Pros

Starting at Flockjay I did not know what to expect, or that I would learn much. I was incredibly blown away by how much I learned from the amazing trainers and staff. I also got to meet top performing AE's, SDR's, CEO's, and other leaders within the tech sphere. I walked away knowing how to: -Work Inbound (Warm) Leads -Conduct Outbound (Cold) Cadences -Professionally communicate via phone, and how to really leave a voicemail -Write professional emails -Create buyer personas to penetrate target accounts -Schedule meetings with a purpose -Use Salesloft -Use Salesforce -Use calendly, Zoom, Workramp, and Google Suite I also got killer insights on creating a professional LinkedIn, building a strong resume, and how to interview (with the recruiter, hiring manager, and the VP/decision maker). As if that wasn't enough, I developed bonds with my classmates that far exceeded those I have had in other jobs or at university.

Cons

This is a HARD program because you HAVE TO PUSH YOURSELF to get out of your comfort zone. You have to be dedicated to showing up, contributing to the group projects, and to working independently on homework. The results are so worth it. They introduce you to at least 3 companies they are partnered with, so you have a warm introduction for interviewing. They ALSO offer you ongoing support beyond class if you apply for jobs outside of their network. I would 10/10 do the class again, and highly recommend it for anyone that is seeking to develop networking and sales skills.

Pros

Our CEO is a truly people first leader with a very high EQ. The broader team has a super tight connection across all teams, and everyone is firing on all cylinders. The tech takes a unique approach to helping modern GTM teams up-level execution and as a former sales rep, leader and GTM exec, it's clear there is a major opportunity ahead. We also offer competitive pay, benefits and as we're rapidly growing, you'll find an environment focused on coaching with upward career mobility.

Cons

We're a startup and naturally that drives a lot fast paced, multi-hat wearing responsibilities. That's not for everyone

Pros

I was looking to change the industry that I worked in. I have worked in sales for about 19 years now, never in tech. Flockjay gave me the skills and foundation for tech sales to build on what I knew. -10-week program / M-Th / 3 hrs a night 5-8PST I had no issue with the course changing the format from 12 weeks to 10 weeks. As working professionals desiring to get jump-started in a new career, the more compact and efficient the program, the better. -Learning from current leaders in the industry The program is training for a Sales Development Representative. The instructors have all been in this role previously, and are able to deliver the ins and outs of what is expected of the role and how to perform at the highest degree. -Insightful Fireside Chats Talks with Tech industry professionals, giving you an inside look to their career trajectories and how you can grow your career into what you want it to be. -It's a lot of work. Take it seriously. You get out what you put in. -Knowledge to hit the ground running. Just like in any job transition, nothing falls into your lap. However, you are equipped with the tools to conduct an efficient job search and position yourself as a desirable candidate. I received an offer within a month of graduating.

Cons

-Outcomes/ Job Placement was slow in communicating This is one of the most important things on everyone's mind when starting the program. Having an idea of how the process works from the beginning will assist in managing everyone's expectations.
