I’ve 3 years of sales experience in retail ( reached 90k over target) and 2 years of digital marketing experience, I love selling and building connections with people, I want to join a Saas company and work as a SDR but keeping getting rejected due to the fact that I’ve no saas selling experience. I love to learn! Is there any recommended courses or anything I can do to get my foot in the door?

I’m a native English and mandarin speaker based in Dublin, Ireland.

If it's in your budget, I'd recommend enrolling in an SDR program like SV Academy. If that's not feasible, at the very least, I'd have my resume professionally optimized. I'm sure you have some excellent transferable skills. Just need an expert to showcase them to prospective employers. You should be able to find affordable resume writers on a site like Upwork. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your helpful suggestions! :)

I would recommend looking at customer success roles, and going for smaller SaaS companies rather than the bog ones. I worked at a smaller SaaS company for awhile and they were willing to take the pivoters one, and it was a good, low-pressure way to break into sales!
