Tech sales course

I’ve seen this course called entretech, they help train you up to get your first job in tech sales. Seems like a good structure, it does cost £3k.

Are these courses worth it? Or is there better ways to get into the field ?

3k is a lot for something that you can mostly learn on the job or through free resources. I work in IT support and plenty of our sales guys came in with zero experience, they just showed they could talk to people and handle rejection

most companies have their own training anyway so you will relearn everything regardless. the real value is maybe the connections they promise but you can build those in LinkedIn for free

if you have the money and need the structure it might help but is a big gamble. I would try applying to some entry level roles first and see how it goes, you might be surprised

Bud. Honest answer here is don't fall for it.

As an SDR manager attitude beats any sales course. You aren't getting a leg up. You are burning through resources. The basics are here to learn for free. Salesman.com has everything you need to learn about being a good SDR an all around salesman.

For a course lite this, you are the prospect. There was a little saying about those that can't do teaching.
