I have a software development background and am very interested in software sales, but it's been surprisingly hard to make the transition. I can't make it past a resume screen at most places. And coming from a development background, not a lot of my connections are in sales. I reached out to the ones that are and they said they'd keep me in mind.

A recruiter friend reached out and I'm considering working sales for his staffing agency.

I'd love to hear from people that made the dev -> sales switch!
