[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] You get this job by selling successfully as an individual contributor. No one will hire a sales leader who hasn't first successfully sold. --earning this amount in Tech Sales as a technical expert[/quote] +1 There was a time that ediscovery vendors and legal recruiting companies would hand out the VP title just for a JD, but that's over since the market is over-saturated with JDs. You need to get in and show you can sell before you're going to advance now. Lobby to sit on panels at professional conferences and webinars for more visibility.[/quote]
