Getting a good sales development role requires a combination of knowledge, skills and contacts.  Today’s Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are notorious for rejecting qualified candidates.  The purpose of our advocacy is to help you get past the ATS and to secure an interview.

Advocacy is a form of endorsement. If you pass our certification exam, we are comfortable endorsing you as a candidate for entry level Sales Development roles. The specifics of how we advocate for you in included in the Detailed Advocacy document.

First, you must prepare to pass the exam.  You can do this on your own or use our AI training prompts.  Second, after passing the exam, you must prepare yourself for the job search process.  This includes updating your resume and profile to meet industry best practices and preparing yourself for interviews.  Lastly, you must own the search process.  We will help advocate for you, but your job pursuit success is in your hands.

We guarantee that if you pass our exam, you are qualified to interview for most entry level sales development roles.  We can’t guarantee that you will get a job or even get specific interviews.  We can tip the scales in your favor by advocating for you to increase your chances of getting a chance to land your dream job.

ATS systems typically reject candidates because of formatting mismatches and because key words are not found on the resume.  We recommend that you customize your resume every time you apply for a new job.  AI tools like ChatGPT make that customization very easy.
