Uvaro Reviews
- SDR- 10/8/2020Ezra • SDR • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInUvaro landed me an incredible full-time role in tech sales. I’ve been in the same industry for 20 years, and here’s how they helped me pivot-
- They showed me why tech sales was accessible and lucrative. I thought I could only break into tech after a couple of months if I endured my nightmare of learning to code 12 hours/day.
- It’s all you can learn, everyday, in real-life situations. After two hours of class, I tested and practiced what I learned for another 8 hours a day (even though assignments could probably be completed in 90 minutes). Both of Uvaro’s instructors are compelling and inspiring which makes you want to implement and master everything they’re teaching. Weekly SPIFFS help too!
- Uvaro’s paid internship program gave me an opportunity to experience the rollercoaster ups and downs of a seed round startup. Uvaro, themselves trained me on-site while providing my tech stack + subscriptions, since early stage startups won’t always have sales managers and a promising tech stack. About six weeks later, I was offered a full time role as their first sales hire!
- During the internship period, I received warm intros for job interviews every week. I wasn’t searching and applying for jobs at all. The Uvaro ecosystem and their career services staff just kept feeding me opportunities. These interviews helped me to pinpoint the type of tech company I wanted to work at.
- My job offer included equity which was all new and confusing to me. My school’s CEO took time to chat with me for half an hour and I knew exactly where I wanted to go with my salary negotiations.
- I’m still in community with all my teachers, alumni, new recruits in Slack. Uvaro continues to provide opportunities to connect with industry leaders through sales leadership webinars, coffee sessions, and happy hours.
- Game changer- 10/1/2020Yu • SDR/BDR • Graduate • Course: Tech Sales • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInJoining Uvaro was one of the best decisions I made for my career! What makes Uvaro so special?
#1: Experienced instructors who provide hands-on training
I started from having zero experience in sales to being ready to work as an SDR/BDR in 3 months.
#2: Career coach who truly cares about our happiness in life
Thanks to her, I not only discovered my career path but also ended this program with two job offers!
#3: Amazing peers/cohort who are now my best friends
I have got to meet peers who have diverse career backgrounds yet similar mindset - the commitment and open-mindedness to grow and learn together!
#4: Internship opportunity
Uvaro offers an optional internship opportunity with several great companies. Uvaro offers a VERY HANDS-ON experience.
#5 Access to the broad network in the tech sales community
Founders & Uvaro staff are all experienced professionals in tech sales... they have their own network and connections. Uvaro grads are working in various companies now, and we all unite as Uvaro family :)
- Zero-to-Hero in 12 Weeks- 10/1/2020Matt Fairbanks • Graduate • Course: Tech Sales • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI don't even know where to start with Uvaro. It's been a positively life-changing experience from the very beginning. A fantastic community that clearly values its students, engaging course content, and incredible guest speakers. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to make a change in their life and gain valuable experience while learning from knowledgeable instructors. Job support is #1. Not only was the number of introductions staggering but the quality was incredible. Uvaro helps not just get a foot in the door into a new industry but introduces you to the top-performing companies in the sector. I felt like every interview or job challenge given to me was easy to understand and simple to complete because I was already ready to knock them down. The ongoing support is also fantastic because education doesn't end with graduation. It's just the beginning with podcasts, q&a sessions, roundtable discussions, and a new sales community to rely on. Check it out!
- Incredible Bootcamp- 9/25/2020Ahmed El Hussein • Graduate • Course: Tech Sales • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInComing from a technical background, I didn’t know how to integrate with sales since I had a very generic idea. Uvaro was a great introduction on the process of technical sales taught by incredible instructors that has actually done the job. The practical assignments delivered value in what you would have to apply in the real world. The staff is well versed in the industry and communicate their experience very well.
The course material starts from scratch to teach the fundamentals of SaaS (Software as a Service) selling and how B2B (Business to Business) is practiced. The most valuable part of the course for myself was how it takes you on a journey of all the responsibilities and roles in the tech sales realm. From BDR (Business Development Representative) to CS (Customer Support) it includes all the expectations each step of the way.
Uvaro has been the most valuable educational bootcamp I had the pleasure of taking. The resources and experience has been priceless.
- Phenomenal Priceless Experience- 7/3/2020Aileen Rioux • Course: Tech Sales • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI just completed the 12-week program. My experience was beyond my expectations, and I learned a great deal. Here's a review, though not an exhaustive list, of my phenomenal priceless experience with the program and Uvaro Team.
- created an environment that was conducive to learning
- gave me deeper insight into the topics
- provided excellent support for understanding the curriculum through class engagement and productive discussions
- presented concepts and techniques effectively and clearly, and taught us to think critically about the subjects
- developed my ability to apply theory to practice (via in-class, cross-cohort, networking and internship)
- top-notch guest speakers and career coaching
- really loved the SPIFFS (class competition)
- learned new tech stack
- The BEST there is- 6/4/2020Marc Roberts • BDR • Graduate • Course: Tech Sales • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI decided to take a leap of faith and try Uvaro's sales bootcamp. And boy oh boy, am I glad I did. The guests they brought in were top notch, the instructors were out of this world, and they made the material easy to digest.
