What is Reddit's opinion of The Challenger Sale: Taking Control of the Customer Conversation?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Yes, it is possible. In fact you could make much more in technical sales, since their comp is based on the size of the win, plus a lot of other cash incentives to win more.In most organizations, there is a concept of profit center vs cost center. If you are part of the profit center (money making guys) then you enjoy a lot of perks.

Explore roles like Inside Sales Representatives, these guys reach out to prospective customers and generate leads which may develop into a sell. Or start as a junior Account Manager. My personal path was Software Dev > Project Management > IT Consulting > Customer Success.

In short any customer facing role can be a door opener for you.

Lastly, dont try to be too "sales-y". The era of "car sales" man style pushy sales is over. Read the The Challenger Sale to get an idea of the modern sales.

Challenger sales training. Put solving your customer's most critical business problems first and at the heart of any solution you put forward. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0670922854/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3H7TVWLF8RL6X&coliid=I1IUSTSXNP0BA2
