What a journey! This community has far exceeded my expectations. Darren & Erik have been incredible leaders, cheering you on every step of the way. Not to mention always eager to share their wealth of knowledge. They have created such a special community where members are ready to help and excited to celebrate everyone's successes. I started my journey hardly knowing what SaaS stood for, to now knowing I could crush a sales role. Love my SaaSBros. fam!

Being a mentor for the SaaS Bros community has proven to be a massive win for myself and the community as a whole. I broke into tech from a nonprofit background before I knew about SaaS Bros and was looking for a place to share that experience. This platform has connected me with so many other talented and hungry individuals and an outlet to help others make the life change I was looking for. I’ve gotten to already see mentees have success, find new jobs, and break into something new and exciting. This is an amazing community.

After my first week in SaaS sales, there’s no chance I could have started this journey without reading “How to Break Into SaaS sales and WIN” The SaaSBros. (Erik McKee and Darren McKee) mission is to help 100 hungry individuals break into SaaS sales and WIN in 2022-thanks to their no nonsense, easy to read, action oriented playbook, I broke into SaaS sales. And if I of all people can, you can too. ——- Here are my top 3 questions, rather, limiting beliefs I had before I even picked up the book: 🛑 What if I don’t have software experience? —-✅ Read SaaS Bros-they’ll teach you how to get in the right place to get it. 🛑 What if my LinkedIn / résumé suck? —-✅ Read SaaS Bros-they’ll show you not only how to fix it, but how to find the people who can do it better than you. 🛑 What if I don’t know who to talk to? —-✅ Read SaaS Bros-they have a tried and true method for getting you in front the right people who can pour wisdom into you (and maybe land you an interview 😎). —— I’ll be posting more about this incredible resource this week but can’t emphasize enough why you should read this book. Come on, it’s only 42 pages-anyone has time for that right? …see more

I struggled to break into saas sales when I started out. I was a law school runaway. I studied history/political science and not business/marketing... Despite having a great "resume", I couldn't get a job in saas because I lacked experience... And my lack of experience was for an SDR role... 🤯 SDR roles I never got opportunities to even interview for. I was turned down based on my resume w/o even talking to a recruiter 😮 But I'm not the only person who knows this challenge. My experience early on is like many others today. That’s why I love what Erik McKee and Darren McKee are doing to help others break into SaaS. These guys have written an SDR playbook that is truly one of the most helpful guides for breaking into saas sales. Whether you're a new college grad or transitioning careers with years of experience - what these guys outline is the best resource you'll find on the internet for all things SDR I've now spent 6 years in this saas world and have seen, read, and listened to a lot of sdr talk - and this tops them all. So if this resonates - hit them up. They'd love to chat. #sdr #bizdev #salesdevelopment #sales #saas #saassales …see more

Working my way through SaaSBros How to Break into Sales Playbook... My WHY (do I want to go into SaaS sales)? Because I want to show my kids that we are not limited in our careers by our education or experience.

If you're looking to break into the world of SaaS tech I strongly recommend purchasing the Playbook written by Erik McKee & Darren McKee. They are the SaaSBros.! I utilized the Playbook and their newsletter to create my gameplan to break into SaaS. The Playbook gives you the necessary tools to formulate your own plan for success! It's an easy read with tons of great info! #saasbros #breakin #sdr #wehungry …see more

The journey on finding my SDR opportunity has been filled with ups and downs. It’s literally been an emotional roller coaster!😭🎢 Although there have been some setbacks, I refuse to give up. Every Sunday night, I’ve been reading Part 1 of How to Break into SaaS Sales and Win: A 6 Part Playbook by SaaSBros. I read that part to remind myself WHY I gotta break into SaaS. WHY I can’t give up. So what’s my WHY?🤔 My 17 year old son is my WHY. I was just 19 years old when I had him. Being a single parent has been very challenging, but it’s also my greatest accomplishment. Due to his academic achievements, my son is entering Senior year as a member of The National Society of High School Scholars. My goal is to provide a better future for him, make sure he’s able to go to college (hopefully at John Jay College (CUNY)), and pursue his career in Criminology. To those who are looking for their opportunity to break into tech, don’t lose hope. Remember your WHY💪🏼 #motivation #mondaymotivation #why #goals #saas #tech #sales #proudmom …see more

