Sales School Singapore’s Post

From 2018 - 22, I earned $3,843,695 in tech sales. But I didn’t live a multi-million-dollar lifestyle. The goal was to get so rich I could quit. Not just the corporate rat race, but quit 3 things: - Defining my self-worth through leaderboards - Working on projects that didn’t bring joy - Sacrificing the things that matter Instead of jumping into building a sales coaching empire, I freed myself up to run a “calm company.” At this stage, it feels like work that I want to do forever. I am free to: - Write about things I care about - Engage with people I admire - Design work around my life If I’m honest, I thought like this throughout my career. I always endeavored to turn my work into play. But here’s a fact: As long as someone owns your calendar, it will be impossible to have the full freedom to do what you want, when you want, with who you want. Here’s another fact: There is no better role in the corporate world to accelerate this journey to full autonomy than sales, especially strategic tech sales.

A month into Beauhurst and thank god my onboarding has been going better than my bowling As any salesperson will know, onboarding means building pipeline 📈 I've never had the chance to actually sell a platform that benefits sales teams and therefore use it myself 🤓 Not only that, but I've been prospecting recruitment and software companies and speaking to people who get the challenges that we all face in commercial roles 💼 Here's a few things that have been working for me: 💛 Voicenotes! I've been calling and emailing too, but what seems to really be working are voicenotes with my connections on LinkedIn. Fellow salespeople respect the different approach, you only have a minute to get to the point, and you can only send them to connections so you've already got that level of acceptance 💛 Gong calls Watching the teams sales calls and after they carry out discovery, pause the recording and have a think about how you would proceed, whether that's how you would demo the product, what questions you would ask, or if you'd qualify out. Then you can unpause and compare to what happened in the live call Shoutout to David for the tip 💛 Beauhurst Would be a bit rude of me to not mention the newest tool that I'm adding to my outbound repertoire Accessing company data all in one place so I can use triggers like funding rounds, features on high growth lists, and just general news has made my personalisation much speedier 🏎️ That's all for now, but if you want to learn anymore about how your team can benefit from hidden data then give me a message. This pipeline isn't going to build itself! 🫡

From customer service to tech sales 🔥 Meet Reyanna Rif, who after trying a few different roles decided to explore sales as a potential long career path. When I first spoke to Reyanna, she spoke about how she wanted grow into a role before committing to a long-term career. After hearing about what a career in software sales looks like, she decided to use Earlywork as a way to learn about what tech sales is and it’s suitability for her long-term ambitions. I love Reyanna’s story because from the first moment I spoke to her, she had a willingness and keenness to learn and try different things. Her story is a reminder how far that attitude can take you, given that she has started a role at Sonder, an international workplace care platform. When I asked Reyanna about Earlywork’s biggest value add she said that the “constant communication and motivation,” was huge for her. She noted that “after the whole team finish their lessons they don't just clock out, they are constantly motivating students and helping them figure out their pathway. They work to every individual's talent/personality/skills and help find a job best suited for each person.” Can’t wait to see her thrive at Sonder 🚀 If you’re curious about what a tech sales career looks like we run a free workshop every Monday.

From In-Office Corporate Sales to Closing Deals Anywhere in the World 🌍 A HUGE congratulations to Jack 🚀 for transforming his life in just 4 months. Four months ago, Jack was grinding away as an Account Manager at a tech company. He was doing well on paper—but something felt off. 👉 The 9-5 grind didn’t align with his vision. 👉 He craved freedom, flexibility, and work that truly inspired him. Fast forward to today: - Jack has left the corporate world behind. - He’s now a full-time closer for the UK’s leading running coach—a dream role for someone who’s completed marathons and ultra-marathons. - He’s closing multiple deals a day, doing work that lights him up, and earning more than he did in his tech job. But here’s the real story: The transformation wasn’t just about learning sales skills—it was about finding alignment. When you sell something you truly believe in, it’s no longer a “job.” Conversations flow naturally, and success follows. The hardest part? Taking the first step. Jack took that step. He trusted the process, leaned into our program, and took full ownership of his future. Now he’s living a life he once thought was out of reach. And the best part? Jack’s story isn’t unique. It’s possible for anyone who’s willing to bet on themselves. So if you’re feeling stuck in work that doesn’t inspire you, ask yourself this: What kind of life do you really want to live?

