Hyrise Academy

The rise academy gave me the best basis to optimally pursue my career in the tech sales industry. The complete training, the content, the personal feedback, and the practical exercises helped me know when to set my focus and what it means to have a structured plan.

The way you call, write to, and convince a potential customer showed me that nothing is impossible and that you can do anything if you get a perfect foundation.

The best decision I've made.

Hi all, 
after 6 years in financial accounting, I wanted to get into Tech Sales at the age of 33.

Hyrise is (as far as I know) the first tech sales bootcamp in Germany. I wanted to do the bootcamp part time and find a remote job afterwards. I contacted the admissions office at Hyrise about these 2 points. They told me that they cannot guarantee that I will find a remote job later. I decided to complete the bootcamp anyway.

All my goals became reality or even better:
-> I learned a toolbox to be successful in SaaS Sales, both with theoretical knowledge and practical work like cold calling
-> I had a lot of fun and a lot of support from the coaches and the community
-> There were really good guest lectures from well-known companies, e.g. Salesforce

At the end, I could choose between 3 (!!) remote job offers even before the bootcamp was over - I didn't expect that at all.

Conclusion: I would recommend it 100%. If you want to get more information, feel free to contact me on LinkedIn. Read less

Hyrise gave me a great  foundation to fully grasp the entire sales pipeline, from generating leads to closing a deal. My course coach Dom did a great work guiding each one of us in the squad with excellent feedback. And Gemma was impeccable with her support and motivation. The entire experience overall was an amazing journey. At times it seemed tense and overwhelming, but I can tell you it was worth every sweat. I feel that this course went well beyond just training me in tech sales, it also gave me confidence to fight for what you love and ultimately makes you great. It has change my perspective and the course of my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dominic, Gemma, Alvaro and Micheal. You have created a special place to thrive and rise....The name of you school is very fitting❤️ Read less

Thanks to my new employer, I had the chance to take part in the Hyrise tech sales bootcamp over the last 8 weeks. So what makes it such a special training? Even though I have already gained many years of experiences in premium retail sales, after the first week I realized that one never stops learning no matter which professional background you have. 
We have been provided with first class content covering everything that is needed in order to get an idea what tech sales is about including but not limited to the world of tech industry, psychology-based sales, self-organizing and much more. The way how the course is structured and the content is selected takes you to another level. On top of that, we put what we have learned into practice right away while receiving individual feedback from our personal mentor. That’s why Hyrise Academy became extremely valuable to me and makes it so unique. 
Overall, I have not only deepened my professional but also my personal skills in dealing with people. It is something I will make use of for the rest of my life because at the end of the day it is always about people and how to bring them value. Read less

Hyrise was my training during my first months into my new job in SaaS-sales. Since I used to work in a sales-related (but not actual sales) position before, I thought that this is going to be a standard (maybe boring) sales training with lots of sales theory that we must complete.
Within the firts two weeks, it became clear that the Hyrise training is absolutely different to any training I've ever experienced before. The concept of blended learning was structured in a perfect manner: Theory, trying everything on our own, receiving feedback, doing in the real world incl. further feedback. The person-in-person feedback sessions were valuable.
Hyrise always had a strong focus on the real world. We learned what really matters in SaaS-sales, always with a clear structure. We didn't waste time with unnecessary theory - most of the time it was really job-related and doing-related. We didn't need to do theoretical assignments, but assignments like "send out x requests and show us how you handled the responses". Based on such assignments concerning the real world, we got feedback and could improve quickly.
I highly recommend this training for every person that is interested in SaaS-sales, even if you already had a glimpse in sales before! Read less

I graduated a few months ago from Hyrise and found very fast an sales job in a SaaS company at Planday. 
Hyrise gives you everything you need to get started with your sales career. You lose your fear about cold calling and get confident about yourself. You learn a lot about basics and objection handling to get some months leading edge against colleagues as SDR.
I am very happy to get the chance and opportunity by joining the Hyrise community. The support after graduating and finding a SDR job is amazing and it took only a few weeks to get conform with the new product to book meetings in your new company.

I found 1 week before ending my bootcamp on Hyrise an attractive job in an amazing company and I am happy about not missing this chance. 

