Career Change to $106k+ SDR Job at Rippling

I was managing a large territory at Pepsi, leading 14 reps and overseeing $11M in annual revenue, but I was completely drained. I had always wanted to break into tech sales but didn’t know where to start or how to stand out. Between the workload and long hours, I didn’t have time to waste figuring it out on my own. I needed something that was structured, tactical, and efficient, which is exactly what Higher Levels provided. The content was straightforward and gave me the clarity to take action fast.

The cold call training and AI practice tool were game changers. I failed several final interviews before realizing I wasn’t asking the right questions or handling brush-offs correctly. After practicing with the simulator, I finally nailed the Rippling cold call exercise. It taught me how to uncover pain points instead of just pitching features, like diagnosing a problem before prescribing a solution. That shift in mindset made all the difference. The workbook also helped me stay organized and target companies that actually aligned with my goals.

Don’t try to do it alone. I used to think volume was everything and applied to over 300 jobs for my first sales role, but this time I slowed down, followed the process, and focused on quality connections. The frameworks in this course helped me network strategically, get multiple final-round interviews, and land my dream role at Rippling. If you’re serious about changing careers, invest in yourself and commit fully. This program works if you work it.
