Let's get you
into tech sales.

Built specifically for Daniyal — 24, entrepreneur, brand-new to tech.
Start Here

First — what are we even talking about?

You found out what an SDR was yesterday. That's totally fine. By the end of this you'll talk about it like you've been in it for years. Here's the 60-second version.

What is an SDR?

SDR = Sales Development Representative. It's the front door into the tech industry. Your job is simple to understand: reach out to potential customers (calls, emails, LinkedIn) and book meetings for the senior salespeople. You don't close deals yet — you create opportunities.

You don't need a college degree. You don't need a tech background. Companies hire SDRs for energy, coachability, and hustle — three things you already have as a guy running a rental business and mentoring in real estate.

The Money

$60–90K

Realistic year-one total pay (base + commission) for an SDR. Top performers hit six figures fast — and that's just the entry role.

The Freedom

Remote

Most SDR roles are remote or hybrid. You keep your car rental business and your real estate work running on the side. Tech doesn't ask you to give up your hustle — it funds it.

The Skill

Forever

Learning to sell software is the highest-leverage skill in business. Once you have it, you can sell anything, build anything, and never be unemployable again.

Decode the lingo

You'll hear these words constantly. Here's your cheat-sheet so none of it sounds foreign in an interview:

SDR — Sales Development Rep. Books meetings. Your entry role.

AE — Account Executive. Runs demos and closes deals. Your next step up.

SE — Sales Engineer. The technical expert on the deal.

Pipeline — all the potential deals you're working at once.

Base — your guaranteed salary, no matter what.

Commission — extra pay you earn for hitting your goals.

OTE — On-Target Earnings = base + commission if you hit quota. The "real" number.

Quota — your target. Ramp — your first months, where the target is lower while you learn.

The Real Stack

The tools you'll actually learn

Tech sales runs on a specific toolkit. You'll walk into interviews able to talk about these like you've used them — and they double as the keywords recruiters scan resumes for.

CRMs

Salesforce & HubSpot — where every contact, deal, and note lives. The system of record for all of sales.

Sales Engagement

Outreach & Salesloft — the platforms that run your call/email sequences so you reach hundreds of prospects.

Prospecting

LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo & Apollo — how you find the right people and their contact info.

Dialers

Aircall, Orum and similar — the phone tools that let you make cold calls at real volume.

Conversation Intel

Gong & Chorus — record and analyze calls so you can coach yourself and improve fast.

The Workflow

How they all fit together day-to-day — so on day one of the job you're productive, not lost clicking around.

The Honest Roadmap

What landing this job actually takes

I'm not going to sugarcoat it — and that's exactly why you want a coach. Breaking in is a numbers game with a lot of interviews. Here's the real shape of it, and where I plug in.

Month 1

Foundation & Positioning

Tech-sales crash course so you actually understand the game. Rebuild your LinkedIn and resume to look like an SDR companies want to hire. Build your target list of companies that are hiring.

Month 2

Reps & Readiness

Mock interviews, mock cold-calls, role-plays. We drill the behavioral questions and the "sell me this pen" moments until they're automatic. We start applying and lining up first-round interviews.

Month 3+

The Gauntlet & the Close

Now the interviews come. I prep you before each one and debrief after each one. When the offer lands, I coach you through the negotiation so you don't leave money on the table.

Set your expectations — the interview gauntlet

~5–6 companies 1–2 rounds each ~15+ total interview rounds Finals can run 4 deep

That's a lot of swings — and most people quit somewhere in the middle, alone and discouraged. You won't be alone. Every single round, I'm prepping you going in and debriefing you coming out. The volume is exactly why a coach who's been doing this for years is worth it — I keep you sharp and confident across all of them until one says yes.

Real Talk

What I need from you

I'll give you everything — the playbook, the prep, the network, the hours. But I can't want it more than you do. This works when you hold up your end:

Put in the reps

Plan on real hours every week — applying, practicing calls, running the drills. The work between our sessions is where the job actually gets won.

Show up & be coachable

Be at every session, on time, ready to work. Take the feedback even when it stings. The fastest learners get hired the fastest.

Embrace the "no"s

You'll get rejected — a lot — before the yes. Don't take it personally and don't quit at round 8. That's just the game.

Be honest with me

Tell me when you're stuck, nervous, or behind. I can only fix what I know about. No ego, no hiding — we're a team.

Do that, and I'll get you there. I've done it before, and a majority of my circle is living proof it works.

Two Ways To Work Together

Pick your level of support

Same goal in both — get you hired. The difference is how hands-on we get: you run it yourself with my full playbook and a monthly check-in, or we work through it together in my office every single week. Pay in full, or monthly across the engagement.

Yours To Keep

What you walk away owning

This isn't a few pep talks and good vibes. By the end you'll own a complete, reusable toolkit — assets that keep working long after you've signed the offer.

Your Story, Sharpened

A recruiter-ready LinkedIn and an SDR-targeted resume that turn "24, entrepreneur, new to tech" into "driven closer they'd be lucky to hire."

The Script Vault

Cold-call scripts, outreach email templates, interview answer frameworks, and objection cheat-sheets. Copy, paste, adapt — forever.