I broke into tech with no experience. I used to be a limo driver and a valet attendant where I learned the art of parking cars backwards. Everyone has transferable skills and the biggest one that helped me from that last role... Instead of asking - "You need any directions?" Gave more value - "Would you happen to like tacos? There is this secret must try place if you do" When I 1st connected with Erik McKee while he was an AE - they were hiring. He challenged me to explain my WHY! When Erik and Darren McKee were looking to start SaaSBros. and asked me for my take for a section of the playbook - I was more than happy to do that knowing what they were doing was going to help so many people. Since then they have grew by helping people break into tech with using their untraditional experience as a superpower. They are starting a community where they plan to help even more people. 🔗 in the comments. This photo was to rep their swag and give Erik the idea of what it would look like to get a SaaSBros tattoo on your forehead. Maybe we can get Erik to do that if they hit a certain community # 🤔😅🤣

The SaaSBros Playbook is an absolute game changer. They are giving you the keys to the castle of freedom for your future, both professionally and personally. I had been trying to break into tech for YEARS. The process Eric and Darren lay out is the reason I'm going to double my income from my previous career and I'm on track for another promotion before the end of the year, with multiple recruiters reaching out weekly. All while being more present at home for my family.

This is my go-to resource for anyone that is even thinking about trying to break into SaaS. It's written like you are having a nice conversation over a cup of coffee with two dudes that have gone before you in your journey. It's not a textbook and it's not boring - I read the whole thing in one short sitting. There's a reason why Erik and Darren have 40,000+ followers (and counting) on LinkedIn. They understand SaaS because they did the hard work of discovering the unwritten rules and they put them to work. They both broke in with "no experience." These guys weren't handed jobs. They broke in, started from the bottom, and worked their way to the top. The concepts they share in the Playbook have been learned the old-fashioned way and that's why I have confidence that if it worked for them, it will work for others. I finished the Playbook with very clear actionable steps for each stage of the SaaS process, and with real confidence that I am prepared to win at every turn. Thank you, Erik and Darren, for building the best resource on the market for anyone trying to break in to SaaS.

This playbook is everything that I needed. I grabbed my FREE copy that they were so generous to share with others and payed it forward by sharing with my network so we can win together! The best thing… where do I start. It’s full of detailed and well thought out advice on how to not only break into SaaS but to win! Very impressive and will make sure to read and reread and share with others!

I knew Erik when he still had hair on his head and before he had coined the phrase “back dooring your way into tech” While SaaS Bro’s technically didn’t exist the principles Erik and Darren are preaching helped me land a tech gig at an awesome company. Here’s how: I started with my why. I narrowed my list (Erik actually gave me a list to start with) then narrowed that one. I leveraged a connection in my network and used that relationship to help me prep and crush the interview process. 2 years later I’ve been promoted 3 times, I work at an awesome company with incredible sales leaders who help develop me daily! My story is probably a lot like y’all’s, didn’t have sales experience for an entry level sales role. So had to go about things in different way. I couldn’t speak more highly of Erik and Darren. Both has humans and sales leaders! Super glad I asked him for help…

Hey Erik, Just wanted to send a quick note about the Playbook. Fantastic job! I'm an avid reader and you perfectly interlaced story and actionables. I'm super impressed. I am not normally one for step-by-step guides, but this didn't feel like that at all. I love to explore a topic and try things out and I generally learn processes best by doing, and that is exactly what this book set up to do. I read it before bed, but couldn't sleep after because my head was buzzing with ideas and things I wanted to jump on. Once again, amazing work. This is surely going to be a key piece to hitting your goal this year. Thanks!
