According to the Future of Jobs 2023 report, cybersecurity is among the top strategically emphasised skills for the workforce. Yet, there is a shortage of 3.4 million cybersecurity experts to support today's global economy. This is a unique opportunity to create a career path guaranteed to bring you success. #ICS #IntrinsicConsultingSolutions #HereToHelp #HereToHire #cybersecurity

I recently have had a decent amount of Sr. leaders who appreciated my cold calls saying " I appreciate you showing the effort to give me a call and not the standard email that you send to a bunch of people". I also have seen and received negative comments from leaders saying they hate cold calls and "you have nothing better to do with your time than call me and waste my time" and hang right up. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure they are contacting the right person and clearly state the purpose of their call (as a recruiter I have had individuals try and sell me cyber security products which clearly I am the wrong person to be calling). What are your thoughts on cold calls? Do you find well-executed cold calls valuable and appreciate the personal touch, or do you believe the practice should be abandoned by sales professionals? #CyberSecurity #Sales #ColdCalls #Recruitment #CyberLeaders

Sales roles. What can I say? Some people love them. Some people hate them. But we all need them. Most people don't know that my first job out of the military was at Enterprise Rent a Car, in sales, as a manager in training. Now, I lean into the technical side of cybersecurity more than anything. But it was a great place to learn how to talk to people and find a solution to their problem. Tandem Cyber Solutions has an Independent Sales Rep program which means you too can learn to sell. While you are at it, you can earn a great commission and learn about offensive security. If you are interested, check it out. We are looking for motivated people to help us grow. If you are currently in sales. Great. You can still do that job too (as long as their isn't a conflict of interest of course). If you are college. Great. You can do it in your free time. If you are a stay at home mom or dad. Great. Same thing. Whatever your situation is, the program is flexible, has training, has a support system, and most of all compensates you for your spare time. Sign up on the interest form and I will happily walk through the program and commission rates. We keep everything simple because we just want to do great security. https://lnkd.in/e_2T_jkH

I think one of the best benefits of Tandem Cyber Solutions's sales rep program is the flexibility. Many people are in a place in life where they have to prioritize other things such as family or school. In most jobs, that gets in the way. In a role like this, you work when you want to, how you want to. Take days off when you need to. You set your schedule. Why not? I think flexibility is important these days in roles. People have different priorities and work may not be one of those.

🔒💼 Mastering the Cybersecurity & Sales Interview In today's competitive job market, showcasing expertise in both cybersecurity and sales can set you apart. Here are some strategies to help you shine during your next interview. First, highlight your technical skills with real-world examples. Discuss specific cybersecurity projects where you identified vulnerabilities, implemented solutions, and protected data. For instance, "I led a team to secure a company's network, reducing threats by 40%." This demonstrates your hands-on experience and problem-solving abilities. Next, blend in your sales acumen. Explain how your cybersecurity knowledge has helped you close deals or build client relationships. For example, "By understanding clients' security needs, I tailored solutions that increased sales by 30%." This shows you can bridge the gap between technical and business needs. Finally, practice your storytelling. Share success stories that combine both fields. "I once worked with a client who had major security concerns. By addressing these with our solutions, I not only secured their data but also secured a long-term contract." This paints a clear picture of your dual expertise.

🚨Breaking News🚨: Cybersecurity Sales is an Unethical Occupation! 😱 That's right, folks! #Sales teams delve deep into their prospective clients to learn about their careers and the company's unique challenges to offer solutions tailored to their specific needs. Salespeople suddenly approach a CISO at a #cybersecurity event, asking them about their latest talk and how interesting it was to start a meaningful conversation. Sales teams will invite you to a lovely, conveniently located restaurant to chat and exchange ideas with other CISOs. After all, it's a bit unethical type of work to get amazing results: 💡Tailored solutions. 🤝Trusting relationships. 🥂Awesome dinners.
