CourseCareers

I found CourseCareers after applying to 80+ jobs and getting minimal traction. Even though we are in a proclaimed employee market, without a warm introduction it is still difficult to get the exposure you are looking for. After looking through several very expensive options I found CourseCareers. 

Troy and his team do not require massive amount of money but offer the same level of education and opportunity for their students. The course is effective for individuals with no experience or education but also for for individuals like me. I have both a College Degree and several years of experience in Financial Technology Recruitment/Sales. The course allowed me to brush up on my previous skills and expand them as well. 

I viewed several options for courses that you only have to pay their 10,000+ fee upon successful placement in a company with certain pay requirements. The team at CourseCareers requires a $500 upfront and get the rest of their pay from the actual companies they are placing with. This implied two important things to me. 

1. 500 dollars for a 10,000 dollar education is a no brainer, even if you are taking as a refresher course on your Sales skills that price tag is well worth it. 
2. The companies Troy and team works with are invested in CourseCareers supplying excellent talent. The team is looking out for the unemployed or those seeking new opportunities and was able to convince the companies on their docker that the talent supplied is worth them paying for it. This represents superior selling and business development skills in the CourseCareers team that you will be learning from. 

Even if you are only looking to find out if this is the right career path for you, the upfront cost is minimal and the amount you will take away from it is equal if not greater than the $10,000+ courses you will find elsewhere. 

P.S. I was pleasantly surprised with some of the names on the CourseCareers business list, all of which you are pretty much guaranteed an interview with. 

If you're looking to get into tech sales, take this course and you'll get there. Overall the experience was great. with CourseCareers you get an entire course you can go through at your leisure or as fast as you want. You get an active community and 1 on 1 communication with Troy (the course creator). There are partner companies with multiple tech sales positions you can apply to, and Troy even goes over a rigorous process of how to apply to companies yourself. If you're looking to get into tech sales, take this course and you'll get there.

What is it that makes CourseCareers stand out?  It is the support, hands down.  Troy's willingness to engage and help his students is honestly profound.  A lot of programs talk a big game about supporting and helping their students, but I have yet to find a program that actually offers the support they brag about.  Troy, on the other hand, delivers on his promises.

The course itself lays out pretty much everything you need to know to succeed in an SDR role.  The books Troy has chosen from the curriculum are excellent and should be read by any person thinking about entering the sales industry.  The course material itself dives into specific tools you may be expected to use and gives a great preview of what to expect.  

The biggest and most important part of CourseCareers is the support though.  I talk to Troy a few times a week and I honestly have no idea how he has the time to fit me in his busy schedule, but he somehow does!  After graduation, he helped me through the interview process and continued to include me in the weekly chat with other students, which is not only fun but is also very educational.  CourseCareers is really building a community that is great to be involved with.

Oh yeah, you're probably wondering, does this lead to a job?  The answer is yes!  There are full-time job opportunities as well as internships.   I was fortunate to land a full-time job due to my past sales experience, but I would encourage people to highly consider the internship opportunities to continue their learning experience and be involved with high-quality firms.  For people who are nervous about cold calling, this is an excellent place to begin.  These positions are also paid, and a great way to figure out if a career in sales is really for you.  

Find out you're not a fit for the sales industry?  No worries, you got paid in an internship and still got to learn valuable skills for a price tag that is minuscule in comparison to other programs.  These skills you learned with also be transferable to other career fields outside of sales.   

Yes, you can watch Youtube videos or find a LinkedIn mentor, but the support you get with CourseCareers is unmatched.  The fact you can go through the course at your own pace is also a major benefit, but I encourage people to move quickly because after completing the course Troy will have you lined up for interviews very quickly, so be ready to interview!  

I've done my research, I've done my homework, I've taken plenty of other sales training..... CourseCareers is the best value you will find.

I enrolled in this program to pick up sales as a skill. It's a skill that is universally applicable to anyone, regardless of whether they intend to go into sales (tech sales specifically for this course). I work in marketing, so understanding sales is something that helps me with my current role. Moreover, I realized that much of the sales process and frameworks can be applied to actually landing a job and connecting with people you want to connect with to further your career or whatever you want to pursue in your life. Learning the sales process is a game changer for approaching the interview process and understanding how to communicate effectively to demonstrate the value you add in the job marketplace. On top of all of that, the CEO of the company goes above and beyond to help his students in the program. He genuinely cares about your success, and wants you to succeed. CourseCareers offers the skillset and a nearly guaranteed job placement for graduates of the program, so it's a win-win situation as long as you are willing to put in the time to learn the skill and practice it. If you have even an ounce of interest in enrolling in the program, do so. You have nothing to lose with the 14 day moneyback guarantee. See for yourself if sales is for you.  

I've been wanting to get into the tech industry, and careers like IT and Data Analysis have been peaking my interest, but I didn't really know where or how to start. I found Josh Madakor on YouTube and saw he had an IT course. I started the course a few weeks ago, and I've been very satisfied with my learning experience so far. I still have much to learn, but I feel like I have a better understanding of how computers and other devices work. I highly recommend this course for anyone new to IT like myself.
