Aspireship

I was laid off with a sales background and wanted to get into tech.  

But companies told me I didn't have a background. So I found a building block to help me with that communication and understanding of the space. 

Jake Thibodeau told me about this place. I was a bit skeptical, not having a college degree, I needed whatever edge to help me stand out while applying. 

I am glad I signed up. 

The content you take in is solid. But the support and community you get is A+. They are always looking at how to offer more, which comes from adding new courses, webinars, job placement, and community.  

If you get laid off, you can return, and they will help. 

You can also take what you learn and find a role on your own. But when you have support, it is easier to achieve your goal. 

P.S. The way Christine Rogers's shows up on courses and webinars are 🔥. She has so much passion and conviction you can tell she inspires and lights people's worlds on fire.   Read less

I was really excited they released RevOps course from Aspireship, having taken their SaaS Sales and Customer Success courses, I jumped on it immediately. I really appreciated the client-prompting and ‘hands-on’ approach and content. It also helped me to land a job outside the program. Read less

 I have worked in the education space for 10 years both inside and outside the classroom, but always wanted to find a way to break into tech. After doing some research, I found the Aspireship program. As you can see on Course Report, their courses are highly rated. I decided to jump in and take the course for the very reasonable asking price they ask(which was great for me on a teacher’s salary). In short order, I found that the high ratings for the course were well deserved.
I found the curriculum and videos at Aspireship to be very engaging, easy to follow, and gave vital insights into the industry. Like any online course, you get what you put into it. So I suggest taking notes and reviewing info if you struggle on the quizzes. By the end of the SaaS sales course, I felt like I knew a lot more about the industry and whether or not I would enjoy the the industry(that’s worth the price of admission in my opinion).
The one time payment also gave me access to all other courses on Aspireship. I completed the Customer Success course right after the sales course, which was great. And since I joined, they have added two completely new courses, and I have access to them! I’m really impressed with the value they have given me as a customer.
Then there is the job assistance. I completed the course just when all of the tech layoffs began to happen in February 2023. It was definitely not the best time to try and break into tech, as there were very few jobs and a massive supply of unemployed tech workers all vying for those jobs. It is job assistance, not a job guarantee. However, my advisor Ana always kept me updated with market trends, possible job opportunities, and hopped on a number of calls to help me prep for the job search or for specific interviews. I’m very grateful for her help, and again, this was all included in my one time fee. 
I continued teaching at a school and searched for jobs on my own at the same time until recently. In May, Aspireship was able to connect me with a company for an interview, and after a couple of rounds of interviews, I was lucky enough to get the job! Without Aspireship, I would not have the content knowledge or the connection necessary to get this job.
With Aspireship, you get what you put into it. They give you all the tools and support necessary to make that break into tech at a very reasonable price. I’m very grateful for their help and encourage anyone truly driven to break into tech to go with Aspireship.

The SaaS Sales Foundations course offered through Aspireship was integral for me to gain insight in to the creation and functions of a sales pipeline, and the daily tasks of and SDR. The content is organized, easily digestible, and engaging for anyone looking to prepare for a role in SaaS sales. Post-completion, I was given options and was well prepared for interviews by the candidate experience team. The team was quick to help and always available to connect. Patience is important, and the process requires effort on the candidate’s side, but it is a great experience and definitely worth it. 5/5 Read less

Aspireship was a wonderful experience that sharpened the skills that I already had as well as enlightened me on the world of SaaS and tech sales. Corey and Christine made the lessons insightful but never boring. The role play was my favorite part. I was able to handle objections effectively using what I had learned and Skip Miller's timeless ATL/BTL methodology (Skip is also a guest instructor). Ana in Customer Experience was the shining star however. She was with me every step of the way with constructive feedback and recognition. When I landed my new role she was equally as excited as me. What a LEGEND! Read less

Aspireship made it so easy for me to learn the background knowledge I needed to break into the world of SaaS sales. I was a teacher with no real sales experience, and now I work as an SDR for an education technology company.  My coursework with Aspireship prepared me for the interview process as well as the job itself. I was able to complete the coursework quickly and flexibly, rewatching lessons as needed. I really benefited from the lessons on the sales process and buyer's journey. 

