That career you’re looking for could be in B2B tech sales, and it’s one of the fastest growing areas of employment growth in Canada. B2B sales means business-to-business sales. It means reaching out to businesses who are already looking for simple solutions to their tech problems. Right now, there aren’t enough talented people selling the tech that Canadian businesses need.

A career in tech sales makes it easy to move up the ladder and make a good living.
B2B tech sales isn’t about building complicated technology from the ground up. It’s about making connections between people, and the products and services they need. People with great so-called “soft-skills” are the kind of people building the future right now in B2B sales. These are the skills you’ll find in the hospitality industry, and in other customer-facing occupations, from servers and bartenders, to receptionists and customer support workers.
SalesCamp is a 6-week, hands-on, career transition program designed to show you the practical skills and mindset you need to succeed in a sales role. It’s designed for professionals looking to make a career change or those transitioning into their first sales job with no prior tech sales experience.
SalesCamp’s core experience includes five days of intensive, online synchronous classes from 9 am to 5 pm. Sessions include lectures, learning laboratories, sales challenges, industry panels, and networking opportunities with business partners ready to hire. You get hands-on experience with B2B technical sales best practices and proven methodologies. Our goal is to help you succeed by providing the tools, training and resources you need. It will help you redefine your mindset and learn the practices that are required to be effective as a member of a selling team.
We’ll also work with you to find the right professional job placement in your area and make you qualified to work as a tech sales rep with our rapidly expanding employment partner network across the country. The SalesCamp experience goes above and beyond a simple job training program, with four weeks of career skills training and job search coaching that includes two career-focused seminars per week, as well as weekly check-ins with Palette staff and your accountability partners. It’s a cohort-driven experience that centers on a community of support that goes beyond SalesCamp into a thriving alumni network.
