Sales training in the US for people starting from zero
Ventaka teaches you to sell in 10 minutes a day and gets you ready for your first SDR, BDR or inside sales job in the US: role-plays with AI customers, the «sell me this pen» test and a certificate you can show recruiters.
Ventaka is on the App Store and Google Play: 3 days free, cancel anytime.
Why sales is a good way in in the US
- Sales is one of the few well-paid careers in the US you can start without a specific degree: companies hire SDRs and BDRs for attitude and coachability, then train the rest.
- Wholesale and manufacturing sales reps earned a median of $76,460 a year in May 2025 according to the BLS, and $104,920 when selling technical and scientific products.
- Tech companies use a clear ladder: SDR → Account Executive → senior AE or manager, usually with on-target earnings (OTE) that combine a base salary and commission.
How Ventaka gets you ready
- Short game-style lessons: from zero to selling, 10 minutes a day
- Written role-plays with AI customers who push back with real objections
- The «sell me this pen» interview test with Cal, who scores you at the end
- A sales CV and a scam-offer detector
- A verifiable certificate to show recruiters
Red flags in sales job ads
- «Commission only» plus «independent contractor (1099)» for a job that looks like a full-time role: you carry the risk and get no minimum wage.
- Door-to-door «summer sales programs» that promise five figures in three months: ask for real pay data from last year's reps, not the top earner's story.
- You have to buy a starter kit, inventory or «training package» to begin: that is multi-level marketing, not a sales job.
- No base salary, no clear quota and no named product in the ad: a serious company tells you what you sell, to whom and how commission is paid.
In Ventaka you paste an ad into the scam-offer detector and it flags these warning signs for you.
Where to look for sales jobs
- LinkedIn Jobs. Where most SDR and BDR roles in tech are posted; recruiters also search profiles there.

- RepVue. Sales-specific: companies rated by their own reps on quota attainment and culture.
- Built In. Tech companies by city (New York, Austin, Chicago, Boston…), with many SDR openings.
