What was your journey into a career in Tech Sales

I was always in sales & then I got obsessed with Saas , tech & great products. Thats how I landed a role in the product team at motive , worked as a product specialist level 1, level 2, level 3 , transitioned into a Customer Success role & then I transitioned into tech sales.

What would you say are the best things about working in Tech Sales

For me it's learning the product, along with flexible work schedule & remote perks. i have been working remotely since 2018 & couldn't be more productive & happier.

What advice would you give to someone who is just about to start their career in sales

Be coachable, trust the process, find a great mentor.

Why did you decide to join Tangent as a Mentor and why should others join as Mentors too