Especially noteworthy is the method of teaching. I learned much about self-organization like creating calendars and working with a workflow for more success. On Hyrise you are responsible for yourself and that's and huge profit for myself and my sales career. You also had always someone to talk about and ask questions in weekly meetings where you note your goals and key learnings. That helped a lot to stay focused and get happy about the new learnings. 

At all I can say it was not a waste of my life on the contrary it was a huge winning for my future to participate in Hyrise. 

Thank you Dom, Mike, and Alvaro for this great job.  Read less

Hi there, This review is designed to give you a different perspective on the course. Have you ever tried to apply to a sales related job and found out that you have not made it to phase 1 due to lack of experience? Me too, that's why I decided in July 2021 to overcome this situation and join the Hyrise Academy and thus, learn how to do real sales by industry experts. The Hyrise Academy Program is designed for those who want to be challenged every day. If you are not looking for a monotonous course, congrats, you are in the right place. The course is not just focused on teaching, it also covers basic concepts that will be required for a real job in sales such as being persistent with your targets and how to overcome quota. The course is designed for those who are humble enough to learn from their mistakes and who are not afraid to ask for feedback. They will be always there for any need you might have, the humanity and closeness of the coaches have completely won me over. I think that I have learnt more in one and half months than in a full career at university. I would be happy to share my experience for those thinking on doing the course.

This is undoubtedly the best Tech Sales bootcamp you will come across. I interviewed with every bootcamp option that was available and the moment I met the founders of Hyrise academy, I knew where I was going despite the fact that Hyrise academy had no reviews at that time. Hyrise Academy truly cares about my success and I feel heard and taken care of. The program is well-structured, self-paced, and very flexible with my schedule. I have learned, improved, and grown so much during my time here and I have made lifelong friends and connections. Everyone gets weekly individual sessions with their coach which adds so much value to this program. The coolest part is that the Hyrise network has a global reach and you can get placed in many countries. I feel ready and excited to get placed in an awesome company very soon!  Read less

I can highly recommend this outstanding Sales Training Bootcamp. It's hands-on experience, which is much more important than just theory and reading books. No matter how much you learn on your own, I couldn't have gotten this far without this hands-on experience. The detailed theory (extensive course material!) covers the whole sales cycle, but it's the mentoring, which makes this programme unique. The founders have put so much thought, effort and heart into the Hyrise Academy, which isn't self-evident at all and speaks for itself. The coaches are brilliant with a lot of experience. They are so encouraging and motivational and get the best out of everyone. At all times, I felt really comfortable and understood. All in all, if you are looking for a well thought out and serious training the Hyrise Academy is for you! And the best is that I landed a job at my favorite company and couldn't be happier now. It's just the beginning of an exciting career in Sales and I will take the Hyrise Academy along my journey. Thanks guys for this life-altering opportunity! Read less

I had work experience in a corporate but always had in mind to try out at tech startups. That’s how I came across Hyrise Academy and learned about a way of being tech salesperson to enter the high tech world I wanted. The best thing about Hyrise Academy is the combination of self-paced learning and actual work challenges. Because coaches are highly experienced as working years in sales and SaaS / B2B sales specifically, you have quality coaching and instant feedback, after graduation, you have no doubts landing a tech sales job, just as I did it (after 3 months). I’ll bet anyone who is interested in tech world and more financial incentives, won’t be bothered to search for sales jobs as this is loaded with challenges in the industry but allows you to develop other skills quickly!  Read less

Starting at Hyrise Academy was one of the best decisions. After the 6-8 weeks boot camp, I'm here and can recommend it to everyone! There was not a single negative point that worried me and therefore a big compliment to the team! The content and the coaching were indescribably good and I am happy to be part of this family.

