The moves in a sales career

Each one comes with my take on what changes, what to read, and what to try.

  1. Breaking into sales

    Land your first sales role and get through the first 90 days.

  2. SDR → Account Executive

    You've been booking meetings. Now you have to win them.

  3. AE → Enterprise AE

    Bigger deals, longer cycles, more people in the room.

  4. AE → First-time manager

    Your number is now your team's number.

  5. Manager → Sales leader

    From running a team to building the system.
