I’m looking at Salesforce certs currently, specifically CPQ specialist. But following for more recs!

Honestly all that most companies care about is a history of successfully closing deals. You could be a middle school drop out that never learned to read, if you can sell and sell consistently you will get hired.

The only certifications that would matter potentially are for technical sales roles but even then almost all companies would still take the illiterate middle school drop out that could sell water to a drowning swim team over the guy with 20 certifications and a chill personality

It sounds like first priority (which is obvious and goes without saying) is being first a good closer.

However, to differentiate between other closers certifications help do that. It gives you the expertise to have those conversations with clients IT team and turn them into your own champions.

Following this!

Interviewed for a company today. The remuneration package $120k-$180k/year [Base + % of Commission = OTE] (50/50 spilt).

They’re asking for an expected salary, if my expected salary is $100k/year, comes out to $8.3k/month.

Based on the $180k and paymix of 50/50, that means $90k is the base salary which is lower than my expected - is this correct? If so, what should I do?

I’m in Sales, but brand new to tech sales. I had a resume person help me - gorgeous cover letter too that showcases my skills.

I keep getting rejected for lack of SaaS experience. What can I say or do to get my foot in the door? I am confident that I can crush it but not even getting past the gatekeeper at this point. It’s a blanket “ we need someone with experience” and I’m trying to not get discouraged.
