Not a very technically strong person but I can say with my last 6 years in tech sales that I'm pretty good in the sales aspect. What are the top companies to work for right now that have great products? I would love to work for Usergems or Nvidia and great companies like that but I've heard you need a lot of technical knowledge to land jobs in such places.

Salesforce! They're the CRM king for a reason. Their platform is used everywhere, and they invest heavily in training. You don't need to be a coder to sell Salesforce, you need to understand business needs and how their solutions solve them. Plus, they have a great culture and professional development programs

If I have to book 20 meetings a month, how many conversations do I need to be having a day ( email, LinkedIn, cold calls, dark social ) with a drop out rate at 20%.

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

I’m curious what non sales positions people from sales transfer into. Currently a sales rep at a cybersecurity firm but am interested in exploring industries that have a bit less stress involved.
