Sales. I have a computer science degree and learned software development isn't for me so I'm switching to sales this year.

I'm looking forward to having both the technical skills and sales skills under my belt.

I've been in sales 15 years now. Check out these resources and they will give you a GREAT foundation:

Read the challenger sale: https://www.amazon.com/Challenger-Sale-Control-Customer-Conv...

and read SPIN selling: https://www.amazon.com/SPIN-Selling-Neil-Rackham/dp/00705111...

Listen to the advanced selling podcast: https://advancedsellingpodcast.com/

Cheers

Thanks for the tips! I read and enjoyed SPIN Selling.

I love podcasts so I'll give that a listen.

Any time. The podcast is an excellent way to really understand what the sales profession is about.
