The posting

Break Into Tech Sales — No Experience Needed

If you’ve been trying to get your foot in the door but keep hearing “you need experience first”… this is for you.

We’re hiring driven, curious individuals ready to start a career in tech sales as a Business Development Representative (BDR). Whether you’re coming from retail, teaching, hospitality, admin, or something completely different—what matters most is your mindset, not your resume.

You don't pay us. We pay you.

SV Academy is hiring Business Development Representatives. Free sales training, a 90-day paid Residency at $2,500/month plus 100% commission, then transfer to a partner company's payroll at $65,000 - $95,000 with full benefits.

No tuition. No loans. No deferred-income agreement. We're paid out of the hiring budget the partner was already going to spend — which is why this costs you nothing.

Cohorts begin every week and are limited to 25 Residents. Apply early to be considered for the next available start date.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Reaching out to potential customers through calls, emails, and LinkedIn
  • Learning how to communicate value—not just pitch
  • Booking meetings for senior sales reps
  • Using tools like Salesforce, Outreach, and SalesLoft
  • Building confidence in conversations, objection handling, and problem-solving

What You’ll Gain:

  • Real, in-demand sales experience from day one
  • Ongoing coaching and support (not just a one-week onboarding)
  • A clear path into long-term roles in tech
  • Exposure to fast-growing companies and real sales environments

Who This Is For:

  • You’re early in your career or making a career switch
  • You’re coachable, resilient, and willing to learn
  • You don’t need a “perfect background”—you just need to be motivated
  • You want a role where effort actually translates into growth and opportunity

If you’re tired of being overlooked because you don’t have traditional experience, this is your chance to change that.

Compensation at Each Stage

  • Days 1–10 — Free sales training. No tuition, no fee, no debt. Live, instructor-led training on Zoom, Monday through Thursday, 6–9 pm (ET or PT).
  • Days 11–100 — Paid Residency. $2,500/month base + 100% of the commissions you earn. You'll be a W-2 employee of SV Academy, embedded at a partner company.
  • Day 100 onward — Transfer to the partner's payroll. $65,000 - $95,000 in total annual compensation (base + commission). Full health, dental, vision, and retirement benefits begin the day you transfer.

About SV Academy

Since 2017, we've placed more than 6,000 people into full-time tech sales careers and worked with 400+ employer partners across SaaS, AI, fintech, cybersecurity, and other high-growth verticals.

Led by CEO Michael Colonnese, a 15+ year veteran of workforce development focused on building debt-free pathways into tech careers.

Our partners pay us. You don't. That's the entire business model.

Who Tends to Succeed Here

No prior sales experience required. We hire people who are competitive and motivated by clear goals, comfortable on the phone (including cold calls), coachable, resilient, and strong communicators.

If you've worked in retail, hospitality, customer service, fundraising, fitness instruction, teaching, or any role where you spent your day talking to people and meeting goals — you already have the foundation to be excellent at this.

  • Full-time availability during the 100-day program
  • Legal authorization to work in the country where this role is posted
  • Strong written and verbal English communication
  • Available for evening training sessions (Mon–Thu, 6–9 pm EDT) during the first 2 weeks
  • Located in or able to reliably commute to the partner site (the Residency portion is hybrid)

Requirements

Required Qualifications:

  • Interest in starting a career in tech sales (SDR/BDR roles)
  • Comfort with cold calling and outbound outreach
  • Willingness and ability to learn common SDR tools such as CRM systems (Salesforce or HubSpot), sales engagement platforms (Outreach or Salesloft), prospecting tools (ZoomInfo), dialers, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator
  • Interest in working in a tech sales context within Information Technology and Services
  • Experience in a customer-facing role requiring strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Professional proficiency in English
  • Authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship

Benefits

  • Comprehensive 2-week online bootcamp training
  • Paid 3-month residency with an employer partner
  • Remote work environment
  • Exposure to leading technology companies and sales teams
  • Professional development and mentorship opportunities
  • Supportive community and network of peers

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
