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 @

Account Executive / Senior Vendor Manager would probably be good fits for you at Amazon.
Depending on the college you went to and w/ your YOE you should start at L5/L6. With an MBA you’d cement it to be L6.
Depending on your location and final team, total compensation can be anything between 100-200k.

You might want to check the jobs sites and see of any roles that align with your skills. Lots of companies are hiring, although instead of Big Tech 4, you might want to consider BIG 3 Consulting … McKinsey, BAINE, BCG… along with Kearney ?

I’ll take a look at the listings and see what fits. My ultimate goal was to get insight from anyone who had a background similar to mine that have transitioned into a tech role whether if it was either sales or consulting

I’m trying to get a feel for what I should be applying for and a range of salary I should ask for based on experience. I feel like I’ve outgrown my position and like I should be making more than 63k OTE for the skills that I have

Are you in the retail store or an Account Executive on the Business end?

I’m an AE for Enterprise & Mid Market Customers in Seller Services (Working in EU)
Great WLB if you hit your targets - can be very stressful otherwise.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.