Your Target List

A curated list of companies actually hiring SDRs, the angle for each, and how to get in front of the recruiter.

Interview Playbook

The exact questions you'll face at every stage and word-for-word frameworks to answer them without freezing up.

The Sales Skillset

Cold-calling, discovery, objection handling, closing — the skills that land this job and pay you for the next 20 years.

A Coach In Your Corner

Someone who's done this, answers when you text, and genuinely wants you to win. That relationship doesn't expire when you sign.

The Honest Comparison

Why this beats a $5–6K course

Guys like Jack Knight and Samir charge $5,000–$6,000 for their programs. They're good marketers. But here's the actual difference in what you get — and why I'm worth it at a lower price.

A $5–6K Online Course

  • Pre-recorded videos you watch alone
  • One-to-many — you're 1 of hundreds in a Slack
  • Generic templates, not tailored to you
  • You face the 15 interview rounds by yourself
  • No one prepping you for your specific interviewer
  • No one in the room when the offer comes
  • Online-only — you're never in the same room as your coach
  • Pay $5–6K up front

Working 1-on-1 With Me

  • Live, real-time coaching built around you
  • One-to-one — my full attention, fast replies
  • Everything tailored: your story, your companies, your rounds
  • I prep you before AND debrief you after every round
  • I've been actively doing this for years — and I've helped friends & family break in
  • I coach you through the negotiation when the offer lands
  • Up to $1K–$2K less than the courses — because you're my friend and I want you to win
Proof, Not Promises

What I've done for others

I'm not a guru who broke in once and made a course about it. I'm 5 years into tech sales, I've already walked friends and family down this exact path, and a majority of my circle is in the game — so I'm not just coaching you, I'm plugged into the network you're trying to join.

A Proven Path, Not a Theory

The friends and family I've coached all landed real tech-sales roles in the $85K–$100K OTE range. This is the same playbook I'm handing you — it's been run, and it works.

I'm Plugged Into the Network

Most of my circle is already in tech. That means warm intros, insider intel on who's hiring, and referrals — and a referral gets your resume seen while 200 cold applicants get ignored.

The Math

Why even the top tier is a no-brainer

$4,000
Your one-time investment (Concierge)

Average year-one tech-sales placement salary
~5%
What you invested vs. what you earn in year one

And that's just year one. The negotiation coaching alone can win you $3K–$10K more in base salary — paying the whole thing back before your first day. And because I prep you round-by-round in person, you move faster: every interview sharpens the next, so you land sooner — and stronger. This isn't a cost. It's the cheapest career you'll ever buy your way into.

The Bigger Picture

This is an on-ramp, not a destination

You already think like a builder — real estate mentorship, a car rental business at 24. Tech sales doesn't replace that. It funds it. A remote income, a skill that compounds, a network of operators, and the freedom to keep building your own things on the side.

The SDR job is just rung one. Here's where the ladder goes:

Year 1
SDR
$60–90K · learn the game
Year 2–3
Account Executive
$120–200K · you close now
Year 3–5
Senior AE / Lead
$200–300K+
Anytime
Build Your Own
Freedom · skill funds the vision
Real Questions

Things you're probably wondering

I'm brand new and don't know anything about tech. Is that a problem?

No — it's the whole point of working with me. Companies hire SDRs because they're new and coachable. I'll teach you everything from zero: the lingo, the roles, the tools, how the industry works. You won't walk into an interview confused — you'll walk in sounding like you belong.

How long until I actually land a job?

The program runs about 3 months — enough time to get you ready and walk with you through the whole interview gauntlet. Honestly, expect to interview at 5–6 companies with multiple rounds each — often 15+ total rounds before an offer. I stay with you through all of it — most of all on Concierge, where we meet weekly in person and prep every round together. The people who quit are the ones doing it alone. You won't be.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes. Both options can be split into monthly payments across the 3 months — The Playbook as 3×~$667, Concierge as 3×~$1,333. We'll pick whatever fits your cash flow.

Why are you cheaper than Jack Knight or Samir?

Two reasons. One — they sell a course to hundreds of people at once; I'm working with you, one-on-one. Two — you're my friend, and I'd rather you win and tell people than squeeze you on price. You're getting more personal attention for less money.

Can I keep my rental business and real estate work going?

Absolutely — and you should. Most SDR roles are remote or hybrid. Tech sales is designed to coexist with your other hustles. The income and the skill make everything else you're building easier.

What if I don't get the first offer I interview for?

You almost certainly won't — and that's normal. This is a volume game. Every "no" is a rep that makes the next interview sharper. That's exactly why per-round prep and debriefs matter: we turn every rejection into an upgrade until one turns into "you're hired."

From Yes To Started

How we kick this off

No complicated onboarding. Once you pick your option, here's exactly what happens:

Step 1

Tell me "The Playbook" or "Concierge." A deposit (or your first monthly payment) holds your spot and sets your start date.

Step 2

Kickoff call

We sit down, map your goals, and I learn your story so I can position you. You'll leave knowing exactly what week one looks like.

Step 3

We get to work

LinkedIn and resume rebuild first, then straight into the playbook. From there it's heads-down together until you're hired.
