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 @

Great take, I think it is actually harder to say things in a clear and simple way. It reminds me of that famous quote from Mark Twain: "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead." I think I do fall into this trap when explaining my past experiences. Can you tell us some past examples that stood out for you?
Absolutely, clarity is tough but memorable. Candidates who focus on one strong example and frame it with context, action, and result usually stand out, like someone explaining how they led a small team to cut deployment time by 30% in just a few sentences.

Such a good reminder. I’ve been guilty of overexplaining when I’m nervous. Framing answers around a clear takeaway or headline probably helps you get remembered—for the right reasons. I'd love to know what phrasing tends to stick best in recruiter notes.
Exactly, a headline with a concrete result works best. Notes tend to stick when you lead with the outcome, then briefly summarize how you achieved it. Simple metrics or impact statements are gold.
