I'm 35, have a useless associates degree in business admin/accounting, and been unemployed since the pandemic shutdown. I was working on my bachelor's, but life shows up and I now have to make money or be homeless. Thank you for this video! I've decided that I'm going into Sales, and leverage my customer service work experience, and affinity for working with/managing people into this career. I have nothing but desire and belief in myself. Your advice in this video gave me an epiphany, and I'll shoot my shot!
I came across your video just looking for general tips for sales jobs, but this is great advice! Being proactive in aligning with the company's/ customer's values is so important!
Good luck. I started in insurance sales running my first business. Wiped out pretty quickly. You can make money in insurance but it's a lot of following up multiple times a day.
Thanks for the tips. I've been an entrepreneur for 10 years and have exited two businesses. I'm now in a place I want to go work for another company and make some better money. This was certainly helpful.
This sounds like great advice for anybody looking to get into sales...for someone barely out of college or someone trying to dodge being put out to pasture (="retirement")
As a massage therapist looking to make a drastic career change, and this being the first video I’ve watched w/ the references to massage- I’m pretty sure this is a universal sign. Thanks Trent.
So I'm in one of those jobs where I'm trapped out of promotion by office politics and tenure. I've been here 3.5 yrs and I'm in a senior csr position. I'm also part of an additional team, which is the top 13 agents in our department of 130 or so. I didnt even get an interview when I put in an application for the next level. I'm super burnt out and the pay is barely enough fo live. I want to be in control of my own income. I review sales calls half my day at work and finding out these bumbling fools make 3x what I make was an extreme eye opener. I think I have unique qualifiers based on previous experience, world class interaction ability inbound or outbound(I do both in my current role), and I am a very quick learner who regularly has to work with other departments including corporate teams on project resolution. I keep hearing all these different sales job types and I'm wondering which you think is the absolute best for someone who is experienced enough on calls and selling(I have to sell incentives daily without any commission) to really hit the ground running? By sales job types I mean like B2C, B2B, Saas, inbound closing, etc...
@@TrentDressel im not interested in working for myself. I just want the ability to work from home and pay that reflects my performance. I live in a very low cost of living state so even 10-15% on top of what I'm making now would drastically change my quality of life. I am just finding it hard to motivate myself when my payment is consistent no matter my results.
@@jarrodpairgin6886 everyone thinks they serve to be paid more, how can you become more valuable to those around you & the marketplace? Best of luck finding that answer

I currently work as an electrician which is up selling some things and jobs but my heart is truly sales.

Hey Trent, I currently work as a fabric cutter at my current job. I use to be a credit sales men for Sam’s club back in 2019. Wanting to get back into the field but don’t know where to start. My current job is always hiring sales reps. What are way I can convince them in a valuable candidate for a position at my current job?
Is it possible to get into software sales without a bachelor’s degree? I have 6+ years of car sales experience and 9+ years of customer service experience, and I’m currently working at Tesla as a Sales advisor. No college, but looking to get a higher paying job and have been interested in tech/software sales, but all the listings I see require a bachelors degree.
Yes it’s possible. I partner with CourseCareers who helps folks like you gain access to information and tech sales with no degree or experience. Link: account.coursecareers.com/ref/10428/ $50 off code: TRENT50
I am someone that struggles with any social interaction in general. My adrenaline pumps like crazy, which keeps me from thinking straight, and causes me to shake a lot. Considering this, by going into sales, I would be attempting to fix that by jumping into the deep end. Is this a good idea?
People have anxiety in social situations because they are not prepared nor have a lot of experience. Working a job, you are improving a skill set 40 hours out of the week. If you put in 5 hours a week in any activity you will get better at it. I'm not the most sociable person but when I'm at work, I can speak to a client freely because I know what I'm doing and I am relaxed
I'd say that if you could get a sales job at somewhere less favourable for a short term so that you have that experience in the wider sales space then you could move into applying for companies you prefer after say 6 months- a year. Not something that ive done however seems like a viable option
I left the Air Force 2019. Going to school as a business major. Honestly if you wanna make 6 figs I would say use your post 9/11 and get a bachelors. It’ll be well worth it. It’ll get you in the door and combined with our military background you’ll stand out.
I’ve been a dancer for the past 5 years. It’s very hard to put that on a resume even though I do sales every day. I want to do the same job when I’m older just not in a club or 1/2 naked 😂 it’s the hustle for me. I don’t want to but I am forcing myself to go to college because I don’t want to be 40 and dancing. I’ve applied for so many jobs and most of them reject me or are a scam because I lack a degree and experience. It sucks but we might as well knock it out while we have the time, resources, money, and energy to do so. That piece of paper will give us more opportunities. I’m 25 and not giving up. We can do it! Hopefully that helps ☺️
You can not get into pharmaceutical sales without a B.A. or BS. MINIMIUM, a GPA over 3.0. and 5 yrs experience. I work pharma sales for 3 yrs and tried to get another position after my contract was up only to be told I did have enough experience. Well, how do I get experience if I can't get a job to get the experience? They don't care! Now they want a MBA, OR an RN, or experience with a 3.8 GPA. If you don't have any of those you get the middle finger from the companies you apply to.
Hey I’m only 15 years old, I really want to make good money early and save up for my first car and I don’t want to work 3 days a week just for 100 dollars I want to make good money and be my own boss
@B6 Gaming That's some good advice brother. I am interested in tech sales. Who can I acquire the skills that are needed to step into this field. Should I read books or watch RUclips videos. What would be the best source of knowledge in your opinion.
I currently work for the company I want the sales job for and don’t know if the boss will be offended if I say to him I want to work in their sales team instead of my current job (it sounds stupid but if you knew my boss you would understand) what do I do here, got any advice
This is going to come across as me being a total hater. In the very first minute, ever watching your context, I got zero value, and was asked to “watch til the end”, “like the video”, “something about a raffle” “something about your subs goal” I know things are a two way street and all, but it just hit me way, way wrong to the point I’m like *head scratch* “I don’t think this guy has the wisdom I’m looking for and I guess I’ll never know✌️ Figured I’d share my point of view.

Fix your mind and then go into sales
People have anxiety in social situations because they are not prepared nor have a lot of experience. Working a job, you are improving a skill set 40 hours out of the week. If you put in 5 hours a week in any activity you will get better at it. I'm not the most sociable person but when I'm at work, I can speak to a client freely because I know what I'm doing and I am relaxed
Would you say a degree is mandatory? I’m getting out of the air force soon and seriously considering this path.
A degree is helpful to get in the door at most companies which is the sad reality. You just need your first break then start performing
I'd say that if you could get a sales job at somewhere less favourable for a short term so that you have that experience in the wider sales space then you could move into applying for companies you prefer after say 6 months- a year. Not something that ive done however seems like a viable option
