The best decision I have ever made.
I joined Always Hired through the paid tuition program while I had made a choice to switch career paths and landed my first position as a BDR without any sales experience. Upon my first day, it came to my surprise that the company that hired me functions with primarily remote employees. This made it hard for me to receive training, and I began to develop feelings of self-doubt questioning if I made the right choice to join this industry. Booking opportunities seemed impossible as I had no idea how to perform any of the daily (S)BDR duties.
I knew coding bootcamps existed in the city, so I wondered if any existed for sales. It took one google search to find Always Hired, and after reading the curriculum, I knew the program would teach me to develop the fundamental skills needed to succeed in tech sales. I made no hesitation in enrolling in the program.
I joined Always Hired while I was in the second month of my BDR role. I managed to go from booking 0 appointments to becoming an expert in sales, booking 18 opportunities within that second month. I ranked as the top BDR within my company and was not only able to profoundly impress my employers but primarily myself.
Gabe was able to turn the self-doubt I had into feeling confident and ready to win over VPs and Directors. Gabe makes himself available at your convenience and will sacrifice his free time/nights/weekends to ensure you are prepared and feel comfortable to take on interviews, and anything you need help with. Additionally, he pushed other students and me out of our comfort zones to engrain in us that we have to put in the work to produce results.
Without this program, I would have never learned the sales process of having a sales stack, salesforce, creating call scripts & playbooks, write email campaigns/scripts, cold call, handle objections and rebuttals, generate leads & SO MUCH more! It is like a college course for tech sales, with homework/quizzes that will only aid in retaining the skills you need for the role. Every lesson I had left me inspired at the end as you not only learned about sales but devised a career plan with a set of goals for career mobility.
I'm incredibly grateful for the hard work that Gabe, Elliot, and Charlie put in to ensure you are successful. If you are looking to switch career paths and/or have no experience in tech sales, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALWAYS HIRED! read more
