The 2019 CBRE Tech Talent Report ranked Austin as the sixth-best market in the US for tech talent. However, the report also found that despite the growth of the US market, there are not enough tech workers to meet demand, leading to slowed job creation, higher labor costs, and increased competition to attract and retain talent. “Levelset is committed to supporting the rapid growth in Austin tech through our Sales Academy – a unique program designed to train the talent that the city really needs,” said Martin Roth, Vice President of Revenue.
“Through the Levelset Sales Academy, we are putting ourselves in a position to hire people who may not have the software sales experience we usually require,” said John Weirich, Sales Enablement Manager at Levelset. “If people have the passion we are looking for, we know we can provide the resources and training they need to be successful.” Whether candidates are experienced sales professionals, just starting out, or pivoting in their career, the Levelset Sales Academy will give participants thorough training in the entire software-as-a-service (SaaS) sales cycle. Additionally, participants will:
- Have direct access to executive leadership in a successful high-growth startup
- Gain exposure to a rapidly scaling business, including learning sessions on growth strategy, fundraising, establishing a strong brand and defining the customer experience
- Work in a purpose-driven business environment
- Have rapid career progression opportunities
