My Honest Career Advice for Aspiring Tech Sales Reps | Lead Ep. 334
Nick Cegelski and Armand Farrokh tackle the biggest sales career questions—from landing your first SDR role to earning promotions, breaking into SaaS, and accelerating your path to President’s Club. 🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Stand out in interviews by skipping “spray and pray” applications—network with reps, cold email leaders, and show you can sell your way into the process. Know when to stay or move on by evaluating the “four pillars”: learning, earning, growing, and connection. If only two are strong, it’s time to leave. Avoid career-stalling habits like job-hopping for small pay bumps or choosing companies with poor growth. Prioritize strong leadership and investor backing. Accelerate your career trajectory by shadowing top performers, over-indexing on work ethic early, and self-educating on both sales skills and your target industry. More of a visual learner?