The team at Aspireship is unmatched. They are so supportive and responsive, and give real, constructive feedback. I made it to the final round with an Aspireship partner with the help of the team members. They gave me background information, helped me with the projects, and helped me practice interviewing. Although I ended up being hired with a non-partner company, I don't think I could have done it without the Aspireship team.

I HIGHLY recommend Aspireship for anyone looking to change career paths and break into SaaS sales or customer success!

I had a fantastic experience with Aspireship. I'm entering the third week in my new role as an Account Executive at my new company and I couldn't be happier. The team at Aspireship is extremely helpful and they provide great value to graduates. If you're sick of getting snubbed for interviews by resume filters or want to transition into tech but don't have the background, this is the best program to do it through.  Read less

I found Aspireship after leaving a prior sales role (B2C, not in SaaS). I wanted to transition into SaaS sales and wasn't disappointed. Once graduating, it only took about a month to land a job at a great startup.
Had an excellent experience with Aspireship's team. You can tell that they're fully invested in your success throughout the process. After passing the final assessment, I was presented with a number of companies that they felt best matched my goals and other criteria. You have something akin to a dating profile where they facilitate a match between you and their hiring partners. If it's a "yes" on both sides, then you move forward with the interview process.
Some people complete the course pretty fast, sometimes as quickly as a weekend. It took me longer because I'm pretty thorough and like to review materials and overprepare. Just depends on your personality and situation, really. Beyond the basic course, they have tons of other training videos on numerous topics, including mindset, prospecting, discovery calls, etc. Basically hundreds of hours of training to supplement your understanding of the industry and role.
Highly recommend Aspireship for anyone looking to transition into SaaS sales.

My transition out of the classroom would not have been possible without the incredible people at Aspireship.

The SaaS Sales Foundations course content is so engaging, and the instructors are fabulously knowledgeable while hilariously entertaining. Completing this course truly armed me with the knowledge and confidence I needed to begin searching for my new career.

While I ended up being hired outside of the Aspireship hiring network, I know my experience with the course is what made a huge difference for me in the hiring process.

Feedback I received from my interview process was that the DECISION I made to shift career paths is one thing, but the steps I took to PREPARE and LEARN how to do the potential job is something that stood out to the those who hired me.

“The key word is preparation. It was interesting to talk to transitioning educators that didn’t have any previous training - because I could definitely tell.” 

So — to all my fellow teachers (or anyone from any industry) out there looking to transition into SaaS:

Look no further, and sign up for Aspireship STAT! In my opinion, they are your BEST shot in landing a career in this exciting industry. If the course ALONE got me where I am, just imagine what Aspireship’s job placement platform can do for you on top of that!! Read less

Aspireship is an amazing program for anyone with any interest in the technology sales world.  It offers the first 30 days free and is an in depth intro into the SaaS sales world.  Bite sized lessons with checks for understanding make this ideal for anyone currently working and with limited time.  

If you pass the final, you will get paired with an associate who will help you with opportunities and make sure you are prepared every step of the way.  

Completing this program not only showed me I already had transferable skills for this industry, but provided me with more tools, education, and confidence that I would be able to immediately contribute, and grow in this role. Read less

Thanks to Aspireship, I was able to transistion from education to SaaS Sales in under 2 months. I did the course in 1 month and got my job offer less than a month later!

The talent network was invaluable in getting me an interview with a company that turned out to be my dream company! I highly recommend Aspireship and this course to anyone looking to make the career transition to SaaS Sales.  Read less

Career transitions aren’t for the faint of heart. Aspireship gave me the tools I needed (and some I didn't know I needed) to pivot into tech and land an amazing new role! From the sales foundations coursework, to interview prep, to facilitating my offer, the support I’ve received at every turn of this journey has been phenomenal. Austin (my candidate representative), in particular, went above and beyond to enrich my experience with strategic advice, continuous hiring partner updates, and encouragement. 
This program has been a force of good in my life, both professionally and personally, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to any job-seeker! Read less

After 20 years in education and a degree in tech, it was still really hard and scary to make a career change. Not only will the FREE Aspireship courses prepare you to crush it in the tech world, the skills you learn can easily be transferred to your job search and the personalized and caring support was amazing. I landed 4 job offers and filled out exactly 0 job applications because the quality of the content and the support from the Aspireship team are second to none. For a totally FREE service, they truly have built a program that will serve candidates well beyond their career transition. They carefully vet their partners and make sure their graduates are fully supported with effective and specific feedback to make the interview process seamless.

