One thing some of the sales directors liked was when I came into the intro interview prepared as if I was already working there as a business development rep or account executive… I did enough research to know the right customers… Sizes of companies, industry, prospects, title, etc.… And created a list of companies and people that I found and names on LinkedIn… And tied certain customers they already have as why I chose XYZ companies. *pardon poor grammar as I am talking to text
Hey brother, really appreciate the good content you preaching. Just wanna let you know that you have helped me a lot in getting sales in the business and understanding the client and i appreciate that.
You went straight in as an account executive from college? No entry level SDR or BDR? What made you different? Plenty people have a degree and can’t start as an AE. Please don’t take in the wrong way, just wondering.
I recently started as an AE, out of college, used my experience in other customer facing roles to my advantage. I also did field sales whilst in college part time
Every single company I have been interviewing with has 4 to 5 rounds of interviews, and I have spent 20 hours or so on each creating presentations, videos, assignments, etc.… It is a very obscure job market to say the least… Even though there are plethora openings… Many are in no hurry to hire… Also, noticing a lot of Ghosting by recruiters and a lot less humanity behind the interview process. Of course I always ask for feedback, etc.… PS, pardon poor grammar as I’m talking to text
Sales reps don't close it's the account executive job... Plus they already told you what they want you to do in the job description ... So asking them what they want from you makes you look foolish and will make them think that you didn't even bother to read the job description... Also interviews usually go through 3 rounds, they tell you what your duties are and what they expect from you and what you will be doing as an sdr in the first round ...
Aloha Patrick, Huge mahalo to the contents you have posted! I have learned a lot and it did prove beneficial to a recent AE interview with a hiring manager and was offered the role by the end of the call. The feedback that I received from my role play though was “to not ask permission” because it opens a window for them to say no. I even crafted a similar cold call script you had done from previous videos. What do you think of this advise from this sales manager? I’m not sure that’s my sales style but I could use your feedback on that feedback I received. Mahalo, Pauline
Pauline, there is nothing wrong with asking for permission. That is one of my favorite things to do when closing a sale. Looking forward to what Patrick responds with.
Interesting video with some helpful tips, but I don’t like the patronising attitude and the idea that you’re something special, that’s just a fantasy which exists in your head.
Can’t tell you how much your videos helped me. I landed the sales job and couldn’t be happier. Thank you!!!
So happy for you!

Did you get it

I’ve noticed an increase in Entry Level AE roles so it’s not unlikely to start as one as of recent
I recently started as an AE, out of college, used my experience in other customer facing roles to my advantage. I also did field sales whilst in college part time
I guess if you have experience with customer facing roles or just things you did that showed that you had the skillsets to do well as an AE.
Thank you Patrick
Excellent video
What you share can and will work in many other areas too not only sales🤝
Thank you Patrick, it is fab!

Hey Patrick, this content is killer, I've watched it twice and will come back for more. Well done mate.
Some of this is good info. In my experience they want metrics. You can razzle on dazzle but what were your numbers?

Hi Sir Patrick
I can't send you a direct message on twitter
Interesting video with some helpful tips, but I don’t like the patronising attitude and the idea that you’re something special, that’s just a fantasy which exists in your head.
Thank you Patrick, it is fab!
