Rethink gets Scotia. Reaction time!

What do you use Python for at work?
Dig into your why and get some hands-on experience. Any good sales leader will be able to sniff out your motivation to get out of your current role/industry. People don’t ‘exit into sales’ - they enter - with drive.
I wouldn’t waste time with certs, just get right to work and if you can learn on the fly, you’ll find out quickly whether or not it’s a good fit. In your spare time, read some books by Mike Robbins or Dale Carnegie, the guys who did freakonomics, etc.
Do research & ask questions to become an expert at something, then practice pitching it with your friends and family. Go to a car dealership or high-end retail store as an observer of the process. Ask the employees what they’ve learned, what they like about their jobs or any struggles. Good luck & have fun if you decide to make the jump!
If I were you I would look for sales roles adjacent to your current clients/industries. There may be a health focused sales role within Accenture. You could also push to help your current leadership with sales activities like targeting, outreach, and market research to try and build up your sales credentials before you make a switch.
If you want out immediately I’d look for sales roles within the broader health industry. Hopefully you’ll be able to foray your current skills and offset any sales experience requirements this way.
Before making this big jump I would ask myself the following:
- how comfortable am I with rejection
- am I willing to take a pay cut for an opportunity to break into sales
- how much time am I willing to invest before turning back to my current path
- what do I want to sell? (Consulting services, hardware, IT applications and platforms)
- what kind of team do I want to join? (B4, F500, niche player, start up)
- who do I have in my network that I can ask about a potential career in sales
Best of luck
Exactly this 👆🏾
Why are you looking to get into sales? You need a real good reason for that? Sales is not an easy game and if you’re not motivated (especially money motivations) you’ll be screen yourself out of the interviews really quicklyZ
Director 1: I really think it depends more on the hiring manager themselves and their style of selling and their personality (which I like to gauge with open ended questions in the interview) but I think it’s safe to use certain buzzwords throughout. I like to use customer centric and experience obsessed (to illustrate that even when a deal doesn’t close I’m obsessed with them having a great experience with me so that they’ll come back and do business with me (specifically me as I’ve developed a ton of trust with them). I use the word consultative a lot to illustrate my ability to strategize with the prospect about them and their buisness goals, ROI, scale and branding etc. I use the word intuitive a lot to illustrate my listening and psychological skills to overcome objections. Value, of course, but I use that to illustrate my love for the product I’m selling and general product knowledge so the customer feels safe to spend $$$$$ with me. Solution centric, of course, prospect don’t give a shit about how fancy my product is but how it’s going to solve their biz problems.
You ultimately have to be able to demonstrate your intuitive ability because like you said if you try to follow this like a Bible you’ll fail (and probably won’t be listening that well too.)
In addition to the suggestions above, you might want to consider as well focusing on your networking. It will really help you. Reach out to as many recruiters to increase your chances of getting hired in sales. Good luck!
