[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does one break into sales? I'm a lawyer 3 years out of law school and hate the 'head down' booksmart nature of the work. I previously worked in marketing but the pay was abysmal. How do I make myself a good candidate for a VP-type sales position, what experience do I need?[/quote]

Do you have any sales experience? You're not going to get that kind of job unless you already have solid knowledge of the industry in which you'd be selling and can demonstrate a strong performance history.[/quote]

Pp, I understand that. I'm asking what kind of experience one needs to lay the foundation. [/quote]

Use your skills to learn new technologies, like AWS, then get a job.  Willingness to learn and keep learning is important.  You can earn that amount as PP said as a technical expert to the sales staff and then eventually move into sales.[/quote]

Or not. The technical expert gig is way better than the sales gig in my opinion. Yes I probably work just as hard as the sales folks I support and when that big deal closes they get paid way more. But I'll take my safe $200k and never worry about getting fired for not making my number thanks very much!![/quote]
