SDR, BDR and account executive roles at London tech companies. Sales roles only, and free to apply. A good first role pays up to £60,000 with commission.
Most London tech sales teams hire at three levels.
The usual first job in tech sales. You start conversations with new buyers by phone, email and LinkedIn, and book meetings for account executives. You need no sales experience and no degree.
You run the deal from the first meeting to the signed contract, and you carry a target. Most account executives start as SDRs. It is the fast track: six figures within two years, working hard.
The first salesperson at an early-stage company. You build the sales process while you sell. Usually for people with a few years of closing behind them.

Not for an SDR or BDR role, the usual first job. You need no sales experience and no degree. Employers look for someone who is curious, takes feedback, keeps going after a no, and talks clearly. Account executive roles usually want time as an SDR first.
Very little. Both find new buyers and book meetings for account executives. Some companies use SDR for inbound leads and BDR for outbound, and some use the names the other way round. Read the job ad, not the title.
