Very little to do with technology other than a brief intro into different tech areas but the sales was basic sales techniques, unrelated to the tech space.

interesting, learned some new techniques. surprised that the lecturers, while sales pros, were not tech sales pros. not a waste of time. but i thought this program was going to show cases of sales in the tech field. pretty general.

I recently completed the Technology Sales course by the University of Maryland, and it was an invaluable experience. The curriculum provided practical insights into the tech sales process, covering everything from prospecting and lead generation to closing deals in complex sales environments. The course was well-structured, and the instructors were engaging, combining theory with real-world applications like customer types etc, that are immediately useful. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to build or strengthen their skills in the technology sales field!
