A note on this page: every company we track is a software or
tech-adjacent company, so this page isn't a filtered subset — it's the whole board.
We'd rather say that than pretend a "tech" toggle is doing work behind the scenes.
What tech sales actually means
Tech sales is selling software, infrastructure or technical services to other
businesses, nearly always on a subscription. Three things make it different from
most other sales work. The buying decision involves several people rather than one
— a champion, an economic buyer, usually security and procurement. The cycle runs
weeks to quarters instead of a single conversation. And the product changes
underneath you often enough that staying current is part of the job rather than
an occasional training day.
Those constraints are also why it pays what it does. You're compensated for
managing a long, multi-threaded process where most of the work is coordination and
most of the risk is a deal quietly stalling.
The roles and how they fit together
SDRs and BDRs generate and qualify pipeline.
Account Executives run deals and close them.
Sales Engineers own the technical
evaluation alongside the AE — demos, integration scoping, the security
questionnaire. Account Managers and
Customer Success own the relationship after signature,
including renewal and expansion, which at most subscription companies is a larger
revenue line than new business. RevOps builds the
systems, forecasting and reporting the rest of the team runs on.
The usual progression is SDR into AE, then either up into
sales leadership or sideways into larger,
more complex accounts. Sideways is often the better-paid move and is consistently
underrated.
How to break in
The standard route is an entry level SDR seat,
which most companies hire without prior sales experience. The faster and less
crowded route, if you have any technical background at all, is a Sales Engineer or
solutions role — technical depth is scarcer than sales polish, and companies will
happily teach the selling half to someone who can already read an API doc.
You don't need to be technical for AE and SDR work. What you need is to explain a
technical product in plain language to someone who isn't technical either, which is
a genuinely different skill and one that engineers often find harder than
salespeople do. Many of these roles are also
available remotely, which widens the set of
companies you can realistically join.
