Why did we create The Sales Network?

Selling software is one of the best paid career paths you can take in 2024.

Software sales reps consistently rank in the top 10% of earners, often making more in a year than doctors, lawyers or even investment bankers.

Sound too good to be true?

It isn’t. 

But there is always more to the story.

The industry just went trough brutal 18 months, with at least 260k layoffs in 2023 alone. January'24 was not much better, with 32k positions lost (the highest monthly number since March'23).

Many companies are completely rethinking their GTM approach, focusing on sales productivity and coverage for consumption-driven business models. In practice that means that hiring for sales roles has been limited and is not likely to have the same type of explosive growth we saw in the past.

Not only that, but with profitability becoming a key metric on the mind of most CFOs, there are a lot more discussions internally on whether companies are overpaying for their sales teams.

From our point of view, there is an extraordinary opportunity ahead of us in the industry. We also think that it will be difficult for most to actually benefit from it.

The best way to increase your odds of success are:

1. Identify the best job opportunities and get hired in the right companies.
2. Improve your soft skills and mindset, with a strong focus on what you say and how you sound.
3. Adopt sales strategies and process that is proven to drive sales cycles to closure.
4. Understand the industry deeper and extend your network of like-minded peers beyond the places you've worked before.
5. Get a deeper understanding of how to plan and progress your sales career over the next growth years, helping you achieve your personal financial goals.
