is a bit tricky since they will likely view it as you asking for a promotion while also trying to skip a level in between. Would be worth it to try to feel out the hiring manager but be cautious not to tip your hand if applying turns out to be a no-go and you want to stay there.
