The Santa Clara Tech Sales Network is a student-led organization for Broncos interested in breaking into the tech industry through the world of sales. We host professional development workshops, guest speaker events with industry professionals, and hands-on sales skills training sessions. Members also gain access to exclusive internship opportunities, mentorship, and resources to accelerate their personal and career growth.
 
As a co-founder of the SCU Tech Sales Network, I saw a clear gap in resources and opportunities for students interested in breaking into tech sales. Our goal was not only to bring industry knowledge and guest speakers to campus, but also to create a tangible pipeline connecting SCU students to full-time roles in the field. Through sales training, competitions, and career-focused programming, we aim to position SCU as the premier university for launching a career in tech sales. 
 

What I enjoy most about leading the SCU Tech Sales Network is the opportunity to connect with professionals across different sectors and industries within tech sales while constantly learning myself. I love creating an environment where students can gain real-world insights, build meaningful relationships, and explore career paths they might not have considered. Most of all, it’s rewarding to open doors and provide tangible opportunities for those passionate about starting a career in tech sales.
