**Department:** Salt Lake City, UT Pool Req

## Description

**Break Into Tech Sales — No Experience Needed**

If you’ve been trying to get your foot in the door but keep hearing “you need experience first”… this is for you.

We’re hiring driven, curious individuals ready to start a career in tech sales as a Sales Development Representative (SDR). Whether you’re coming from retail, hospitality, admin, or something completely different—what matters most is your mindset, not your resume.

This isn’t a “figure it out on your own” role. You’ll get structured training, real coaching, and the chance to build skills that companies actually hire for.

**What You’ll Be Doing:**

-   Reaching out to potential customers through calls, emails, and LinkedIn
-   Learning how to communicate value—not just pitch
-   Booking meetings for senior sales reps
-   Using tools like Salesforce, Outreach, and SalesLoft
-   Building confidence in conversations, objection handling, and problem-solving

**What You’ll Gain:**

-   Real, in-demand sales experience from day one
-   Ongoing coaching and support (not just a one-week onboarding)
-   A clear path into long-term roles in tech
-   Exposure to fast-growing companies and real sales environments

**Who This Is For:**

-   You’re early in your career or making a career switch
-   You’re coachable, resilient, and willing to learn
-   You don’t need a “perfect background”—you just need to be motivated
-   You want a role where effort actually translates into growth and opportunity

If you’re tired of being overlooked because you don’t have traditional experience, this is your chance to change that.