The Tech Sales Bootcamp of the Hyrise Academy was the perfect way for me, as a mother, to reorientate myself professionally in such a way that the work circumstances can also be adapted to the difficult circumstances of the pandemic and at the same time I can do something I enjoy. The course is super structured, you can see how much heart and soul has gone into it and it is fun to learn. Even people with no previous technical knowledge can easily get to grips with the subject matter and learn step by step all the important tips and tricks for dealing with customers, how to communicate, as well as all the important work structures and processes, so that they can quickly and easily settle into their everyday work as a salesperson. The job placement to exciting tech companies included in the programme worked without any problems and I found a new job directly after the bootcamp. Read less

Having finished my master's a few months ago, I had a question what next? "HYRISE ACADEMY BOOTCAMP" gave me the answer to that, which was starting my journey in the world of B2B tech sales. From day one of the Bootcamp, I was wearing the shoes of a real SDR that would go and generate leads and ultimately make a cadence of cold calling, emailing, and social selling via LinkedIn.  The best part of the Bootcamp was learning to build a human rapport with the prospect through a personalization approach. Secondly, this approach showed me how to ask the right questions so that the pain points of the prospect could be comprehended. The six-week structure is built to the point which covers the training in the shortest span, with the coach guiding us throughout the process. After finishing my Bootcamp I achieved great success with landing myself a sales position at Top. legal. I highly recommend it to all aspiring salespeople who want to start or upskill their journey in tech-sales to  consider "HYRISE ACADEMY" . Read less

What I like the most about Hyrise bootcamp, is that it focuses on the human approach and the consultative aspects that makes you create change and provide value to partners and clients. It’s definitely one the of the best experiences I had. The whole journey is very well structured and planned to take you step by the step from understanding the tech industry and sales concepts to applying every step of sales.  The bootcamp has the perfect balance between the knowledge building through updated and easy to learn materials; to actual exercises that makes you master the concept by doing; until the constructive feedback that highlights your strength and challenges. 
At Hyrise, you live the life of sales from generating leads, to closing deals with all approaches n between. It is like having a new career but with the coaching and support that makes you shine and achieve your goals.
For me, the experience is not only for people who want to switch career into sales but also for anyone working in partnerships, business development or any job with contacts creation and partnerships building. The coaching and mentorship was a crucial part of my learning and now after two intensive and fulfilling months, I am proud to be a hyriser. I am not the same person that joined two months ago and it is definitely one of the best decision I have ever made. Read less

A few months ago, while lurking on Twitter, I found someone who briefly explained what Hyrise does and from that moment, my whole perspective of my future has changed. 

Before Hyrise, my experience with sales was pretty informal and wasn't relevant for tech companies, which is the place I wanted to end up working. The bootcamp has taught me lots of things, from the basics of SaaS B2B sales, to niche stuff such as negotiation. Furthermore, the curriculum covers all the important aspects of sales from cold outreaching (calls, emails, LinkedIn selling...) to discovery calls, product demo's, closing deals or even writing elegantly crafted proposals that no one will decline. 

And the best thing... It's not boring! You work with established companies and train by selling their products, making you learn the characteristics of the role by doing it from the 2nd week. Also, you'll have amazing and experienced mentors such as Dominic or Alvaro, that follow up with your journey from day 1 and provide valuable feedback for everything you submit. It has been a pleasure to meet them and to be able to learn from their experience. 

If you're good at interacting with people and want a career change, or start a new one, apply for Hyrise. You will not regret it and you will finish after almost 2 months with a complete set of new skills that will help you land on a new job, and even improve your interpersonal relationships. Read less

I recently completed the Hyrise Academy Bootcamp and I can highly recommend it!

The program is a great mix of theory (text, articles, videos), practical assignments, and weekly coaching sessions. I loved how the learning material wasn't abstract or theoretical, but very practical and easily applicable in my daily work as an SDR. 
I've never had any sales training before and after completing the BootCamp, I have a very good overview of the entire sales process - from prospecting and cold calling to doing demos and discussing proposals/closing a deal. 

Unlike most students, I already had a tech sales job when I started the program. The program was therefore tailored to my specific situation and allowed me to incorporate the studies into my actual work at my current employer which was very helpful.  

My coaches Dom and Alvaro were very supportive throughout the whole process, always offering help and valuable tips on how to overcome obstacles. I also noticed that tech sales reps seem to be in high demand, as I now receive job offers from head hunters on a weekly basis. 

I can highly recommend Hyrise Academy to anyone who is looking for a new challenge and wants to find a job that never gets boring. It is definitely worth the money :) Read less