I had no sales experience before I joined. I didn't even know what SaaS was. But they took me, a 39 year old guy, who just came from a completely different industry, and helped me land a job in week 10, out of the 12 week program.
If you have a chance to take this course, you have to grab it. It's not very often you get instructors who care so much about you. You will succeed if you take this course.
- Tech Sales Student- 5/11/2020Angeline Faytaren • Student • Course: Tech Sales • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInPrior to Uvaro, I had already been applying to SDR/BDR/AE roles thinking that I could easily do cold calls, prospect, and ask Discovery questions. I was dead wrong. I learned that there is a proper process to doing these thanks to Uvaro!
I live in Vancouver and I have to get up at 5:30 am to get ready for class. I tell you, I've never been more excited to wake up that early! The classes are always productive and insightful. Aside from the course material, the instructors (shout out to Sheila and Callum) ensure that students learn from each other too. I appreciate that they regularly bring in guest speakers who are experts in certain topics. I have reached out to them personally on LinkedIn to ask for advice and they were glad to help.
I'm only halfway through the program and I already learned so much about tech sales as a profession. I now feel better-equipped to apply for the companies I want to get into. I also feel confident that I would excel in a tech sales role.
If you're thinking of starting a new career or feel that you are stuck in your current sales role, this program is for you. It will be one of the best training programs you will ever come across.
PS. I'd be more than happy to answer questions about my experience with Uvaro on LinkedIn.

Title: Recruitment CoordinatorFriday, May 08 2020I appreciate you sharing your thoughts - it's always our goal to aid in your growth and success! Having you in the course is a lovely experience, and I'm so glad to hear that you feel supported.
- First week done!- 4/18/2020Sabin Bustamante • Student • Student • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI just finished the first week, and it was awesome! I'm looking forward to the next three months of the program! The cohort comes from a diverse background, and the instructors are very approachable and knowledgeable. Uvaro's connection with Kiite makes the whole experience more complete.
I'm looking forward to the Kiite Internship, which will be a big stepping stone to getting into the industry. If you are committed to starting a career in Tech Sales, Uvaro is the place to go!
- Reinventing Tech Sales- 4/13/2020Md Murad • Graduate • Course: Tech Sales • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInHave you heard of the thing called- reinventing the wheel? This is pretty much what Uvaro is up to! How are they exactly doing it? I'm sure you may wanna find out yourself and that way it's the most fun! Still, let me offer a sneak-peek. I call it two Ts: trust with technology. Sales is about trust and when you can top it up with the incredible technologies out there, you become unstoppable! Uvaro helps you master them both! Was fortunate to be part of this extraordinary initiative!
Response From: Sarah of Uvaro
Title: Recruitment CoordinatorSunday, Apr 26 2020I appreciate the emphasis on trust - it's such an important ingredient in this industry. Thank you so much for sharing, Murad, and we were the fortunate ones to have you in the course!
- A life changing experience, truly!- 4/8/2020John Moon • Graduate • Course: Tech Sales • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInSure, Uvaro teaches an incredible amount of knowledge and arms the student with practical skills to be successful, both drawing from tried and true methodologies but also cutting edge practices. And, yes, Uvaro regularly brings in tech industry leaders and veterans to speak about real experiences and applications. Okay, yeah, Uvaro pairs all that alongside an extremely through career coaching program.
But what really sets Uvaro apart is how incredibly devoted and invested every member of the staff is, from the instructors and recruitment folks to the CEO. In the many, many years of schooling I've gone through, I've never seen this level of involvement, nor have I heard of anything similar from anyone else I've spoken with who have gone through other schooling or gone through bootcamps.
It's tough to not come out of Uvaro a changed person. I know, it sounds hyperbolic, but I don't know how else to convey this! It's truly been an amazing 12 weeks and I very much look forward to continuing to build on the strong relationships I've forged through the program.Response From: Joseph Fung of Uvaro
Title: CEOThursday, Apr 09 2020Wow what a wonderful comment, John, thank you for sharing!
We're so excited to be part of your journey, and while I know we take that to heart, we don't always know if that comes across. It's so heartwarming to know it does! :)
Looking forward to a long term relationship!
- Amazing Experience- 4/2/2020Ian Hansen • Strategic Partnerships • Verified via LinkedInTop to Bottom Uvaro was beyond what I expected going in. Detailed lessons on every single aspect of Saas sales and business structure I could've thought of, and many I never would've thought of!
It's an overwhelming experience at the beginning, as you're loaded with new terms, information, and thought processes. As the course progresses this theory is put more into practice with projects, roleplay, and hearing directly from CEOs and founders of Saas companies and sales leaders across industries.
Beyond that, the team works with you to develop your LinkedIn profile, resume, and full application package. This is coupled with interview prep, and direct introductions to employers that are hiring.
The team at Uvaro - Joseph, Donna, Hana, and Sheila, are some of the most open and caring people I've had the chance to meet. I'll carry my experience at Uvaro and the connections I made throughout the rest of my career and life.Response From: Joseph Fung of Uvaro
Title: CEOWednesday, Apr 08 2020Thank you for sharing your thoughts Ian! Given how many sales training programs and how much content you've consumed before Uvaro, your positive comments means so much more!
I've shared your note with the team and it triggered many, many smiles! Looking forward to keeping in touch!