Aspireship is a wonderful tool for those looking to jumpstart a career in sales or freshen up your knowledge of the industry! Coming from someone who was transitioning from a different field into sales, I felt there was immense value from the course. After graduating and moving through the course I was placed in a job within two weeks. The graduate network has been awesome! Read less

I came across Aspireship through a series of fortunate events. After a challenging number of months trying to break into SaaS after a long career in B2C sales, I was utterly defeated.  Then a LinkedIn connection directed me towards Aspireship.
Enrolling into and completing Aspireship was the best decision I've ever made.  The entire organization consists of phenomenal humans.  I've continued to go back through the course to prepare for interviews and help me stay sharp in my new role as an Account Executive a role I landed through Aspireship.  I couldn't be more grateful to the entire Aspireship organization.

I was looking to make a career change into the SaaS industry and didn't know where to start. After applying on my own left me with nothing but disappointment and frustration, I did some research on course opportunities. I saw Aspireship on Linkedin and took a shot. I finished the course material much quicker than recommended (I finished it in about 4 days). After flying through the course, I learned that I had graduated! I was instructed to reattempt one of my final assessments so that I was putting my best foot forward. Shortly after I was presented with opportunities. After several rounds of interviews with a few companies, I received and accepted an offer. This entire process post graduation took no more than 2 weeks. I know that this may not be the norm, but Aspireship will absolutely help you get hired in the SaaS industry if you commit to it. Really great company, and incredibly helpful staff. Can not recommend this course enough! Read less

I have been trying to research new career opportunities for me when I found Aspireship. The course was set up to take at my own pace and completely free for the first month. I thought "I will just try it out and see if it is even worth my time". The content kept my interest and they had little quizzes at the end of each video, so I could practice what they just taught. 

I completed the course and was immediately contacted to set up a profile. Ana with Aspireship is absolutely incredible. She walked me through the process and sent me fantastic opportunities. I had an interview and a job offer with Xplor Technologies within two weeks. Honestly, it would have been quicker but my schedule was difficult to get around. 

10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone looking to make a career pivot to Sass Sales.  Read less

I accidentally stumbled across Aspireship when I was googling “how to get into tech” and to be completely honest, I thought it too good to be true but had some extra time to kill so I thought I would complete the courses and see where this thing takes me.
I am SO happy I decided to go through with Aspireship because they really do prepare you with the correct terminology and skills to break into the tech world. I was VERY eager to start a new career and was placed at an amazing company in a month! 
I couldn’t thank the Aspireship team more for being so supportive the whole entire way and even after they placed me! 
Thank you team and everyone at Aspireship who makes it happen!  Read less

After being unable to get into tech on my own (with 6 years of sales in the transportation industry) I decided to give Aspireship a try. I gave 120%, took it very seriously and was able to complete within the 30 day time given. The course is THE MOST user friendly online course I have ever taken. I walked away with a strong understanding of:
1. The buy process thanks to Skip Miller and Corey Kossack
2. Managing time
3. Prospecting
4. Being creative and resourceful in order to succeed in my role. 
5. So much more

The role plays are very useful in terms of understanding how to effectively handle objections. It is my opinion here that if you give 120% you will succeed here. 

Within completion Austin and Ana BOTH put in a ton of time and effort to help me land a job. I ended up winning a position I absolutely love and doing so within only 8 days of completion in terms of having an offer in hand. Not only did it move quickly but also I was able to earn a 20% increase to my target vs my prior job AND have significantly more upside.  Read less
