POV: your persuasive school friend becomes rich

“Wait… talking to people can pay THIS much?”

Career schools don’t talk about:

TECH SALES 📞💻

AKA:

getting paid to convince companies to buy stuff.

No medicine degree.

No law school.

No coding needed.

Just:

✅ confidence

✅ resilience

✅ fast thinking

✅ persuasion

If rejection ruins your day…

this is NOT for you 😭

But if you love winning?

This career is kinda insane.

... Read moreOne of the most surprising aspects about tech sales is just how accessible it is for students and young professionals who don’t have a traditional college degree in STEM or business. I remember when I first heard about tech sales—like the article mentions, it’s essentially about convincing companies to purchase software or products through genuine persuasion and communication skills. What really stands out to me is the fact that it requires no coding, no complex qualifications—just people skills and the ability to handle rejection without losing motivation. Tech sales reps play a vital role in connecting innovative tech solutions to businesses, often acting as the first contact point that can open doors to huge deals. From my own experience, practicing your pitch on simple things around you (like apps classmates use daily) is a great way to build confidence early on. The idea of pitching a product in under 30 seconds and refining your message based on feedback is very practical and prepares you for real-world challenges. Salary-wise, fresh graduates in tech sales can start at surprisingly high pay levels, sometimes even exceeding traditional professions, and with experience, earnings can scale dramatically. The resilience to handle rejection and maintaining a positive, fast-thinking mindset cannot be overstated—it’s a true test of personal grit. For students still in school or university, exploring tech sales early can be a game changer. Many career paths emphasize getting to top universities but neglect the hands-on experience and understanding of emerging fields like tech sales which are booming worldwide. The tech sales field also offers abundant opportunities to learn about psychology, persuasion, and negotiation, which are highly transferable skills across industries. Overall, if you’re someone who thrives on social interactions, loves a challenge, and can handle rejection, tech sales might be a career path worth seriously considering. It’s less talked about in typical career talks but offers immense potential for financial success and personal development. Starting to refine your sales pitch and understanding client needs early can put you on the fast track to a rewarding career in this exciting sector.

Inspired by his discipline, hurt by his actions 🤕
My bf ( Now, ex) once said, “I worked hard to become the chairperson of VJCO.” I do agree with that. I was a vice-chairperson of my CCA back in secondary school, and I also worked hard to earn that position. My CCA teachers trusted me, saw how much I grew, and believed in me as a leader.
