Transitioning from professional rugby to tech sales was a significant shift for me. The Tech Sales program provided a clear framework for understanding B2B processes, pipeline management, and negotiation strategy. The structured approach felt familiar, much like preparing for a competitive season. Shortly after completing the training, I received an offer from a technology company.
My background in athletics taught me discipline and consistency, but I lacked business knowledge. The Tech Sales course helped me understand prospecting, qualification, and stakeholder communication in a practical way. After completing the program and applying the techniques during interviews, I secured an offer in the tech industry.
I decided to pursue tech sales while still competing in football. The program was intensive and highly practical, which suited my performance-driven mindset. Learning how to communicate value rather than features was particularly impactful. I recently accepted an offer from a SaaS company.
As a swimmer, I’m used to incremental improvement and performance metrics. Tech Sales mirrored that structure — measurable results, consistent outreach, and ongoing refinement. The mock calls and interview preparation were especially valuable. I successfully passed the recruitment process and received an offer.
Boxing requires focus, composure, and strategic thinking — qualities that translated well into sales. The Tech Sales training helped me formalise those instincts into a clear sales methodology. After completing the course and several interview stages, I was offered a position with a growing tech firm.
Moving from competitive tennis into tech was a new challenge. The program provided a strong foundation in account management and discovery calls, with practical feedback throughout. The preparation made a noticeable difference during interviews. I’m pleased to say I have received and accepted an offer in tech sales.

Your answer could be here
No. This playbook is specifically designed for people with zero tech sales experience. We assume you're starting from scratch and walk you through every step in plain English.
Most people following the 30-day action plan start booking interviews within 2-3 weeks. Some even faster if they're applying the scripts and templates immediately. Speed depends on your consistency and market conditions.
Absolutely. This playbook is built for career transitions. Whether you're injured, retired, or just looking for a change, the principles of discipline, resilience, and work ethic translate directly to tech sales.
Tech sales is one of the few high-paying careers where your background matters less than your hustle. Many successful SDRs and BDRs don't have degrees. We show you how to position yourself based on results and character, not credentials.
Actual templates. You get word-for-word scripts, a proven CV template, and a day-by-day action plan. This isn't fluff—it's the exact playbook we used and taught to others who landed roles at top companies.
Email us within 7 days and we'll refund you. No questions asked. We're confident this will help you, but if it doesn't deliver value, you shouldn't pay for it.
