About this Event

Introduction

Hello there, my name is Sean and I'm pleased to meet you! I'm a young professional who's recently transitioned into the sales field and learned a lot about the industry from mentors, research and practical experience. I would love the opportunity to tell you everything I've learned and help you discover the sales field and if a career in sales is right for you. Throughout the night, I'll provide stories from my own experiences, the advice I've picked up and all the information you need to explore, understand and make an informed decision.


Topics At A Glance

Commission: what it is, how it works and how to make the most of it


Entry Level Roles: What you'll be doing and the salary range you can expect


Misconceptions and Not To Dos: Why the "pushy used car salesman" is NOT what success looks like and common traps to avoid


Industry Expectations and Startups: What sales looks like in different industries, how to assess new products and why it's perfect for a career pivot


Tips and Tricks: There are no "magic words" to create a sale, but I'll tell you some methods and strategies that I've learned that will help you do your best


Is Sales Right For You?: While this is a question only you can answer, I'll tell you the most important things to consider before making the leap