One of the most surprising discoveries I’ve made through the CloudTask Marketplace is the sheer amount of talented Americans ready to bring incredible value at $35,000 to $45,000 annual salaries. Take Mia, for example. She’s based in the USA and has years of experience as an SDR and SDR Manager. Now, she’s looking for her next role as a Customer Success Manager—and she’d crush it in that position! The lesson here? Great talent isn’t always where you expect; it doesn’t always come at the price tag you’ve been told. You need the right marketplace to find them. 👉 Check out Mia in the video below and book an interview today with the link below. https://lnkd.in/gei35C5z

One of the things that helped me go from SDR to VP Sale by age 30? Work ethic - I didn’t finish school with very good grades - Didn’t go to college - No Masters degree I also didn’t have many opportunities growing up. But... I put 150% into everything I do regarding my career. We can all work hard. I worked very long days and weekends. And I rarely burnt out. Because I love my job. And wanted to build a great life for me and my family. I’m slowing down for the next 12-18 months to enjoy some quality time with my partner and our 6 month boy. Then I’ll fire things up again. If you’re just getting into sales and reading this. 1. Enjoy the journey 2. Stop looking for the silver bullet 3. Find out what the A+ reps do 4. Copy them  5. Outwork them If you've been in sales for a while and not getting the success you want, before you break and build the process Ask yourself... Am I working my arse off daily and leaving everything on the pitch? - If the answer is no, I'd fix that problem first. - If the answer is yes, it might be time to get yourself a coach or some new skills. What's one thing that really helped you?

I started my career as an SDR (before they even called it that). My job was to book appointments for mostly older, male sellers. One day, I asked my boss, Jake, what steps I needed to take to become a full-fledged, customer-facing salesperson. His response? "You’ll never make it. It’s not in your DNA. Be happy you have a job and learn to do it well." 👀 Fast forward a few years: Not only did I land a sales role at another company, but I also rose to VP of Sales, leading my team to become #1 in the country! 💪 Three years later, I started my own training company with a mission: To lift others up, give them the skills, frameworks, and, most importantly, the confidence to excel – to unleash their hidden potential. Flash forward to the early 2000s: I was conducting a sales training in Orlando. Over 600 sellers, managers, and sales leaders showed up. The line to get in stretched outside the building. It sold out. 🚀 At the break, one of the front-line managers, Penelope, ran up to me. "I think you know my colleague, Jake," she said. "Yes," I replied. "He says he taught you everything you know!" 😂 "Is he here?" I asked. "Oh no, our company only sent upper management. He’s a front line manager now," she said. "Please tell him I said hello," I responded. Key Lessons: ✨ Don’t believe the critics. When they say you can’t, fight harder. ✨ Be kind. Your friends on the way up are the same on the way down. ✨ Trust in yourself. You are capable of doing more than you think. (Side note: Jake has referred me many times since then.) 😏 #throwbackthursday, #Nevergiveup, #heartandsell, #salesmotivation

Being a top-performing AE has some serious perks. It was the best part of my corporate career when I look back. Bosses aren’t on your case - your goals are higher than theirs. Your calendar is yours to manage - something I missed as a VP. Your travel can be maneuvered around your schedule for the most part. Prospecting isn’t an issue because, as a top performer, you’ve mastered this and been consistent, so there is always momentum. You'll get comp checks you probably daydreamed about in your first sales role. It’s an effort to rise to the top seller spot on any team or org. But wow, it’s WORTH IT to put the time in and hone your craft as a seller.
