Sales Bootcamp
Cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing sectors in the already high-growth software sales industry.Cybersecurity professionals tend to have some of the highest compensation packages and longest tenures in tech sales.
On paper, it's an opportunity everybody in tech sales should be chasing. The reality looks quite different.There is a big barrier to entry. The sales cycles are extremely demanding on all fronts − technical expertise, strategic thinking and executive presence.The customers are distrustful of the vendors. Even flagship products tend to suffer from significant vulnerabilities or outages, often resulting in significant loss of what previously looked like "committed revenue."Cybersecurity is the toughest industry a tech sales professional can work in. It's also one of the few sectors that can be considered mandatory in order for most things in our daily lives to keep working.This bootcamp is a joint collaboration between several professionals in the field who deeply care about the industry and wanted to create "the impossible" − a single overview that would get both newbies and existing cybersecurity professionals to take the next step in their careers.

The pressure, the risks, the technical complexity, it all makes it a deeply unwelcoming space for newcomers.The only way in is trough sheer will, grit and competence.

I've written extensively on the topic but this is the first time it all comes together in one overview.
