Vendition Sales Bootcamp

I signed up for Vendition through Linkedin in a time of need: during COVID, without work, and getting no responses from hundreds of applications. I was pretty impressed that about a week after signing up I was already having some interviews with companies. Most were a pretty good fit, and I was able to choose interviews and companies that I wanted to move forward with. Ultimately Vendition provided me with 3 interviews, and 1 of them is now my current position and hopefully a long career at a great and fast growing start up. I do wish that I had a little more 1:1 time with people from Vendition, mainly through the mentorship part of the program. I believe they were spread a bit thin at that point as my mentor was constantly booked and lost contact with me. I was able to succeed in the role on my own though.

Inside Sales Bootcamp was incredibly helpful for me. Ryan was our instructor and he was extremely upbeat, positive, helpful and provided us with a pluthera of relevant, worthwile and frankly, cutting edge information. I felt so lucky to be able to attend this bootcamp in San Francisco and feel very well prepared for my job search. Ryan gave us lots of homework and I am confident that if I do my homework that I will land a fulfilling job well-suited to my skills and desires. Thank you, Ryan. You rock!!!

I have attended many boot camps in the past few years at my university, but this boot camp honestly helped me restructure my elevator pitch, which was something I had down perfectly.  Mike brought up a lot of good points and covered not only finding a great fit, but making sure you know how to avoid any surprises when accepting a job.  He is very honest about everything and won't just tell you what you want to hear. I can't see anyone regretting attending a boot camp and I would highly recommend. 

I saw a posting on LinkedIn for a two-day workshop by InsideSales Bootcamp that was free for University of Colorado students and thought it couldn't hurt to give it a shot, and for which I had no expectations. When I arrived at the first workshop I was surprised to see how casual and laid back the atmosphere was. Mike went through his presentation in a professional yet highly inclusive way, pausing every so often to answer any questions people had or to give us an opportunity to ask questions we might not have otherwise asked. We received booklets with all the information he was covering and on which we could take notes or reference back to for key information. It was more than a lecture because we had the opportunity to try our hand at the techniques he was teaching with others attending the workshop. The second day went as smoothly as the first, only with the added bonus of pizza Mike brought us. I was extremely grateful to learn about a number of job searching tools that I had never heard of before such as Salesforce and other similar programs. 

My only complaint is that there was a lot of jargon and acronyms Mike and others used that I did not understand, but Mike was always ready to explain their meaning if asked. 

I talked with Mike after the workshop and from our conversation I decided to follow up with the more intensive Bootcamp they offer, which I am excited to start soon and will review upon completion. 

I highly recommend the workshop to any recent college graduates, such as myself, because it offers tons of insight into selling yourself and job prospecting that otherwise is hard to learn on your own. 

It was a really good workshop that is designed well for those who are looking to jump into the working world, especially in San Francisco. While I already came with a lot of basic things done prior, it was great to get another set of eyes to review my work and give feedback and understand more of what recruiters are looking for.  It was nice that the workshop ended up being smaller than anticipated as it allowed for more opportunities to share our work and collect critique about our work. I liked hearing how others with the same passion and drive that I have share their work so that I could have a broader insight into how to respond to questions or prepare statements. I throughly enjoyed learning about all the different apps/ plugins and programs that we could use to better prepare us for interviews and creating a broader network and tools to stay on top of the process. Ryan did a great job at explaining what we had to do and gave great feed back. The energy he put forth during the session was great as it spread to the group he was instructing. He had deep understanding of the material and as so he was able to give full in depth answers that fully explained what we should be doing and what companies would be looking for as well as the industry standards.  I came in with a decent understanding with how to prospect for jobs and apply, but I left with a broader understanding and equipped with more tools for success.
