TLDR

Reach potential customers through calls, email, and LinkedIn, book meetings for senior sales reps, and train on Salesforce, Outreach, and SalesLoft.

Break Into Tech Sales — No Experience Needed

If you’ve been trying to get your foot in the door but keep hearing “you need experience first”… this is for you.

We’re hiring driven, curious individuals ready to start a career in tech sales as a Sales Development Representative (SDR). Whether you’re coming from retail, hospitality, admin, or something completely different—what matters most is your mindset, not your resume.

This isn’t a “figure it out on your own” role. You’ll get structured training, real coaching, and the chance to build skills that companies actually hire for.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Reaching out to potential customers through calls, emails, and LinkedIn
  • Learning how to communicate value—not just pitch
  • Booking meetings for senior sales reps
  • Using tools like Salesforce, Outreach, and SalesLoft
  • Building confidence in conversations, objection handling, and problem-solving

What You’ll Gain:

  • Real, in-demand sales experience from day one
  • Ongoing coaching and support (not just a one-week onboarding)
  • A clear path into long-term roles in tech
  • Exposure to fast-growing companies and real sales environments

Who This Is For:

  • You’re early in your career or making a career switch
  • You’re coachable, resilient, and willing to learn
  • You don’t need a “perfect background”—you just need to be motivated
  • You want a role where effort actually translates into growth and opportunity

If you’re tired of being overlooked because you don’t have traditional experience, this is your chance to change that.
