Ascension really sets you up for success in every way. The cold-calling training was a game-changer, (almost to the point where the hiring manager didn't make me do a re-run post-feedback because of how good it was.)

What made you join Tech Sales Ascension?
I had previous experience in investment banking and customer success, and just didn't really feel like I was seeing that upward mobility or excitement about what I was doing. After seeing and doing research on Tech Sales, I realized very quickly it was something I was drawn to.
What was the most valuable part of the program to you?
The introduction to specific tech-sales tools and directories that were extensively taught inside the course. It really helped me think like sales rep and show up with my stuff together for every single interview. And thanks to you guys, you really helped me narrow down my search and ultimately land at one of the highest paying and most progressive tech sales companies in the world.
What advice do you have for someone considering Tech Sales or Ascension?
One piece of positive feedback I received from my recruiter and hiring manager was that they were really impressed by my mock call (to the point where the hiring manager almost didn’t make me do a re-run post-feedback). I’m not saying that I gave the best mock cold call, but prior to my interviews, I constantly recorded myself and practiced going through the Tech Sales Ascension cold-calling scripts to the point where, as Eric mentioned, it was like muscle memory and felt less forced. I'd say find yourself a community or individual who can help you shortcut the path. For me, Higher Levels was an obvious choice and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to break into Tech Sales.
