Technology is a huge industry with high-paying entry level jobs and excellent opportunities for growth.

Why Tech Sales?
As organizations worldwide shift to digital and cloud-based services, the demand for technological solutions to everyday business problems is higher than ever. And as this technology rapidly evolves, it is essential that organizations keep pace with these innovations in order to remain competitive.
Top companies are seeking driven, talented sales professionals who understand the ins and outs of these emerging technologies while having strong interpersonal skills to close the deal. Tech salespeople add incredible value to their teams by bridging the gap between highly technical jargon and compelling communication techniques in order to meet customer needs. These essential roles can pay an average of $69,000 per year, and there are millions of job opportunities out there for those with a passion for tech and strong customer service abilities (Source: Glassdoor).

Flockjay is amazing. I have 17 years of sales experience and I still learned a ton. It was even better than I expected. Their sales training is the best I have ever had. They provide a tremendous amount of support during class and even after graduation. The program and the staff are wonderful. I learned a lot about interviewing and my skills have greatly improved from their training. They also help you find a job and coach you through interviews.
