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