Employer job description
From SV Academy's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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.
Requirements
- Required Qualifications: Interest in starting a career in tech sales (SDR/BDR roles)
- Comfort with cold calling and outbound outreach
- Willingness and ability to learn common SDR tools such as CRM systems (Salesforce or HubSpot), sales engagement platforms (Outreach or Salesloft), prospecting tools (ZoomInfo), dialers, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator
- Interest in working in a tech sales context within Information Technology and Services
- Experience in a customer-facing role requiring strong written and verbal communication skills
- Professional proficiency in English
- Authorization to work in the United States
Benefits
- Comprehensive training through a 2-week bootcamp to build foundational tech sales skills
- Paid 90-day residency with an employer partner, offering real-world SDR experience
- Hybrid work environment in the Chicago area with opportunities for in-person collaboration
- Professional development and mentorship from experienced sales leaders
- Potential for full-time placement with partner companies upon successful completion of the program
- Access to a supportive alumni network and ongoing career resources
- Paid time off and holidays in accordance with local standards
- Health insurance and retirement benefits aligned with industry norms for entry-level roles
