hey Vin, I love your videos! Do you have any advice for someone who's a BDR transitioning to an AE?

[@vinmatano]

Thanks so much Nicole! I'd recommend 1) not letting your number slip, 2) grab time with AE management and give them a heads up that you're interested in the role. Ask what they are looking for from future reps and what you can do in the mean time to be ready. Whatever they say, take vigorous notes. Schedule check-ins every other month or so with updates on what they said. Once objectives are met, ASK for the opportunity to interview for the role. Hope this helps!

Preciate the advice Vin!

[@vinmatano]

[@OperationTechTakeOver]

This is a fantastic video, Vin! Thank you for creating dope content. I sent you a LI request as well. You have a great take on things, and I also like your collab videos.

I can see the high school video production skills shinning through, I was thinking man this dude has excellent skills in this department!

[@knicksnationtv]

Thanks for this Video.. I’m in NYC, 80% almost finished my Course Careers course. I’m open and willing to learn. I basically have no choice. Lol. Currently working three jobs, making good money but I’m killing myself. I need one job. I’m glad I found your channel. Don’t stop uploading content keep going.

[@vinmatano]

Wow thanks so much man! Course Careers is great. You got this!

[@scottrothlisberger7396]

In finance and think I’m gonna pivot to tech sales

[@raynavb]

waiting on you to found Matano Films Inc. hahaha - but my loophole for money is to be a video person in tech 👀

[@vinmatano]

You totally hacked the system. I had no idea freelance or even being employed by a tech company was a thing back in high school. I just remember googling "salary of video production" at all the major TV networks and was instantly turned off haha

[@Steve-hi1db]

Job market is brutal right now, still can’t stand out

[@vinmatano]

Have you tried what I recommended in the video?

[@romikaolukoya6205]

Hi Vin, when creating the prospecting deck, is it advisable to look for an account not currently with the company or pick on of their current accounts?

[@vinmatano]

I’d recommend looking for a customer on their website then picking a direct competitor as your example. For example, if Walmart is a customer, use Target as the example.
