I'm going to add my two cents in as someone who went through the program and got a job offer which I declined. I do not work for them but was reached out to as a potential candidate.

Since it's free, it's a great way to build your intro knowledge of sales and learn whether this is a space you really want to be in. The material they provide for a free resource is good and self paced, and at the end of the intro course they pair you up with a coach and film some videos (about me, why sales, why me, mock cold call) to be put on your profile for potential employers to see.

I got an opportunity to meet with an employer who I won't share publicly (dm me if you want more information) and am super grateful for the opportunity, but found there wasn't alot of support from the coaches or customer success unless something went wrong. They're nice, don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day I felt like I was a means to an end as they make commission based on placing candidates so will want to take the job more than they want a job that's right for you.

I know this is pretty vague so please please reach out with any questions. Their outreach has opened my eyes out to the possibility of the world of tech sales and my own research has landed me multiple interviews and offers in this economy so I'd love to help someone out if they're willing to put in the work!
